I have been watching Aerial America on Paramount+, which features the 50 states plus U.S. territories in each nearly hour episode. The scenery is beautiful and I'm learning a lot about each state's agriculture, industry and history. The writing is good and they have not held back on telling the stories of how indigenous people were enslaved and/or pushed off their land. Unfortunately there are many such tales. But overall, I'm finding taking these virtual tours very enjoyable. I got started on this kick by watching Aerial New Zealand, a place I always thought is so beautiful. Have you ever watched these kinds of shows?
In the episode about N.J., my timeshare was shown in the first 30 second preview of what was to come. I was way more impressed with N.J. and Wisconsin than California, the first three I watched. Here's a full episode from YouTube if you care to check the program out. It says they have 20 of them. I haven't watched this one yet. Have you ever watched this kind of programming? Or have you toured some states during road trips?
Update: It has come to my attention that the original video I posted cannot be viewed on this forum. But it can be viewed directly on YouTube, just put Aerial America in their search field. @JonSR77 also brought up that episodes can be watched for free on The Smithsonian Channel..the original channel where they aired. However, episodes 2 and beyond require that you sign in with your T.V. provider (if you have one). Those of us who "cut the cord" will not be able to do that.

Your fix for the matter seemed to be better than mine! Only problem is that to watch other than episode one, the Smithsonian Channel requires viewers to unlock other episodes by signing in with their T.V. provider. Those of us who "cut the cord" and stream cannot do that. Plus I notice there's a 24 hour pass feature...don't know what that's all about. So for anyone who doesn't have cable service (T.V. provider) I was going to suggest that they go directly to You Tube, enter Aerial America in their search and access it that way. I am going to change my OP to add this information.
