1) Independence Day: We've been celebrating the bicentennial here on the site with a look back at TV Guide 50 years ago. What a glorious time it was in 1976, with many Americans coming together to celebrate the nation's history.
And speaking of history:
2) Bicentennial Minutes: Love seeing any of these on YouTube! Here is all of them, or maybe all floating around at the moment.
3) Michael J. Fox/Roger Damon Price: Let's also give some love to Canada, which celebrated Canada Day last week. Also, these two were appointed to Order of Canada (The latter created You Can't Do That on Television).
4) This Is America, Charlie Brown: Apple TV added the 1988 miniseries this week. Ir's enjoyable, but, man, it bugs me that the kids are running around The Mayflower in bare feet.
5) Fantasy Island: Prime Video added the original and appears to be adding more Sony shows such as Hazel and Archie Bunker's Place.
Speaking of Sony shows, Roku is adding or re-adding a bunch, including That's My Mama, Hardcastle and McCormick, and The Famous Teddy Z.
6) Liberty Weekend: ABC was all over the Statue of Liberty centennial, and 40 years ago tonight, it continued its coverage with a special featuring Placido Domingo, the New York Philharmonic, and more.
7) National Ice Cream Month: And it's been pretty hot here, too.
8) The Twilight Zone: I love that the original gets marathons every July 4 weekend, but here's a spot from the 1980s version/
9) Wimbledon: The tennis tournament is well underway here in 2026; on this day in 1986, Martina Navratilova beat Hana Mandlikova in the final, and on this day in 1980, Bjorn Borg topped John McEnroe in their classic showdown in the men's final.
10) R.I.P. Penelope Keith:
