Washington, D.C. (May 11, 2012) -- High-Definition TVs are now in more than 50 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, May 11, 2012. (All times Eastern -- and don't forget the link below to today's 'HD Hottie -- in fact, today there are 10 of them!)

1. Underworld
Kate Beckinsale plays a leather-clad, pistol-packin' vampire whose mission in life (or, shall we say, the afterlife) is to rid the world of werewolves. Oh, what's that? I had you at "Kate Beckinsale plays a leather-clad..."? Well never mind on the rest of the stuff. Good movie, by the way.

Action Max, 6 p.m.

Based on two movies -- the awesome French original (La Femme Nikita) and the 'okay' U.S. remake (Point of No Return), the exotic beauty Maggie Q stars as the obligatory hot assassin Nikita who seeks revenge against her former handlers. Tonight's program descript says Percy threatens to explode a nuclear weapon. Hear that CW execs?

6. Fringe (new)

Fox, 9 p.m.

7. Grimm (New)
No, it's not a fairy tale show. Well, sort of. Grimm features a detective who can detect whether a person is a mythical creature just by looking at him. Big deal. I used to be able to do that bar hopping on Saturday night in Santa Monica. Tonight's program descript: "Hank sees something inexplicable." Happened all the time in Santa Monica.
NBC, 9 p.m.

8. Blue Bloods (new)
Season finale. Tom Selleck stars as the head of a family of New York police officers. Donnie Wahlberg, brother to Mark, Bridget Moynahan and Will Estes play the cop kids. Tonight's program descript says Dannny (Donnie) and Jamie's conflict comes to a head.
See our 'HD Hottie' profile of Bridget Moynahan.
CBS, 10 p.m.

9. Magic City (new)
Starz moves a bit from its usual A.D. setting for this new series about the torrid times in late 1950s Miami Beach. Jeffrey Dean Morgan plays a hotelier with a sleazy past (are there any other kind) while the obligatory hot Olga Kurylenko serves up the eye candy as his wife. Of course, it wouldn't be a premium channel drama unless there was more than the eye can see so expect plenty of Mob involvement and ruthless businessmen. (Hey, what's the difference there?) Tonight, Ike and Ben Diamond bet heavily on a boxing match.

Starz, 10 p.m.
