There Goes a... is a collection of children's videos, also known as Real Wheels. Three episodes, "There Goes a Garbage Truck," "There Goes the Mail," and "There Goes a Rescue Vehicle", were released as a part of the short-lived "Dream Big" series. Each episode focuses on different transportation vehicles; however, one episode is reserved for Santa Claus, and another for roller coasters. Each is live-action, starring Dave Hood, and is sometimes accompanied by a sidekick, Becky Borg.
The series of videos revolved around Dave in new jobs that center around the vehicles being featured but reminded kids that they were "just pretending for the day". While the most part of the videos focused on showing how the vehicles worked and what they can do, predictably Dave would get into trouble and say his catchphrase, "Oh, I shouldn't have done that!".

Live from the Metropolitan Opera is an American television program that presented performances of complete operas from the Metropolitan Opera, New York City, on the Public Broadcasting Service television network. The program began in 1977, and was telecast live for its first few seasons. The first telecast, La Bohème, featured Luciano Pavarotti as Rodolfo and Renata Scotto as Mimi, with James Levine conducting; all three were interviewed during the intermission. In 1988, the program title was changed to The Metropolitan Opera Presents, to reflect the fact that the performances were now taped prior to broadcast. Live from the Met functioned as a supplement to the regular Saturday Metropolitan Opera radio broadcasts. During its first fifteen years, the program was frequently simulcast, enabling some audiences to hear the opera in stereo via radio as well.
