I tend towards science/history/etc documentaries (actual docos, not the bullshit propagandist/political ones a'la Michael Moore) where once in awhile it might get a touch preachy, but usually not. Old TV shows (there's a few channels in the nosebleed section of Dish that replay them, adapted to HD format). I'll tend to make room for occasional 'reality' shows like Life Below Zero, where the bullshit is either absent or at least kept to a minimum (to Nat'l Geographic's credit, they do keep the preachy bullshit to an absolute minimum on that show, and there's no room for LGBAQDXYZMF horseshit there.)
I will skip total bullshit like Mysteries of the Abandoned, mostly because the dude in drag that occasionally shows up on it has one incredibly irritating-as-fuck falsetto voice.
The wife will get into historical dramas and suchlike (the ones that aren't SJW bullshit. Things like Poldark or Victoria on the local PBS station's Masterpiece timeslot; you do have to be careful what you pick and choose, though. Then again, I thought the first couple seasons of National Geographic's Vikings was kick-ass, so...)
But, all said, you can usually pick-and-choose fairly easily, and pretty much anything on the old Broadcast/local stations is not worth bothering over.
