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_för_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.

Yaa lucky there is a family guy

Not sure if this would be categorised under ‘violence’ but the mini series Chernobyl is freakin excellent. It’s PvE, no sex, no human vs human violence (AFAIK). If you haven’t seen that, I would recommend it 110%. There’s a real sense of comradery, as multiple nations contribute to help contain the disaster, but it’s also tragic. The series also depicts the event as less bad than it actually was in some respects.

IT SEEMS TODAY…

i’m quite into:

• competitive cooking shows where the chefs are regular folks who have real personalities (example: netflix barbecue showdown)
• shows where people restore rusty cars and then try and sell them, often focusing on the economics of running a garage and the things that can go wrong when buying ancient vehicles. (example rust valley restorers)

Sesame Street is still going.

Yes.

That is a complete answer fwiw

@shit_of_ass yes. I have just the show for you if you’re tired of that stuff.

Detectorists.

Sounds like the algorithm has you in a box or sex and violence. We all get put in these boxes if you watch even one violent/sex video as the algorithm knows sex and violence gets engagement. You have to watch, like, comments whatever you can to engage with content you prefer to slowly change the feed. Even then, you will be tantalized with that sort of content from time to time as it tends to be what engages most. Resist and if possible tell it to stop showing content like that.

The local channel has like 8 hrs of continous bird feeder, then a half hour of student news, and an hour of polka dancing on average every day.

Those old people sure can dance, but I don’t think any of them are particularly sexy.

Ted Lasso is very good, while having basically no sex or violence

Watch old popular programs and shows from the past.

There’s a reason why some shows went on for seven, eight or nine years … people liked them and the productions were well done because they had to be back then.

Nowadays, it’s far too easy to slap together a formulaic show or movie pump it out with a low budget and send it out. It’s good in one way because it gets writers, producers, actors and directors to do work they never could have done in the past but it also means there is less pressure to make something great. Twenty, or thirty years ago and more, a production had to be really well done because it was way more expensive, involved a lot more people and there was far more risks for everybody. Doesn’t mean they always produced great stuff but due to the circumstances, there was more pressure to make great content.

At this point in media … you can take your time watching what’s new and if you ever feel like there’s nothing to watch … there’s decades of great content from the past that will suit anyone.

This is how I wound up watching Asian fantasy series on Netflix.

Joe Pera Talks With You

How To with John Wilson

Sadly both shows ended in the last few years, but I think these are better than the similar Ted Lasso. Ted Lasso for introverts, maybe.

Parks and Rec

Derry Girls

Roadkill (car show on HBO)

Great British Bakeoff or whatever it’s called
