Are you looking for cooking tips from Bobby Flay or eating tips at Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest? Do you want to celebrate American History with JOHN ADAMS, THE REVOLUTION or AMERICA: THE STORY OF US? Or would you rather just stay home and enjoy music and fireworks with Macy's 4th of July or the Philly 4th of July Jam?

To celebrate the 4th of July this year, bring out your beach towel, BBQ some hot dogs, and watch some television. TV Tango has your complete guide to Independence-Day themed programming as well as series and movie marathons on TV for your entire 4th of July vacation.

If you just want to watch fireworks on TV this year, here's a handy guide to five of the nation's best celebrations:
