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.

(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Gracenote.)
