Hogan's Heroes.
Nah, The Office....
I dig 30 days actually, just cool little mini-docs.
I can't recall, there are a few films I like... But I dig the channels that show them.

Hoop Dreams and When We Were Kings were two great sports ones.
American Hardcore was a great music documentary a out 80s punk. Rhyme and Reason was the best documentary I've ever seen about hip hop.
I can't really think of others, but I am a big documentary fan.

There's many music docs that I loves. The Devil & Daneil Johnston, Don't Look Back, No Direction Home, I Am Trying To Break Your Heart...or maybe that's about the lot of them. Pretty much in that order, too.

Harlan County USA
Gates of Heaven
The Monterey Pop Festival
Rize
Burden of Dreams
The Making of "Fanny & Alexander" (this and Burden of Dreams are really great if you like stuff like Hearts of Darkness. They're utterly fascinating looks at film geniuses at work (Werner Herzog in Burden and Ingmar Bergman in The Making of...))

The best wrestling one I've seen is The Unreal Story of Professional Wrestling, the A&E one from the late 1990s narrated by Steve Allen.

Can't Believe I forgot The Decline of Western Civilization: The Metal Years. Oh man, I can't believe I forgot that one! The first one, about late-70s L.A. punk dealt with music I like more, but this one was HILARIOUS! For those that haven't seen it, it deals with the hair metal scene in L.A. in, I believe, 1986 or 87. The 29-year-old dude in his pool guzzling straight vodka while his mom looks on in disgust was hysterical and sad at the same time.

MY two absolute faves are "The Kid Stays in the Picture" and "The Fog of War."
Two docs where history comes straight from the horses' mouth.

Once In A Lifetime, about the New York Cosmos soccer team in the 1970's which Pele and a host of others played for. Very well done, and from the same guys who did Dogtown and Z-Boys.

I forgot to mention that I really dug "The Rise and Fall of ECW."
Also, Air Guitar Nation was great, but I didn't get to finish it. It was airing on VH1, and I had to leave to go to work.
