On the history channel.

There's two to check out, the Foods that built America, and the Cars that built America. Both amazingly well done.

In the food that makes America, it follows the story of Heinz, The Kellog and Post Wars, the chocolate Bar wars with Hersey and Mars, Coca Cola and the sad story of John Pemberton (Future article there). The fast good industry with the brothers that founded McD, and oh Colonel Sanders straight up murdering a guy.

Things that amazed me is that a lot of people give Ford credit for the Assembly Line, but Heinz did it first, and maybe better, he was also way ahead of the game in terms of electrification.

Hersey and his insistance on building a utopian town around his factory. How much John and Will Kellog hated each other and how Will destroyed not only his brother, but had a serious war with the Post cereal empire.

These food innovators never got the same kind of credit as some of the other railroad and oil giants at the time, but the empires that they built and the struggles they went through were unbelievable.

the car one is even more facinating. I would love to see them do one on the real well known monsters of industry that built the railroads, and bought in the industrial revolution in the States.
