What's On Tonight (Sunday): Her House was her castle and her keep
 |
| House of the Dragon |
Who's got you? Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, July 5!
Our Top Pick tonight is House of the Dragon (HBO & HBO Max, 9 p.m.). Now in it's third season, the Game of Thrones prequel continues the tale of the Dance of the Dragons, a war of succession that took place about 200 years before the parent series and 100 years after the Seven Kingdoms were united. I have always had an appreciation for the show, even though not everything always landed. And this season is... quite good. (I say cautiously.)
Elsewhere, Sharkfest is back, Lestat records an album, Rick and Morty evolve, an Age of Electricity finds its Sparks, tea Built America, and go into the Chibiverse.

Happy Independence Day I spend much of my time here complaining about all of the many faults of this country. I see the Declaration of Independence as barely the beginning of a long, imperfect and incomplete experiment. It's easy to lose sight of how far we've come when we've sunk so low.

The Justice Department is still determined to bury any evidence of pedophile rapist Donald Trump's connection to Jeffrey Epstein to stonewall any real Epstein investigation. And if you talk about Stonewall it had better be Stonewall Jackson because slavery is good and not Stonewall Inn because queers are not.

What's On Tonight (Saturday): American Made
 |
| America Made in Virginia: 250 Years Together |
America, America, this is you! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, July 4!
Our Top Pick tonight is America Made in Virginia: 250 Years Together (PBS, 8 p.m.). This variety special is PBS' day-of independence day special since A Capitol Fourth occurred yesterday. It's one of many 4th specials, but without the glitz and glam of pop stars and commercial TV.
Elsewhere, many other networks have their own music variety special with fireworks, George Washington gets another docudrama, Superman goes to pound town, Hallmark celebrates Christmas, One Piece is in crisis, and Nat Geo celebrates the Animals.

It's Too Darn Hot for Your Own Thursday Headlines
With apologies to AlienJesus. (You're the one who doesn't care for Ann Miller, right?) I'm so overheated, I can't think straight. Anyway, this week's Notable Opening Nights post was going to be on Singin' in the Rain, which opened at the Gershwin in 1985. I'll fold it into next week's post, about the Marquis' opening.

 |
| Elle |
2026, part deux! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, July 1!
Our Top Pick tonight is the premiere of Elle (Amazon Prime Video+, 3 a.m.). In this prequel to Legally Blonde, teenage Elle (Lexi Minetree) moves from LA to Seattle and has a rough time fitting in.
