And that's ''before'' we see the ominous print of the frickin' Reichenbach Falls on Holmes's mantlepiece, and the way the directors framed numerous shots to match the original Sidney Paget illustrations... excuse me, I think I need a lie-down.
* ''Series/StargateAtlantis'': The city of Atlantis is beautiful in its own right, but several later-season nighttime establishing shots are breathtaking.
* ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' has a ridiculously gorgeous opening title sequence -- so much so it ''[[SciFiWritersHaveNoSenseOfScale broke physics]]''
* On ''TopGear'' during their overseas specials, at least a few minutes of reverent attention is paid to the surroundings. The Vietnam special was particularly devoted to this, at least in part because the presenters wanted to show the country as "more than just that place where a war happened".
* ''TwinPeaks'' has some truly beautiful cinematography. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oDuGN6K3VQ The opening]] also gives you a good first look at some of the breathtaking nature scenery you're going to see in the show.
* ''{{Series/Torchwood}}'' is full of beautiful shots of Cardiff. And in "Countrycide", the countryside.
* The KennethBranagh adaptation of ''{{Series/Wallander}}'', set in southern Sweden, is heavy on the Scenery Porn, with countless lingering shots of beautiful Swedish landscapes.
* ''Series/WheelOfFortune'' can get ''very'' elaborate with its set designs, which change every week. They especially love Halloween week, where the set is replete with gag tombstones, an animatronic gargoyle, smoke and lights, etc.
* The BBC documentary series ''PlanetEarth'' has a ton of this. Aerial views of mountains, deserts, and forests, waterfalls and oceans, large migrating groups of animals, and more, all shot in HD, no less! Just let [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAqJ0R-EkZg this video]] explain for itself.
* ''Series/TheStraits'' revels in the contrast between its action-packed and violent crime premise, and the pristine natural beauty of northern Australia and the tropical coast of UsefulNotes/PapuaNewGuinea. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=881cTdf-ll8 The opener alone]] contains plenty of this.
* This is one of the primary draws of {{HGTV}} and the TravelChannel. You could say the two are glorified [[ScreenSaver screen savers]] in [=TV=] network form.
* The reality TV Show ''{{Series/Survivor}}'' likes to film in tropical locations, often using some beautiful aerial views during the torch walks (or in the case of "Palau", downright ''beautiful'' shots of the ocean). It was already darn beautiful, especially during some of the tribal council sets. (Especially "China", which had the most elaborate tribal council set as described by the show staff) However, it went UpToEleven in "Gabon" when they made the jump to HD. While people have gotten bored of having four seasons filmed in Samoa (Within two years), they really do showcase that the world can be a ''very'' beautiful place.
