Here's my magic bullet, dating back to the Chowhound years. These are ad/documentaries about an impossibly idyllic summer camp. Both are great: this one's for campers and this one's for staff.

"Baltic Coasts" was the most soothing TV series ever created. Absolutely obscure and long gone (I showed an episode once to Les Blank, and he hated it viciously, which makes sense as "soothing" was the furthest thing from his filmmaking agenda). View these on the largest screen you've got.
