Going to the fireworks then watching '1776' with my family as is tradition. Anyone who hasnt seen that movie should, William Daniels (Mr. Feeny) is fantastic as John Adams. A bit of boo hoo hoo guilt over the slave trade, but that scene is easily skipped and the rest of the movie is fantastic. Good songs (and I hate musicals), Howard Da Silva does an amazing job as Ben Franklin, and fairly accurate to history.
We used to watch the VHS version, which was the theatrical version. Recently I got the full version on bluray so it has been interesting watching it with my family as they are used to the shorter version.
Also my cousin in named John so we tend to use "For God's sake John, sit down!" on him often.
Happy Fourth to all of you all.

I love the ball busting of John Adams. Do you watch the theatrical version or the version with the 'Cool, Considerate Men' number?

You're cousin must be obnoxious and disliked.
You know that, sir.
