“Man vs. Cartoon” (10 p.m., TruTV): 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?
Fourth of July celebrations: 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 starts with “Capitol Fourth” (8 p.m., PBS) as Jimmy Smits hosts a bash from Washington, D.C., with performances by Barry Manilow, Aretha Frankilin and others. In Manhattan, Natalie Morales and Tiki Barber anchor coverage of the “Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular” (9 p.m., NBC) with Rob Thomas, Jewel and the cast of “West Side Story.” Finally, the “Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular” (10 p.m., CBS) has Neil Diamond performing at the Charles River Esplanade. Craig Ferguson hosts.
