"What better way to celebrate our great nation than to settle into a couch and watch one or all of the 10 greatest small-screen storylines set on or around Independence Day?
You probably don't have to think hard to name a half dozen classic Christmas episodes, or Halloween episodes, or Valentine's Day episodes of television. Independence Day episodes, though, have been much more rare. That's because the great majority of famous holiday episodes are from broadcast network TV shows, which tend to air sometime between early fall and late spring. And broadcast executives like whenever possible for their shows to follow the calendar.
But while Fourth of July episodes are uncommon, they do exist! Some are good, and a few are great. We picked our 10 favorites that take place on our nation's birthday."
