Fourth of July celebrations — Here's our big-bang theory: There's nothing that matches watching fireworks live and in person. But if you happen to be anchored to the couch on Saturday, fireworks can be pretty cool on television, too — especially in HD. The explosive programming includes Capitol Fourth (8 p.m., PBS) as Jimmy Smits hosts a bash from Washington, D.C., with performances by Barry Manilow, Aretha Franklin and others. Also, the Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular (10 p.m., CBS) has Neil Diamond performing at the Charles River Esplanade. Craig Ferguson hosts.
Other bets
Tonight: Jamie Foxx hosts the ninth annual BET Awards, honoring standout achievements in entertainment and sports. Among the performers: Jay-Z, Kanye West, Beyonce, Ne-Yo, Soulja Boy, Mary Mary, and Young Jeezy. 8 p.m., BET.
Tonight: Let us try to explain Hung without getting censored: It's a new pay-cable comedy about a down-and-out high school coach (Thomas Jane) who happens to be very well-endowed. And he resolves to turn his greatest ''asset'' into a money-maker. 10 p.m., HBO.
Monday: On The Closer, Brenda and her squad are temporarily deputized into the FBI for a murder case. But — surprise, surprise — her tactics don't exactly mesh with FBI protocol. 9 p.m., TNT.
Monday: On Dance Your Ass Off! plus-sized contestants team up with professional hoofers. And the number on the scale is just as important as the number on the judges' cards. 10 p.m., Oxygen. Beacon Journal writer Rich Heldenfels interviews a Canton man who is competing on the show in Sunday's Channels television guide.
Tuesday: On the ever-wacky Better Off Ted, a toxic ooze forces Linda to temporarily move into Ted's office. Funny how toxic ooze can bring people together. 9:30 p.m., ABC.
Wednesday: The latest installment of American Masters goes behind the scenes of the popular radio show, A Prairie Home Companion, and inside the imagination of Garrison Keillor, the funny man who created it. 8 p.m., PBS.
Wednesday: Monsters Inside Me sounds like a gruesome horror flick. Instead, it's a new series that focuses on real-life microscopic organisms that can wreak silent havoc in human bodies. And you thought trans fats were wicked. 9 p.m., Animal Planet.
Thursday: On the reality train wreck known as The Fashion Show, the remaining designers are taken to a tarot-card reader to learn their futures. So does that mean we'll find out who wins and can stop watching? 10 p.m., Bravo.
Friday: Hot dog-eating champ Joey Chesnut challenges the kids on Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? And, just for kicks, maybe he'll devour Jeff Foxworthy. 8 p.m., Fox.
Saturday: We are so stoked for Man vs. Cartoon, the show that has participants trying to create gizmos that Wile E. Coyote deployed in his fruitless pursuit of the Road Runner. Up tonight: fan-powered roller skates and a rocket sled. Has the Acme Corporation given its consent? 10 p.m., TruTV.
