The Shock of the New is a BBC television program that was produced in 1980’s. Narrative by Australian-born art critic Robert Hughes, it addresses the development of modern art starting with the Impressionists.
I haven’t watched all of the 8 episodes (yet), but I have enjoyed them so far. They are a good refresher if it has been awhile since you’ve taken a formal art history class, or, better yet, not ever taken an art history class.

Not so old, but still worth a watch is PBS Off Book. It appears exclusively on You Tube and talks about trends in art, design, and internet culture. The videos aren’t that long so it’s easy to binge on them! As someone who spends a majority of her time in front of the computer, I find these topics interesting and relevant to the things I’m thinking about.
