Dec. 5: Swanni's 10 Hottest Shows In HDTV!

By Swanni

Washington, D.C. (December 5, 2008) -- High-Definition TVs are now in more than 30 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, December 5, 2008: (All times Eastern -- and don't forget the link below to today's 'HD Hottie -- in fact, today there are three of them!

1. We Are Marshall
Matthew McConaughey stars as the coach of the Marshall University football team which had to rebuild after a tragic plane crash that killed most of the squad. McConaughey restrains himself for a change and Matthew Fox turns in a solid supporting performance as an assistant coach. Based on the real life story, the film delivers the emotional goods. January Jones and Kate Mara (granddaughter of the New York Giants owner) play the obligatory hot wife and girlfriend/cheerleader respectively.

4. Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Jim Carrey chews the scenery into tiny bits as the semi-loveable Christmas curmudgeon. Anthony Hopkins picks up another check as the film's narrator. Frothy fun for all.
ABC, 8 p.m.

5. College Football
Ball State vs. Buffalo in the Marathon MAC Championship game from Detroit. Actually, I wouldn't suggest a marathon of any kind in Detroit; a quick sprint might be safer, if you read those 'Safest Cities' reports.
ESPN 2, 8 p.m.

6. Lipstick Jungle (new)
Now that NBC has given Lipstick Jungle the kiss-off, the show can tie up some loose ends; and some of the actresses certainly have them; come on, sweeties, invest in a bottle of conditioner. Anyway, tonight, Victory tires to land a new client while Wendy struggles yet again.
