Universal parks tv specials like Disney?

[CyndiLooWho]

We may never make it back to Disney, but I really enjoy watching the various Disney tv specials (Undiscovered Disney Parks, Modern Marvels Disney episode, etc) on The Travel Channel (or whatever it's called now).

Are there any similar shows for the Universal parks?

I remember walking through all those crappy wooden walls to to entrance or US. Then the preview center for IOA. Crazy to see what it has become.

Not exactly a special, but NBC (parent company of Universal) often features the parks in some of their prime time shows. The finale of Celebrity Apprentice featured it a few weeks ago, and over the summer Jimmy Fallon filmed an entire week of The Tonight Show from Universal

There's also a Making Of Diagon Alley special, I'm pretty sure it's on YouTube.
