Saturday: Swanni's 10 Hottest Shows In HDTV!

By Swanni

Washington, D.C. (February 6, 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, February 6, 2010. (All times Eastern -- and don't forget the link below to today's 'HD Hottie -- in fact, today there are 6 of them.)

1. College Basketball Quadruple-header
Xavier at Dayton, followed by Kansas State at Iowa State, followed by Gonzaga at Memphis, followed by Southern Illinois at Northern Iowa, followed by some sleep, I suspect. No, wait a minute. There's one more: followed by Wright State at Butler. There are five games...and counting. Oh, no, I just found another one. Tulsa at Texas El-Paso at 10 p.m. There are six games in a row!
ESPN 2, Noon.

2. College Basketball Quadruple-header
Villanova at Georgetown, followed by Duke at Boston College, followed by Texas at Oklahoma, followed by South Carolina at Tennessee.
ESPN, Noon.

Bonus Pick:
NASCAR Racing
Daytona 500 qualifying race.
Fox, 1 p.m.
3. PGA Golf
 The third round of the Northern Trust Open from beautiful Pacific Palisades, California.
 CBS, 3 p.m.

4. College Basketball
Wisconsin at Michigan.
CBS, 4 p.m.

 5. The Da Vinci Code
 Tom Hanks stars in this convoluted but often interesting take on Dan Brown's book about Jesus being married and having kids. Married with kids on a carpenter's salary? Talk about your miracles!
TNT, 8 p.m.

6. NASCAR Racing
The Budweiser Shootout, the official opening of the Sprint Cup Series from Daytona, Fla. (By the way, is anyone concerned that a high-speed car race carries the name Budweiser. Oh, well...) Danica Patrick is expected to compete in the NASCAR ARCA series tonight on the Speed channel at 11 p.m.. So, with that in mind...
See our 'HD Hottie' profile of Danica Patrick!
Budweiser Shootout on Fox at 8 p.m. Danica and ARCA on  Speed at 11 p.m.

 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.
See our 'HD Hottie' profile of Kate Beckinsale.
HDNet Movies, 8 p.m.

Powder Blue
Jessica Biel stars as a stripper (okay, again, no need to go further?; that's enough for you? Well, there is more...) who struggles to make ends meet while caring for a dying child. The film, which went straight to DVD and Blu-ray, is a bleak but often interesting look at people who seemed destined to get the short end of the stick. The strong ensemble cast also includes Ray Liotta as Biel's redemption-seeking Dad and Forest Whitaker as a former minister who wants only to die with dignity.
See our 'HD Hottie' profile of Jessica Biel.
Showtime Showcase, 8 p.m.
7. Paul Blart: Mall Cop
Kevin James finally gets his breakout role as a pretentious but lovable security guard in a shopping mall. The movie is dumb, silly and devoid of social meaning -- but it's funny as hell. If you need a good laugh on a Saturday night, don't miss it.
Starz, 9 p.m.
8. College Basketball
Yes, more basketball. More! Michigan State takes on Illinois.
ESPN 9 p.m.

Bonus Pick:
The Wrestler
Mickey Rourke is eerily dead-on as a washed-up, alcoholic professional wrestler whose life is a series of body slams in and out of the ring. Marisa Tomei plays his obligatory hot "girlfriend" -- as well as being a stripper with a heart of gold. Evan Rachel Wood (Thirteen, Across the Universe) breaks hearts as Rourke's alienated daughter. Great movie!
See our 'HD Hottie' profile of Evan Rachel Wood.
See our 'HD Hottie' profile of Marisa Tomei.
MoMax, 9 P.M.

9. Jennifer's Body
Megan Fox stars as a bisexual, body-devouring evil spirit whose sexual magnetism wreaks havoc on everyone who comes across her path. In other words, she plays herself.
See our 'HD Hottie' profile of Megan Fox.
Cable and satellite HD VOD, various times.

10. Saturday Night Live (new)
Ashton Kutcher hosts (and hawks his new film, Valentine's Day) while Them Crooked Vultures will deliver a musical interlude or two.
 NBC, 11:35 p.m.
