November 16: Swanni's 10 Hottest Shows In HDTV!

By Swanni

Washington, D.C. (November 16, 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 Monday, November 16, 2009: (All times Eastern -- and don't forget the link below to today's 'HD Hottie -- in fact, today there are 9 of them!

1. 21
Jim Sturgess stars as a brilliant MIT student who's lured into joining a card-counting scheme in Las Vegas. Kevin Spacey plays the ring's mastermind while Kate Bosworth is Sturgess' obligatory hot girlfriend. Based on a real life story, the film crackles with tension due to strong performances from Sturgess (think of a young Dustin Hoffman) and the always interesting (albeit hammy) Spacey.
See our 'HD Hottie' profile of Kate Bosworth.
Starz, 5:10 p.m.

2. Heroes (new)
America's favorite (albeit quirky) super heroes are back! Tonight program descript: "Tracy (Ali Larter, pictured) starts to lose control of her ability." What, to attract every red blooded American male under the age of 90? Oh, not that ability; her Heroes' ability.

3. Dancing With the Stars (new)
America's favorite dancing soap opera continues with a B celebrity lineup overflowing with has-beens and wanna-bes. Michael Irvin, Kathy Ireland, Tom 'The Hammer' Delay, Aaron Carter (who?) Natalie Coughlin, Debi Mazur, Chuck Liddell, Melissa Joan Hart, Louie Vito (who?) and Ashley Hamilton (George's feminine-sounding son) have gotten the boot, but tonight the remaining 4 contestants (Mya, Donny Osmond, Joanna Krupa and Kelly Osborne.) will dance-off. Oh, the humanity!
See our 'HD Hottie' profile of Joanna Krupa.

4. NFL Football
The Ravens take on the Broncos.
ESPN, 8:30 p.m.

5. House (new)
Tonight's program descript says Dr. House will treat a adult film star for 'pulsating eye pain." Folks, the jokes that are running in my head right now...well, I'll keep them there for now. By the way, couldn't be sweeps month, could it?
