Washington, D.C. (July 28, 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 Wednesday, July 28, 2010: (All times Eastern -- and don't forget the link below to today's 'HD Hottie -- in fact, today there are 5 of them!

Bonus Pick:
The Book of Eli
Denzel Washington stars as a lone warrior in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Think Mad Max, Denzel style. Mila Kunis plays an obligatory hot rebel who turns against the obligatory evil town sheriff (Gary Oldman).
See our 'HD Hottie' profile of Mila Kunis.
HD VOD, all day.

1. Public Enemies
Johnny Depp shines in this fast-paced Michael Mann film loosely based on the life of 1930s bank robber John Dillinger. (And we do mean loosely.) While Mann escapes from the facts more often than Dillinger escaped from prison, the movie is undeniably entertaining and the French actress Marion Cotillard makes for an alluring and obligatory hot Dillinger girlfriend. Christian Bale is also good as G-Man Melvin Purvis, although Mann super-inflates Purvis' role (and competence) in the Dillinger investigation.
HBO Signature, 6:30 p.m.

2. MLB Baseball
St. Louis Cardinals at the New York Mets.
ESPN, 7 p.m.
