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.

Bonus Picks:
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.

Black Swan
Natalie Portman shines in her Oscar winning role as the ballet dancer with demons in this psychological masterpiece directed by Darren Aronofsky. (The Wrestler). Mila Kunis plays Nat's obligatory hot rival (and fantasy lesbian love mate -- or is it real?). Vincent Cassel is also superb as the troupe's tyrannical taskmaster (how's that for alliteration!) It's a great film that will keep you guessing - and sometimes reaching for the Lorazepam -- until the end.
