I do too. Somewhere Street and PythagoraSwitch are shows my family and I have watched every week for many years. I find Somewhere Street particularly rewarding - we've learned about so many different countries and cities and their people.

And in general, watching NHK you get a perspective on things that are entirely missing or lacking in the US (e.g. things that inspire confidence and trust in public institutions, what the government is doing to prepare for natural disasters).

This documentary is really eye-opening about Miyazaki, his creative process, mental state, and the relationship with Studio Ghibli. Depressing, but I thought it was worth watching.
