Jan 10: What's on HDTV today

What we're watching:

Many shows kick off the second half of their season with new eps tonight. I've been waiting for Boston Legal's next round for the past several months, even though I don't typically watch it. Why will I tune in to ABC at 10 p.m. tonight for the 720p presentation? Michael J. Fox. He's back for four episodes starting tonight and you have to give him credit for fighting the good fight. Here's to you Michael: you're our high-def pick for the day; we wish you all the best.

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