Just in case you want to stay up all night watching Japanese TV, I've perused the internets for a selection of programs you might be interested in. All times are Japan time and are subject to change, so adjust accordingly.
12:55PM, TV Asahi--Shinkonsan Irrashai! (Welcome, Newlyweds!)
Two freshly-married couples come to talk about their lives and make the male host fall down (It's his schtick.) Later, the couples compete in a lottery-style draw for prizes ranging from a honeymoon in Hawaii to a used Brillo pad. (:30)
1:25, TV Asahi--Panel Quiz Attack 25
Likely Japan's longest-running weekly quizzer with over 1700 episodes. 4 players of similar age compete for cash and prizes in a battle of knowledge and skill on a 5x5 Othello board. Only 12 have gotten a perfect score, but a high school student pulled it off just last month. (:30)
2:00, TBS--Sasuke Fall 2009 Navi
Amp yourself up with spoilers. (:60)
3:05, NHK--Autumn Grand Sumo Tournament: Final Day
It's been on ESPN, before. Now see it in its natural habitat. It's either that or golf. (2:55)
3:40, WOWOW--Leatherheads
A 2008 film about 1920's American football in Japanese. Starring George Clooney. (2:00)
5:00, TBS--Fullmetal Alchemist
Rider's 2nd favorite series produced through Studio BONES. (:30)
6:00, Fuji TV--Chibi Maruko-chan
One of Japan's anime institutions, starring a girl and her family. (:30)
6:30, Fuji TV--Sazae-san
Another one of Japan's anime institutions, starring a "traditional" wife and her family. For those wondering, other institutions include Crayon Shin-chan (though maybe not for much longer), Doraemon, Dectective Conan, and arguably Pokemon and One Piece. (:30)
7:00, TBS--New Face vs. Hero-Who will achieve total victory? Sasuke Fall 2009.
You should know the drill by now. If not, everyone else will be happy to tell you. (3:54)
Anyone who wants to add something from the world of foreign television can do so below.

Shows relaxing.. commercials the complete opposite!! I've watched enough of it and that lead to seeing people seen on Sasuke on a different show. The dudes with wine glasses that laughed a lot seen in 21 appeared on something else where.
