Nothing worth getting excited about. Most of the dive related shows I've seen depict horrid practices that leave the more educated diver cringing. If taken at an entertainment value, then they are only somewhat amusing. Most have been on the History Channel, Discovery Channel, or Travel Channel.
The most notable has been Deep Sea Detectives on Tech Tuesdays on the History Channel. The stories have interest in the foundation, but they become over hyped with drama and poor dive technique. Do some searches on the board for other's opinions.
The Travel Channel shows bits and pieces of some nice dive locations as part of an overview of a destination.
If you ever see a dive show with a long-haired hippie name Manny, just turn the channel. It was made to compete with the Crocadile Hunter type mentality. Very stupid and animal unfriendly stuff.

Right now (it's late Sun night or early Mon morn, however you want to look at it) there is a show on called Killer Instinct with the Crocodile Man. They're on the Australian coast, and it's about dangerous marine animals. But, so far, it has not been damaging to the animals.
One very interesting thing to me, was that he wore pantyhose to prevent jellyfish stings. Perhaps we should all throw a couple pair into our dive bags as a back up skin. Even if we never needed them, it might be entertaining to see you guys explain to your non-diving wives why you have pantyhose in your bag...

SEAHUNT was on the Outdoor channel for a short time last year, that's about as good as it gets.
Panty hose was a favorite for keeping leeches off the legs on those long waits in the swamps & rice paddys.
I recall one guy getting a "talking to" when the censors spotted a request (on a post card being sent home) that his girl friend send some over.
