November 13: Swanni's 10 Hottest Shows In HDTV!

By Swanni

Washington, D.C. (November 13, 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, November 13, 2009: (All times Eastern -- and don't forget the link below to today's 'HD Hottie -- in fact, today there are 7 of them!

Bonus Picks:
 Lara Croft: Tomb Raider
Angelina Jolie stars as a skin-tight leather-wearing adventurer who must find Pandora's Box before a mad scientist can use it to rule the world. (If you ask me, Jolie could rule the world with the outfits she wears in the film.) Jolie shines in this fun romp and 300's Gerard Butler carries his weight as her male thorn in the side.
See our 'HD Hottie' profile of Angelina Jolie.
Showtime 2, 5:30 p.m.

 Definitely, Maybe
Ryan Reynolds (Mr. Scarlett Johansson) stars in a frothy but funny farce about a Dad who reveals to his young daughter why he proposed to his soon-to-be ex-wife. Isla Fisher, Elizabeth Banks and Rachel Weisz play the three obligatory hot girlfriends, each of whom could be the soon-to-be ex-wife.
 See our 'HD Hottie' profile of Isla Fisher.

 1. NBA Doubleheader
Atlanta at Boston in game one; Lakers at Nuggets in game two (Kobe, stay away from the hotel concierge, please.)

2. M1 Affliction Challenge
 The title sounds like a documentary on trying to cure the swine flu, but it's actually a highlight show featuring the year's top 20 knockouts in Mixed Martial Arts.
HDNet, 8 p.m.
3. College Football
 West Virginia at Cincinnati.
 See our 'HD Hottie' profile of Erin Andrews.
 ESPN 2, 8 p.m.

 6. Monk
The anal-retentive tries to save the wedding of someone close to him by finding out who's sabotaging it. Hmm, does he know Ross Perot?
USA Network, 9 p.m.

7. Frost/Nixon
Michael Sheen and Frank Langella both shine respectively in the title roles in Ron Howard's theatrical adaptation based on the Broadway play inspired by the famous David Frost/Richard Nixon TV interviews in 1977. Fun film, particularly if you're old enough to remember the original source material.

Hancock
Will Smith stars as a cranky super hero who seems more interested in getting drunk than saving lives until PR whiz Jason Bateman whips him into shape. The movie offers some fun action and insightful satire until a late plot twist involving Charlize Theron either ruins it for you or makes it better. You be the judge.
