Saturday: Swanni's 10 Hottest Shows In HDTV!

By Swanni

Washington, D.C. (March 13, 2010) -- 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, March 13, 2010. (All times Eastern -- and don't forget the link below to today's 'HD Hottie -- in fact, today there are 3 of them.)

1. College Basketball
SEC semifinals. Teams TBA.
ABC, 1 p.m.

 2. College Basketball
ACC semifinals. Teams TBA.
ESPN, 1:30 p.m.
3. College Basketball
 Big Ten semifinals. Teams TBA.
 CBS, 1:40 p.m.

Bonus Picks:
 The Express
 Rob Brown stars as the ill-fated running back Ernie Davis who died of leukemia shortly after being drafted by the Cleveland Browns in 1962. The film also chronicles Davis' struggle with racism in 1950s America, a road well traveled in cinematic history. But the feel-good spirit of the story and Dennis Quaid's solid performance as Davis' college coach makes The Express well worth staying up late Monday night.
Cinemax, 2 p.m.

 Sugar
 Unknown Algenis Perez Soto shines as a young Dominican baseball pitcher who longs to make it big in the U.S. Excellent docudrama about the plight of foreign baseball players who struggle to cope in a new land.
HBO 2, 2:30 p.m.
4. College Basketball
 PAC Ten tournament final
CBS, 6 p.m.
5. College Basketball
Big Ten tournament final. Teams TBA.
ESPN, 6 p.m.

6. Obsessed
Idris Elba (Stringer Bell from The Wire) stars as a smooth corporate executive and family man whose life spins out of control when a beautiful office temp turns into a temptress. Al Larter (Heroes) plays the obligatory hot temp while Beyonce Knowles also stars as Elba's obligatory hot wife. The film is as predictable as it gets, but the eye candy is sweet and the final 'cat fight' between Larter and Knowles is worthy of the WWE.

Starz Edge, 6 p.m.


 7. College Basketball
Big West tournament final.
ESPN 2, 8 p.m.
8. College Basketball
Yes, more basketball. More! Big East Tournament Final.
ESPN, 9 p.m.

9. Taken
Liam Neeson stars as an ex-government operative who's forced back into the field when his daughter is kidnapped in Paris. Maggie Grace plays the obligatory hot daughter while Famke Janssen is almost unrecognizable as Liam's bitchy ex-wife. Despite Neeson's advancing years (he's 57 now), his early days as an amateur boxer serves him well here and the action is fast paced. Good movie.

Cinemax, 10 p.m.
10. Saturday Night Live (new)
Jude Law hosts while Pearl Jam will deliver a musical interlude or two.
NBC, 11:35 p.m.
