Macy’s 4th of July
Fireworks Spectacular
Saturday at 8 p.m. on KMTR
One television hallmark of Inde-
pendence Day is this showcase
for the colorful displays above
New York, and the event is
broadcast again this year. Mu-
sic acts and NBC personalities
will be in on the festivities, with
“Today’s” Willie Geist and Tam-
ron Hall serving as hosts — and
Brad Paisley, Kelly Clarkson,
Dierks Bentley, Meghan Trainor
and Flo Rida slated to perform.
The sights in the skies always
are impressive here as America
celebrates its birthday.
Shark Trek
Sunday at 8 p.m. on TDC
One of TV’s most popular TV
progamming “stunts” returns with
a total of 19 hours of primetime
shark-themed shows, the most in
its 28-year history. The Florida
Department of Tourism probably
won’t like this season opener,
which follows Massachusetts
marine biologist Dr. Greg Skomal
as he tags Great White Sharks
off Cape Cod to study their swim
patterns. He discovers the Florida
coast is the new Great White
hotspot in the Atlantic, but with
no tasty seal population there to
rival that of Massachusetts, Skom-
al struggles to figure out why.
Why?
With Hannibal Buress
Wednesday at
10:30 p.m. on COM
Emmy-nominated writer and
comic Hannibal Buress (“Broad
City”) incorporates stand-up,
filmed segments, man-on-the-
street interviews and conversa-
tions with in-studio guests as he
provides his trademark perspec-
tive on each week’s topic in this
freewheeling new comedy series,
which tapes before a live studio
audience the same week the
episode airs.
