SUNDAY

"America in Color": Some of the most memorable images and film in U.S. history are transformed into color, courtesy of digital technology. The five-part series covers the period of the 1920s through the 1960s, which includes clips of Franklin Roosevelt, Martin Luther King Jr., the Kennedy-Nixon debates and Elvis Presley's hip-shaking debut on "The Ed Sullivan Show." (8 p.m. Smithsonian Channel)

"First Ladies Revealed": History is also the focus of this four-episode series, which looks at such First Ladies as Eleanor Roosevelt, Jackie Kennedy, Nancy Reagan, Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama. (9 p.m. Smithsonian Channel)

MONDAY



"Preacher": Jesse, Tulip and Cassidy continue on their search for God. Who, Tulip hears, may be in New Orleans. (9 p.m. AMC)

TUESDAY

Macy's Fourth of July Fireworks Spectacular: If you prefer watching fireworks from the comfort of home, here's the New York celebration, featuring performances by Brad Paisley, Lady Antebellum and Hailee Steinfeld. (8 p.m. NBC/8)

"A Capitol Fourth": John Stamos (yes, John Stamos) is the host of this year's big bash on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol. In addition to the fireworks, look for scheduled performances by the Beach Boys (with guest appearance by Stamos - he gets around), the Four Tops, Chris Blue (the most recent winner of "The Voice"), and Trace Adkins. And let's do the patriotic thing and not bring up last year's embarrassment, when Washington D.C. weather conditions hampered visibility, broadcast producers edited in footage of fireworks from previous years, and then had to apologize for misleading viewers. (8 p.m. PBS/10)

WEDNESDAY

"Snowfall": John Singleton ("Boyz n the Hood") co-created this new series that explores how the crack cocaine epidemic began, and its terrible impact. The story starts in 1983 Los Angeles, and involves characters including a young man who sees drug-dealing as a way to succeed; a CIA operative; and a crime family. (10 p.m. FX)

THURSDAY

"Mosquito": We may think of mosquitoes as mere summertime pests, but this new documentary explores just what a threat the creatures pose, as the growth of mosquitoes around the world contributes to outbreaks of diseases such as Zika, West Nile virus and malaria. Jeremy Renner narrates. (9 p.m. Discovery Channel)

FRIDAY

"Erik Griffin: The Ugly Truth": Erik Griffin is one of the stars of the Showtime series, "I'm Dying Up Here," and in this comedy special, he gets to show off his stand-up chops. (9 p.m. Showtime)

SATURDAY



"Still Star-Crossed": The "Romeo and Juliet" sequel underperformed in its Monday timeslot, so it's been shunted off to 10 p.m. Saturdays, en route to cancellation. (10 p.m. ABC/2)

"Tour de Pharmacy": Andy Samberg, who spoofed pro tennis in HBO's "7 Days in Hell," returns for another comedy, this one taking satirical aim at a famed cycling race in 1982, when it's "marred by the doping of virtually all of its competitors," as the press release says. Sounds familiar, doesn't it? The cast includes Samberg, Orlando Bloom, Daveed Diggs, Kevin Bacon, J.J. Abrams, Mike Tyson, Phylicia Rashad, Danny Glover and Lance Armstrong. (10 p.m. HBO)
