Dec. 22: Swanni's 10 Hottest Shows In HDTV!

By Swanni

Washington, D.C. (December 22, 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 Monday, December 22, 2008: (All times Eastern -- and don't forget the link below to today's 'HD Hottie -- in fact, today there are seven of them!

1. Transformers
Shai LaBeouf and Megan Fox star in this Michael Bay-directed CGI spectacular about two races of robots who decide to battle it out to the death. No, not the Democrats and Republicans; not those robots; the metallic kind. Although the movie is aimed at the teen set, it's fun for the entire family -- and it propelled the career of Ms. Fox, which is no small achievement.
