This week on TV: Happy Birthday to ‘Merica
June 30, 2014 The Laugh Button Staff News, Television, This Week on TV
Happy Birthday ‘Merica! This week we celebrate our birthday by being the best ‘Mericans that we can be – blowing things up, lighting things on fire, and searing animal flesh are part of the celebration. So as we head into this short, and usually quiet week of television, here’s a friendly reminder that fireworks can be dangerous and are illegal in many places… but these are just notions my neighbors never heard of, and they’ll once again prove it to me in a few days. Yes, it’s a slow week on TV this week for comedy, but we have two great season premieres for the hotly anticipated Drunk History and Nathan for You. We cap the week with lots of fireworks on TV. EXPLOSIONS!
