Shows In HDTV!
By Swanni
Washington, D.C. (December 20,
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 Saturday, December 20, 2008: (All times Eastern -- and
don't forget the link below to today's 'HD Hottie -- in fact,
it's an HD Hottie Classic!)
Bonus Pick:
Taming of the Shrew
What did Elizabeth Taylor look like in her glory days? Tune in
to this remasted edition of the 1967 film based on the
Shakespeare play and find out. In crystal-clear high-def, you'll
be transported back to a time when Liz and Dick (Richard Burton)
ruled the cinematic world.
See our 'HD Hottie Classic' profile of
Elizabeth Taylor.

6. Chinatown
Jack Nicholson is brilliant as the cynical private investigator Jake Gittes who gets caught up in a web of corruption in 1930s Los Angeles. Faye Dunaway plays his obligatory hot girlfriend/Achilles Heel and John Huston delivers a memorable performance as her father. Directed by Roman Polanski who also has a wicked turn as a knife-wielding thug.
HDNet Movies, 5:45 p.m.
7. College Basketball
Syracuse at Memphis.
ESPN, 6 p.m.
8. The Bucket List
Another flick from Jack with Nicholson teaming with the flawless Morgan Freeman as two cancer patients who decide to go out with style.

9. Crusoe (new)
Crusoe travels to the New World in hope of getting out of debt. Let's hope this is not a 2008 version of the Defoe novel. If so, old Crusoe better set a meeting ASAP with Hank Paulson. Tonight, Friday has a flashback to his childhood while Crusoe tests his survival skills.
J.J.Abrams, you might want to keep an eye on this show; or at least tell your copyright lawyers to tune in. The show is Lost, minus Evangeline Lily in form-fitting outfits.
NBC, 8 p.m.
10. Saturday Night Live
(repeat)
Josh Brolin hosts in this encore performance. Gov. Sarah Palin (remember her?) makes a cameo appearance.
