- A World of Art. I love this series on contemporary art. Available in the UMPI library on VHS. Gómez-Peña rocks!
- Exploring the World of Music. A little dry. My favorites are: 1. Sound, Music, and the Environment; 2. The Transformative Power of Music. Available in the UMPI library on VHS
- American Cinema. flashy production with lots of movie stars
- Art of the Western World. Epic series: from classical Greece to post-modern. Episodes are evenly produced but getting a little dry and dated.
- wowtv.tv streaming video
