What are you watching today?

by Bob Sassone, posted Jul 4th 2006 8:30AM

Roger FedererSo here it is, the Fourth of July. Barbecues, beaches, parades, fireworks and all that. But there's TV too, if you don't want to go outside.

What is everyone watching today? It's a weekday so many of the same shows are on, but there are also a lot of specials too. USA has a Monk marathon all day and night, while The Sci-Fi Channel has the last day of their three day Twilight Zone marathon. CNN, MSNBC, and FOX News will probably have coverage of all of the Fourth celebrations and rememberances throughout the day. And the space shuttle Discovery is supposed to lift off at 2:38pm ET.

My two Fourth of July TV traditions are watching the episode of Magnum, P.I. where he goes out on the Fourth to row by himself, and gets knocked off of his canoe and has flashbacks to when his dad taught him to swim. And Wimbledon! I'll be watching Wimbledon all day on NBC and ESPN2.

What are your Fourth TV traditions?

LOL! Americans may be watching Monk or Twilight Zone marathons, but I think most of the rest of the world was watching Italy hand it to Germany today... ;)

Today I have been watching some tennis, especially, Maria Sharapova. I will be keeping an eye on baseball scores and the World Cup. I may catch a Monk re-run or two. But now, it's back to the family picnic! But guess what? I will not eat any hotdogs! Peace.

Totally forgot to pop a tape in for 'Rawhide' this morning, but thanks to TVSquad, I've got a tape running now for the last five hours of the marathon.

Interesting synchronicity in that last week's 'Hustle', aired in the UK back in March, had Danny Blue singing the 'Rawhide' theme song in his bathtub, and now we've got it on all day on Hallmark.

I live in Canada now so I'm actually at work (we had yesterday off for Canada Day, though), but normally I *would* be watching Wimbledon.

I'll be watching my favorite patriotic movie on TCM tonight-- Yankee Doodle Dandy with James Cagney. Great music and dance, inspiring story of an American original. One of the best movies ever.

I've been watching Wimbledon for the past week so why change now? Actually I almost always watch Wimbledon around July 4th. Or if I have to go somewhere I actually... tape it. I'm weird.

Usually we head to a big city to watch the fireworks and we are gone all day. But this year it's really low key with a minor league baseball game and fireworks here in our hometown. But HBO has on Field of Dreams right now, shuttle launch later, World Cup too. I noticed my Tivo doesn't have anything queued up for today at all so I guess channel surfing is on the agenda for today. :)
