They've been doing the same with the first and last episodes of some dramas... How idiotic.

YouTube is a valuable source for non-drama Japanese programming. Lots of informative and entertaining shows involving travel, food, culture, life, etc. Some of my favorites include Begin Japanology, Japanology Plus, Journeys in Japan, Seasoning the Seasons, Train Cruise, Document 72 Hours, Lunch On, Tokyo Eye 2020, Great Gear, Inside Lens, Cool Japan, J-Trip Plan, Trails to Tsukiji.
The other week I discovered videos of a Canadian-born, blond-haired rakugo storyteller. His name is Katsura Sunshine (Katsura is his rakugo master's surname with whom he trained for five years, and like in other traditional disciplines, it was his master who gave him his rakugo name). Some of the videos are about how he got into rakugo, some show him performing his act (he does rakugo in both Japanese and English, depending on the audience). In addition there are videos with him in two series--one has him explaining ukiyo-e prints; another has him showcasing different parts of Ise City (where he currently lives).

Document 72 Hours may be my favorite of those shows I listed as well. Reality programming at its most effective.
Peter Barakan, the host of Begin Japanology and Japanology Plus, does a wonderful job in his role. He studiously avoids speaking Japanese on air, but one time in the izakaya episode he had to in conversing with the garrulous elderly patron sitting next to him--it proved to be a quite entertaining and funny scene.

I think one of the other broadcast stations is doing the same, but I can't remember which one.
