Yep, there is a lot of stuff.

Obviously this is a dependent on what media you have access to.

I am going to define your requirenments for TV rather loosely and include Youtube as well.

So here are some of the shows I find quite wholesome and nice.

Michael Palin's travel shows like

Pole To Pole with Michael Palin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pole_to_Pole_with_Michael_Palin - Very interesting documentary as he visits the Societ Union just days before it fell without realizing it.

Full circle with Michael Palin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_Circle_with_Michael_Palin

Michael Palin's New Europe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Palin's_New_Europe

There are plenty more to watch from his travel documentaries, these three are just the ones I have watched and enjoyed.

They can be found on dailymotion, though some episodes might be missing.

I am a Swede, and unless you know Swedish, the next one might be slightly difficult to fully understand, since they speak a fair bit of Swedish in it, but most of what it said is in English.

Allt för Sverige - Ten Americans come to Sweden to explore their Swedish herritage and, if they win rhe competition, get to meet their Swedish family: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allt_f%C3%B6r_Sverige - this also exists on Dailymotion, all eleven seasons can befound there, I tend to skip the competition parts and just watch as the Americans get to visit Sweden and experience the place they have dreamt a lot about.

The following YT channels are great for slow, well made content without sex and violence:

Bigclivedotcom - https://youtube.com/@bigclivedotcom - a lovely man reverse engineering crappy electronics from ebay and experiementing with spirits to see if they carbonate or if they can be distilled and what end result tastes like.

Brick Experiment Channel - https://youtube.com/@BrickExperimentChannel - do you like Lego? Do you like Lego being built into working drones, submarines and other clever stuff without a commenter talking over the action? This is the place for you, and absolue gem of a channel.

Calum - https://youtube.com/@CalumRaasay - A channel full of very well produced videos, there a everything about documentaries about the jerrycan, WWII rescue bouys, WV Beetles at the south pole, old arieal navigation aids, shipping containers, flying RVs and much more to video essays about how good the Suzuki Jimny and Super Carry are to videos about how terrible Rhododendron are.

Jet Lag: The Game - https://youtube.com/@jetlagthegame - A really cool channel where they turn the world into a boardgame, they have played connect five across America, played tag across europe, played capture the flag across Tokyo, played hide snd seek across Switzerland and more, very fun and nice.

Our own devices - https://youtube.com/@CanadianMacGyver - A Canadian man talking about odd things in his collection, this range from gas masks to disc cameras, from signaling lamps to emergency radios, form polaroid cameras to fire fighting granades, from WWII clickers to soda syphons, and much more.

Peter Dibble - https://youtube.com/@peterdibble - Do you want to learn about the bus that got turned into an arieal tramway, Lego's lost architectual cosin, Americas christmas monorails, that time when Amtrack borrowed a Swedish and German highspeed train and had them run in commercial service and go on a tour of the US, the first barcode, and more, this is the place for you.

RetroBytes - https://youtube.com/@RetroBytesUK - A channel about computer history and how our modern computers came to be.

Ruairidh McVeigh - https://youtube.com/@rorymacve - Fantastic vidoes about car/train/plane/ship history, well researched and well produced, highly recommended.

I hope these tips help.
