June 4: Swanni's 10 Hottest Shows In HDTV!

By Swanni

Washington, D.C. (June 4, 2009) -- 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 Thursday, June 4, 2009: (All times Eastern -- and don't forget the link below to today's 'HD Hottie -- in fact, today there are 5 of them!

1. 88 Minutes
Al Pacino stars as a police psychiatrist who's targeted by a serial killer. The critics trashed this film, but judge for yourself. Alicia Witt and Leelee Sobieski plays obligatory hot sidekicks so it can't be all bad. (Al Pacino's hair plays itself in a supporting role.)
See our 'HD Hottie' profile of Alicia Witt.
Starz, 7:05 p.m.

2. MLS Soccer
The always energetic Red Bull New York take on D.C. United.
ESPN 2, 7:30 p.m.

3. Jimmy Kimmel Live (new)
The chunky, smirky late night host gets a rare primetime gig, albeit for 30 minutes. His guests include the rapper Eminem who was last seen between the left and right buttocks of comedian Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat) at the MTV Movie Awards. If you don't know what I'm talking about, don't ask...
ABC, 8 p.m.

Bonus Pick:
Stanley Cup
Detroit at Pittsburgh in game four.
Versus, 8 p.m.

4. Night at the Museum
Ben Stiller stars as a night watchman in a history museum
where the exhibits magically come to life. Frothy but fun with Stiller sidekick Owen Wilson on board as a miniature cowboy. Carla Gugino plays Ben's obligatory hot love interest.
See our 'HD Hottie' profile of Carla Gugino.
FX, 8 p.m.

5. Get Out! (new)

7. Burn Notice
Season debut. Program descript: "Michael gets out of prison with help from an old friend, who wants Michael to extradite a thug who is displacing landowners in Latin America." There are still landowners in Latin America?

8. 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 Marisa Tomei.
