But which shows should you watch?
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.
But now I have compiled the 30 hottest shows for the entire weekend -- Friday, Saturday and Sunday. And it's a great weekend, high-def owners. More sports, movies, comedies and dramas that you can imagine.
So here are the 30 Hottest Shows in HDTV for the weekend of December 28-30, starting with Friday. (All times Eastern; and smart remarks are the opinion of the author only.)
