To Market to Market to Buy a Fat Pig
To Market to Market to Buy a Fat Pig is a celebration of market houses, market places and farmers' markets across the United States. Rick Sebak checks out crab cakes in Baltimore's Lexington Market, shops with a chef in Pittsburgh's East Liberty Farmers' Market and attends a tomato tasting in Asheville, North Carolina. This program looks at the joys of talking to people who grow our food and the fresh opportunities that are found in markets. |
A Cemetery Special
A not-spooky documentary that celebrates American cemeteries as unusual places full of history, art, architecture and surprises of many sorts. Cemeteries are of course where we bury the dead, where we mark their graves with monuments and markers of many sorts, but also where we go to remember people we have loved, admired, or learned about over the years. |
A Program About Unusual Buildings
and Other Roadside Stuff
Rick Sebak brings his trademark flair to a road trip in search of America's most interesting, wacky and goofy buildings, celebrating places such as the Big Duck on Long Island, the National Fresh Water Fishing National Hall of Fame (in the shape of a giant fish) in Heyward, Wisconsin, and the world's largest catsup bottle, built as a water tower in Collinsville, Illinois. |
Sandwiches That You Will Like

We look at some amusing history and discover what's special about these amazing parks that bring people together and keep them coming back.

A Flea Market Documentary is an all-American celebration of open air shopping across the country, of the unusual people and the enticing things that can be found in parking lots, fairgrounds, drive-ins, sidewalks, and wherever else someone has posted a sign saying "Flea Market." It's amazing old stuff, great sales people, the ancient tradition of the open-air market, and the possibility of finding a bargain, all uniting shoppers across the nation.

A Hot Dog Program is an all-American celebration of those fabulous and phenomenally popular little sausages in their soft little buns. Whether you like your dog with mustard and sauerkraut, chili and cheese, or with the "works," this program is sure to please.
