Jan 5: What's on HDTV today

What we're watching:

It's a very very good night for HD, unless you're into sports, but seriously, I don't know if I'm recovered from THE VINCE YOUNG SPECTACULAR I witnessed last night, great great game. Tonight I'll be checking for the debut of NBC's new Thursday night "Must-see TV" lineup, mixing our favorite HD show, My Name is Earl, with The Office, Will & Grace, and the debut of Four Kings, all in HD (but Scrubs isn't, Lord, why hast thou forsaken me?)

If you can possibly bring yourself to watch more sports action, after a triple-double last night against the Bucks, Lebron &Co. are back in action against the Rockets on TNT at 8 .

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