Dec. 27: What's on HDTV today

What we're watching:

Nothing new on primetime, but you can catch up on some good high-def episodes if you missed them the first time around. Catch a high-def Easter Egg on "My Name is Earl" at 9 p.m if you didn't see it last month. The 1080i broadcast is on NBC and is the episode where Earl's father (Beau Bridges) runs for Mayor.

If you can't be bothered looking for Easter Eggs, maybe the guest stars on "Boston Legal" will get you all hot and bothered. A two-hour repeat episode kicks off at 9 p.m. on ABC in 720p. Tune it to catch Heather Locklear and Rupert Everett in this rebroadcast. If you absolutely must have something new-ish to watch, we're recommending HDNet's "World Report: Best of 2005". Ok, that's really a summary of repeats, but it should still be excellent. Tune in at 8 p.m. for the three-hour episode in 1080i.

After the jump is our traditional listing of HD programs throughout the night.
