October 31: Swanni's 10 Hottest Shows In HDTV!

By Swanni

Washington, D.C. (October 31, 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 Saturday, October 31, 2009: (All times Eastern -- and don't forget the link below to today's 'HD Hottie -- in fact, today there are 4 of them.

 1. College Football
 Purdue at Wisconsin.
 ESPN 2, Noon.

 2. College Football
Indiana at Iowa.
ESPN, Noon.

 3. Mission Impossible III
Tom Cruise stars in the third in the trilogy based on the 1960s TV series about a group of master spies. Directed by J. J. Abrams, the creator of ABC's Lost. Michelle Monaghan plays Cruise's obligatory hot wife while Keri Russell plays an obligatory hot IMF agent taken hostage by the bad guys. Fun film with strong supporting performances from Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jonathan Rhys Meyers (The Tudors), Ving Rhames and the exotic beauty Maggie Q.

 Bonus Picks:
 The Dark Knight
Christian Bale stars as the Caped Crusader in 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 next-to-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 -- tonight!
See our 'HD Hottie' profile of Maggie Gyllenhaal.
Cinemax, 7:15 p.m.

The House Bunny
Anna Faris stars as an ex-Playboy bunny who tries to teach a bunch of sorority sisters about makeup and men. Predictable plot is lifted by the charm and surprisingly good comedic timing of Ms. Faris.
See our 'HD Hottie' profile of Anna Faris.
Starz 7:15 p.m.

MLB Baseball World Series
Angels at Yanks in game three.
Fox, 7:30 p.m.

6. College Football
Notre Dame at Washington State.
NBC, 7:30 p.m.

7. College Football
South Carolina at Tennessee.
ESPN, 7:45 p.m.

8. College Football
Texas at Oklahoma State.
ABC, 8 p.m.

9. There Will Be Blood
Daniel Day-Lewis is brilliant as a self-made oil tycoon in the early 1900s who loses his moral compass when gobs of money comes his way. Despite the lead's hypnotic performance, I found the movie to be overlong and often repetitive. But it did lead to eight Oscar nominations -- and countless headline parodies based on its title.
Showtime Extreme, 10 p.m.

10. Saturday Night Live (repeat)
Ryan Reynolds hosts in this encore performance while Lady Gaga will deliver a musical interlude or two.
NBC, 11:35 p.m.
