October 2: Swanni's 10 Hottest Shows In HDTV!

By Swanni

Washington, D.C. (October 2, 2009) -- 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, October 2, 2009: (All times Eastern -- and don't forget the link below to today's 'HD Hottie -- in fact, today there are 6 of them!

1. MLB Baseball
Game to be selected based on possible playoff impact.
ESPN, 7 p.m.

2. College Football
Pittsburgh at Louisville.
ESPN 2, 8 p.m.


3. M1 Affliction Challenge
The title sounds like a documentary on trying to cure someone afflicted with the swine flu, but it's actually Mixed Martial Arts action with Team Germany vs. World Team, or, in other words, a rematch of World War II.
HDNet, 8 p.m.



4
. Ghost Whisperer (new)
Jennifer Love Hewitt, America's favorite big-breasted, ghost-gabbin' gal, tonight investigates a mysterious e-mail blast. Hmm, could it be that SwanniSez thing?
See our 'HD Hottie' profile of Jennifer Love Hewitt.
CBS, 8 p.m.
 

5. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
Johnny Depp is back as Capt. Jack Sparrow in this third in the swashbuckling trilogy. While this effort falls short of the first two farces, Depp's charm and flawless slapstick still delivers the funny. And Keira Knightley still delivers the hottie as the damsel in distress.

See our 'HD Hottie' profile of Keira Knightley.

USA Network, 8 p.m.

6. Dollhouse (new)
Eliza Dushku stars as Echo, an 'off-the-grid' operative who takes on a different identity each week. Tonight, Echo is imprinted (computer talk for virtual simulation) as the mother of a new born baby. Knowing Fox, they will show more scenes involving how Echo would get preggers rather than the actual bouncing baby.
See our 'HD Hottie' profile of Eliza Dushku.
Fox, 9 p.m.

7. The Jay Leno Show (new)
Tonight, Jay chats up The Office's Jenna Fischer. You know you need a new agent when your show's title has to come before your name so people will know who you are. (Oh, you still don't know who she is?; Jenna plays Pam in the series.)
NBC, 10 p.m.

Bonus Pick:
The Incredible Hulk
Edward Norton stars in a cerebral edition of the Hulk (except, of course, when he gets angry; you won't like him when he gets  angry.). Liv Tyler comes along for the ride as his obligatory hot lab assistant and love interest. William Hurt and a very short Tim Roth chew the scenery as Tyler's general/Dad and a wacko military officer respectively. A diverting two hours with some appropriately cheesy CGI effects.
See our 'HD Hottie' profile of Liv Tyler.

Cinemax, 10 p.m.


8. Real Time With Bill Maher (new)
The pasty-faced pundit bats around the day's hottest issues with the liberal, spec-wearing
Janeane Garofalo and the mustachioed New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman among other wonks.
HBO, 10 p.m.

Bonus Pick:
We Own the Night
Mark Wahlberg and Joaquin Phoenix star as Cain and Abel brothers who join forces when their cop father is endangered by a drug gang. Eva Mendes plays Phoenix's obligatory hot girlfriend while veteran actor Robert Duvall is as comfortable as an old shoe as their police captain Dad. (He kinda' looks like an old shoe these days, too, but that's another story...)
See our 'HD Hottie' profile of Eva Mendes.
Starz, 11 p.m.

9. The Tonight Show With Conan O'Brien (new)
Tonight's guests include Joshua Bell. Who? No wonder Conan's ratings are tanking.
NBC, 11:35 p.m.

10. Late Show With David Letterman (new)
Tonight's guests include the great Larry David and HD Hottie Olivia Wilde.
See our 'HD Hottie' profile of Olivia Wilde.
CBS, 11:35 p.m.
