* ''Prime News'', a former straight news show title used by CNN and re-adapted to run down whatever awful and inane human interest stories CNN wants nowhere near their newscasts. Known for 'viewer interactivity', but most of this involves the [[Cloudcuckoolander|same people you find when you dare venture below the story end]] into a news website's comments section.
* ''Issues with Jane Velez-Mitchell'', a fast-paced hour of true crime stories, celebrity scandal and stuff that's usually in the "wacky file" of most other news shows.
* ''Nancy Grace'', a legal program starring the eponymous former [[Atlanta]] prosecutor. She is (in)famous for her confrontational style, her hatred of defense attorneys, and her zeal for seeing people get sent to jail, to the point where this very wiki once had a page dealing with [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Grace:Nancy Grace#Parodies_and_characters_based_on_GraceParodies and characters based on Grace|parodies of her]] (until we deleted it for being nothing more than a [[Take That]]). The show is so popular, it often outranks CNN's own programming in the timeslot, a point of embarrassment for HLN's mother network.
* ''Dr. Drew'', another show featuring the [[Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs?|constantly working]] celebridoctor dealing allegedly with hot topic news stories with his own psychological view of the stories, though more often than not it's usually a [[Product Placement]] slot for his newest television project or he deals with whatever HLN wants him to cover for the night.
* ''Showbiz Tonight'', which promotes itself as "entertainment's most provocative newsmagazine", though 90% of the time [[Never Trust a Trailer|it really isn't]]. Pretty much what you would see if Jezebel, Radar Online or Us Weekly had their own TV show, "provocative" meaning the usual "four people in boxes talk over each other for five minutes" style of debate, only about [[Lindsay Lohan]] instead of political topics. Before being rebooted here in 2008, when it was on CNN it was just about the most staid and straight-laced entertainment news program you could find on television.
