Här får ni två bra och intressanta tips.
Det första är dokumentärserien Pioneers of Television som tidigare även har visats på SVT. Man kan fortfarande se avsnitten på
PBS. Dom fyra avsnitten är som följer.
Miniseries such as "Roots," "Rich Man, Poor Man" and "The Thorn Birds" mastered the art of storytelling. With their epic sagas, these television events kept America riveted night after night. Revisit famous scenes and hear actors talk about the impact of their miniseries on their own lives and on the world.
Superheroes crosses many eras: Superman in the 1950s, Batman in the '60s, Wonder Woman and The Incredible Hulk in the '70s and The Greatest American Hero in the '80s. They all fought villains, rescued the innocent and became role models. The episode features in-depth interviews with Adam West, Burt Ward, Julie Newmar, Lynda Carter, Lou Ferrigno, William Katt and others.
Primetime Soaps. Dallas and Dynasty kicked off the nighttime soap frenzy in the late 1970s, a phenomenon that continued through the last season of Knots Landing in 1993. The episode offers new details about the famous “Who Shot JR” episode of Dallas. Interviewees in this episode include Larry Hagman, Joan Collins, Linda Evans, Patrick Duffy, Diahann Carroll, Linda Gray, Michele Lee, Joan Van Ark and Donna Mills.
Funny Ladies. This episode includes the first standup comediennes to appear on television, including Joan Rivers and the late Phyllis Diller. Funny Ladies also looks at Lucille Ball’s breakthrough on I Love Lucy and the sitcom stars who followed, including Mary Tyler Moore, Betty White and Marla Gibbs. Also, television’s most beloved variety star, Carol Burnett.

Det andra tipset är den omfattande (15 avsnitt á 1 timme) dokumentärserien
The Story of Film som börjar att sändas i SVT2 den 1 juni klockan 21:00.
"Den irländska filmkritikern och fantasten Mark Cousins har skapat en omfattande och personlig berättelse om filmens historia. Serien i 15 delar visar allt från hur det hela startade med Edison och Lumière till dagens filmindustri runt om i världen."
