November 1: Swanni's 10 Hottest Shows In HDTV!

By Swanni

Washington, D.C. (November 1, 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 Sunday, November 1, 2009: (All times Eastern -- and don't forget the link below to today's 'HD Hottie -- in fact, today there are 5 of them!

CBS, Fox, 1 p.m.

3. Running

Bonus Pick:
Catch Me If You Can
Steven Spielberg directed this real life tale of a master check forger (Leonardo DiCaprio) who's pursued around the world by a special agent played by Tom Hanks. Fun flick. Jennifer Garner plays an obligatory hot hooker while Amy Adams is unrecognizable as a hospital nurse wooed and won by the con man.
See our 'HD Hottie' profile of Jennifer Garner.
See our 'HD Hottie' profile of Amy Adams.
TNT, 7 p.m.


6. College Football

Marshall ("We are Marshall!") vs. Central Florida.
ESPN, 7:15 p.m.

7
. MLB Baseball World Series
Yanks at Phillies in game four.  Sabathia vs Blanton.
Fox, 8 p.m.

8. Curb Your Enthusiasm (new)
Seinfeld co-creator Larry David is back with new episodes featuring his one-man rant against societal correctness-- and they're pretty, pretty, pretty funny, if you ask me. Tonight, Larry has some back luck on the golf course.
See our 'HD Hottie' profile of Cheryl Hines, who plays Larry's wife, or ex-wife.
HBO, 9 p.m.

Bonus Pick:
Desperate Housewives (new)
Program descript: "Gaby (Evan Longoria)
gets Juanita kicked out of school." Last week, she tried to prove she's a responsible parent. Doesn't look like the campaign is going over.
See our 'HD Hottie' profile of Eva Longoria.
ABC, 9 p.m.

9. Dexter (new)
America's favorite serial killer is back -- and he's hungry for more. Tonight, Dexter tries to stay ahead of Trinity Killer while an expected source gives old Dex and the misses some marital advice.

10. Mad Men
(new)
The wild and crazy Madison Avenue executives of the early 1960s are back, smoking, drinking and balling just like old times. Tonight's program descript: "Peggy second-guesses her choice in men (about time!) and Don meets a candidate." What, a candidate for yet another tryst!?
See our 'HD Hottie' profile of January Jones.
AMC, 10 p.m. (Except not on DIRECTV, which apparently has a stick up its ass about carrying AMC in high-def.)
