November 20: Swanni's 10 Hottest Shows In HDTV!

By Swanni

Washington, D.C. (November 20, 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 20, 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. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
 Director Michael Bay stuffed this sequel with even more CGI effects than the first Transformers. But Shia LeBeouf and Megan Fox (talk about a special effect) make for a winning pair as they try to save the Earth from the creepy metallic monsters. Fun for the entire family, albeit dumb fun.
 See our 'HD Hottie' profile of Megan Fox.
Cable and satellite HD VOD, various times.
2. NBA Doubleheader
Orlando at Boston in game one; Nuggets at Clippers in game two ESPN, 8 p.m.

3. Wanted
James McAvoy stars as a faceless bureaucrat who suddenly is transformed into a magical, bullet-curving assassin after being hijacked by Angelina Jolie. (Look out, Brad Pitt, she'll do it to you next.) The sci-fi drama is filled with great action scenes and McAvoy, Jolie and Morgan Freeman (as an obligatory wise, albeit mysterious, executive) make for a great cast. Fun movie.
See our 'HD Hottie' profile of Angelina Jolie.
HBO, 8 p.m.

4. Ghost Whisperer (new)
Jennifer Love Hewitt, America's favorite big-breasted, ghost-gabbin' gal, tonight investigates why a young female ghost has befriended her son.
 See our 'HD Hottie' profile of Jennifer Love Hewitt.
CBS, 8 p.m.

 5. Medium (new)
Tonight's program descript: "Allison's eyes develop a sensitivity to the light." Hmm, maybe that's why GE-owned NBC dropped the show; get it? The company that makes light bulbs...Okay, I'll admit. It's a reach.
CBS, 9 p.m.

7. UFL Football

Bonus Picks:
Shooter
Mark Wahlberg stars as a military sniper who's set up as a patsy for a political assassination. Perfect for the Kennedy conspiracy set, the film is a bit predictable but still delivers plenty of action. Kate Mara plays the obligatory hot, albeit implausible, girlfriend.

TNT, 9 p.m.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Jason Segel shines in this funny albeit frothy farce about a musician whose dream vacation in Hawaii goes wrong when he runs into his ex-girlfriend and her new lover. Kristen Bell plays the obligatory hot ex while Mila Kunis (That's 70s Show) plays the obligatory hot new love interest. Russell Brand and Bill Hader deliver the funny in support.
