What's On Tonight (Tuesday): There's gonna be fireworks/on the Fourth of July (Red, white and blue!)

 

Via Giphy.

Tonight's Top Pick is the Macy's 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular, airing once again on NBC. I could have chosen A Capitol Fourth, or The Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular, or even the 2023 Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest. ... What I'm getting at is that there's not much besides holiday programs today.

With wishes for life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness and love American style, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Tuesday, July 4. All times are EST.
