In the Great Courses vein, I really loved "great ideas of philosophy". Another favorite is "a history of freedom".
i always liked the "Great Ideas of Philosophy" series by Daniel Robinson, for the Teaching Company (now the Great Courses). it's available to purchase from the great courses website or from Wondrium's very good subscription lectures streaming service. Lecture sets from these two companies are generally of the highest standard.
If you would like to sample it before patronising either of those two businesses, it seems to have been uploaded on youtube.

A number of great selections from The Great Courses, including:
The Great Ideas of Philosophy [0]
Science Wars: What Scientists Know and How They Know It [1]
The History of the United States [2]
World War II: A Military and Social History [3]
There's also this new translation of The Odyssey [4], which I've just started but like so far.
