ABC's The View going high-def September 5

One of the two TV shows needed to bring women to high definition is now going 720p. The View will switch to HDTV format September 5 as they add new host Rosie O'Donnell. While Oprah is still in SD, ABC also broadcasts Good Morning America in high def. Jessica Simpson will be a special guest on the episode, in case you needed a better reason to get up before noon other than seeing Barbara Walters (but not Star Jones) in 720 stunning vertical lines of resolution. With MHD, Food Network and now daytime television following primetime programming to HDTVs, the day when your mother/daughter/sister calls you to ask "What do you think about LCD vs. plasma TVs?" draws that much closer.

HDTV Listings for April 12, 2006

Veronica MarsWhat we're watching: You know we're watching Lost, why even ask? King James and his band of merry men take on the Detroit Pistons at 8 p.m., unfortunately ESPN left their SkyCams at home.

We don't usually watch Veronica Mars, but TVSquad says this is a great episode for new viewers to jump into the series on. Maybe its worth a shot at 8 p.m. on UPN as they replay last night's episode.We need a new Wednesday night fix since (after tonight) Lost is all repeats until May.

Our traditional high-def listings continue below.

HDTV: The plane that most Lost viewers never saw

Lost plane in Lost
Our peeps over at TV Squad alerted us to something that the SD viewers of "Lost" didn't see this week. In a dream sequence that Charlie has, there is a plane crashing on the left side of the screen; it takes a 16:9 screen to see it, so you 4:3 viewers, here's the plane that you heard but never saw. Isn't it time to get rid of that squarish, clunker of an analog set? Without  HD, all of the super-cool widescreen effects are just "Lost" on you!

Is Lost challenging My Name is Earl for king of the easter eggs?


LostWhile we were watching last weeks Earl for Easter Eggs (I didn't notice any), maybe we should have been checking another one of our favorite high definition shows more closely, Lost. Luckily TV Squad is more than willing to dissect each frame looking for clues about the survivors, the mysterious island they are on and the Dharma Initiative.

After careful (re)viewing they noticed a date in the future on an X-ray shown during Jack's flashback. A mistake/red herring or something more? Additionally, during that episode some viewers could see the makeup covering Jack's tattoo, wonder why that is. Maybe they should have called our friends at Numeric Proof or they wanted us to notice.

I can't call it, but rest assured, I'll be going over Grey's Anatomy tonight with a fine toothed comb.
