Couch Potato - TV guides

I've been looking for interesting / educational programs to work on my Chinese. Ideally... business related, travel related, or just something that young people can watch. Having a video recorder helps a lot with this. I got a hard drive video recorder so that I could record a lot and then figure out what I wanted to watch.

Business things I'm following...
Boss town 波士堂 kind of fun interviews, saturday 11am CBN
Brainstorm 头脑风暴 saturday 4pm CBN
Strategic Decisions 决策 (not quite sure when or what channel yet)

touristy things i'm following on cctv9
Travelogue (weekly)
Culture Express (saturday edition has a 10 minute cookery thing)
Discovering China (cultural stuff)
Travel in Chinese (but too basic for me now)

fun things i'm following
qianjinqingyuan 千金情缘 a dramatic young and modern taiwanese soap

TV schedules / resources...
