I have no idea about TV program... but how about this one ? http://jp.dinolingo.com/languages/japanese.html

ドラマ・・・？思いつきません。。。 （マンガならたくさんあるんですけど・・・） 「実写版ちびまるこちゃん」とか、どうでしょう？ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZwqsGop8w0 ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー Btw have you tried Ghibli, such as Totoro, Laputa, Momonoke, Spirited Away, Nausicaa?

If you like Disney Animation, you should watch that DVD in Japanese. The Japanese version of the DVD they will be Japanese speech, English speech, English subtitles, Japanese subtitles have been recorded.

My friend watched Mighty Atom（てつわんあとむ）, Ranma 1/2（らんま1/2）, DRAGON BALL Z（どらごんぼーるZ）, Doraemon（どらえもん）, Touch（たっち）, SLAM DUNK（すらむだんく） etc., I recommend Sazaesan(サザエさん). You can learn not only Japanese but also traditional culture. The one episode is short, about 10 minutes.
