Jan. 29: Swanni's 10 Hottest Shows In HDTV!

By Swanni

Washington, D.C. (January 29, 2010) -- High-Definition TVs are now in more than 40 million U.S. homes and there are scores of high-def programming choices.

But which shows should you watch? And why?

Every day here at TVPredictions.com, I scan the HD programming aisles and serve up 10 programs so good -- so hot! -- that you can't miss them. Sports, movies, primetime comedies and drama -- they're all there and in beautiful high-def.

We call this list, "The Hottest Shows in HDTV!" And here they are for Friday, January 29, 2010: (All times Eastern -- and don't forget the link below to today's 'HD Hottie -- in fact, today there are 7 of them!

1. Winter X Games
Lots of loop-de-loop in the snowy climes of Aspen, Colorado.
ESPN, 7 p.m.

2. Dollhouse (new)
Series finale. Eliza Dushku stars as Echo, an 'off-the-grid' operative who takes on a different identity each week. Tonight, alas, the Echoes come to an end as Fox pulls the plug on the ratings-starved series. However, before they walk into the sunset, Echo and her remaining dolls will try to stop an apocalypse. Now!
See our 'HD Hottie' profile of Eliza Dushku.

Fox, 8 p.m.

3. Ghost Whisperer (new)
Jennifer Love Hewitt, America's favorite big-breasted, ghost-gabbin' gal, tonight investigates a secret force that has killed -- and will kill again. Sure, it's the Fox executives who oversee shows like Dollhouse.

CBS, 8 p.m.

4. Smallville (new)
Season debut. Well, some things must come to an end, but as they say, another door will open. Tonight, Clark and his alter ego must battle the dangerous Dark Archer in the season debut of Smallville.
CW, 8 p.m.

5. Watchmen
Based on the D.C. Comics' graphic novel, Watchmen mixes satire with eye-popping visuals and delivers a thrill-a-minute adventure for young and old. The plot focuses on a masked vigilante who tries to discover why comic book-style Super Heroes are being killed off. It may sound like a teen feast, but director Zack Snyder is up to more than that. The film cleverly examines meaty issues such as terrorism, rule of law, hero worship and narcissism in the guise of a sci-fi fantasy film. Malin Akerman is breathtaking as an obligatory hot female Super Hero while Billy Crudup, Jackie Earle Haley, Carla Gugino, Patrick Wilson also shine in a strong ensemble cast. Great movie!

HBO, 9 p.m.

6. Caprica (new)
Amanda makes a shocking confession. Meanwhile, Joseph confronts Daniel.
Syfy, 9 p.m.

7. The International
Clive Owen and Naomi Watts star as two federal investigators who uncover some sleazy activities by a bank conglomerate. Besides the obvious joke -- a bank is involved in sleazy activities?; surely you jest -- the film delivers some fun action scenes and tense moments. Not a great film, but well worth your time.
See our 'HD Hottie' profile of Naomi Watts.
