 Don't let your family and friends make you feel guilty for spending the Fourth of July weekend at home instead of being out in the sun, barbecuing, and donning red, white, and blue. A staycation for the long weekend can be a very patriotic and enriching experience, too. But you don't have to watch all the predictable ones, either. There are plenty of television shows that offer a nugget of what makes the US great. Those shows can range from comedic and dramatic shows to the unscripted and animated ones. Yes, some of these picks will seem odd. But give us a chance to explain. Here are 10 shows that will teach you something about America during Fourth of July weekend: SEE ALSO: These are the best shows on TV, according to critics DON'T MISS: Here's when all your favorite TV shows are returning this fall 1. "Drunk History"  If you've never been great at American History, Comedy Central has figured out a way to make it much more fun. It added alcohol. Watch A-List actors and inebriated narrators bring new life to the stories of our country. Stream it on Hulu.
2. "Veep"  What does our vice president do anyway? If you're Selina Meyer (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), it's whatever's going to get her from being an acting POTUS to an elected one. Watch as she plays to the voters, the press, and other politicians with the help of her dysfunctional team. If anything, you'll walk away with a deep understanding of the great gap between being the president and being the veep. Stream it on HBOGo or HBO Now.
3. "The Amazing Race"  As events like Brexit have proven, the US is no longer shielded from what happens in other countries. Watching "The Amazing Race" is a great way to see the world without leaving your home. Plus, the races always start and end in the US. Go America! Stream it on Hulu.
