Oct 16: What's on HDTV today

By Kevin C. Tofel


What we're watching: A little drama and action are on tap this evening. First up, we all find out who the "leak" is on "The West Wing" at 8 p.m. on NBC in 1080i. Big hint here: it isn't me. At 9 p.m., I'm switching over to CBS
for some Chuck Norris. Chuck is back as Cordell Walker in a two-hour television special called "Walker, Texas Ranger: Trial By Fire" in 1080i. Sure, there's plenty of other high-def to watch, but Chuck still has a few good action moves left in him!

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