Dec. 26: Swanni's 10 Hottest Shows In HDTV!

By Swanni

Washington, D.C. (December 26, 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 26, 2008: (All times Eastern -- and don't forget the link below to today's 'HD Hottie -- in fact, today there are four of them!

1. The Dark Knight
Christian Bale stars as the Caped Crusader in what it says here was the best film of 2008. Thanks to non-stop action scenes directed flawlessly by Chris Nolan and a tremendous supporting cast of Michael Caine, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Gary Oldman and the late Heath Ledger in his final role as The Joker, The Dark Knight is as good as it gets. If you haven't seen -- or even it you have -- see it -- today! And if you're an Academy voter, vote for it -- today!

2. NBA Basketball
Bulls vs. the Heat.
ESPN, 5 p.m.

3. College Football
Central Michigan vs. Florida Atlantic in the Motor City Bowl.
ESPN, 7:30 p.m.

4. Ghost Whisperer (repeat)
Program descript: "Melinda (Jennifer Love Hewitt) helps a ghost who believes he's Santa Claus." Well, first of all, Melinda dear, he's a day late! That just might be a clue!
See our 'HD Hottie' profile of Jennifer Love Hewitt.
CBS, 8 p.m.

5. WWE Friday Night Smackdown!
Program descript: "Triple H continues to stalk Vladimir Kozlov." Yeah, but I bet he can't pronounce his name.
My Network, 8 p.m.

6. 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.

Tonight, M-1 action with Holland vs. Russia. Holland vs. Russia? Isn't that like putting a cat against a pit bull?
