Made in the USA: Nova, Nature, Front Line, Independend Lens, Austin City Limits, This Old House, New Yankee Workshop, and many others.
Made in the UK: Mysteries (Sherlock Holmes, Morse, Inspector Lewis, Midsommer Murders, etc, etc. Lots of them), commedy (Are You Being Served?, Keeping Up Appearances, The Last of the Summer Wine, Red Dwarf, Monty Python, Jeeves and Wooster, etc, etc. Lots of them too), theatre (Shakespeare's plays, period pieces from Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, the Bronte Sisters, etc, etc.)
Made in Canada: The Red Green Show
There is also children's programming, educational programming, art, music, dance, etc. PBS is 24 hours of the highest quality television you can see anywhere, and not a single ad to be seen. Without a question PBS is the best anywhere.

Something that makes me curious is how commercial programming runs without ads. Commercial programming can be good too. I saw Rome and 24 on DVD. Rome was great. It flows perfectly without ads. 24 was so so. It had this clock coming in to telegraph the ad breaks. I have never seen CSI without ads. I imagine that it must flow better without ads.
