The Scene for July 6, 2012

Another 4th of July without finding one TV station running the musical 1776.  What's with that?  Every other holiday, we're inundated with movies, and yet one of our most important holidays, with a show that's both historical AND entertaining, and it's nowhere to be found.  I guess they should have thrown in some zombies.

It's a light week, but here's what's playing on The Scene this first weekend in July...
