Any recommendations on some of the better video programs that teach the Catechism?

As I learn more about my church, I realize my own CCD background was inadequate but I recognize that I don’t want to pick up the text and try to read cover-to-cover, any more than I would Shakespeare or Chaucer. Ideally I’m trying to find a video or audio program that works through the Catechism verbatim with commentary on the history, tradition, and intrepretation of the text. I feel like this is something CA may already have, but everything I’ve seen is either cursory (Catechism in a 5 minute YouTube clip) or a weighty written tome.

Is there any online class somewhere in-between that I can work through at my own pace?

Regardless of Fr Corapi’s situation, he delivered an excellent catechism series.

If you have FORMED.org there is the series “ECHO” that goes through the USCCA

United States Catholic Catechism for Adults

The Newman Connection does a free online study of You CAt

The Compendium is a Q and A format that is good for study:

And watching Symbolon on FORMED (while not specifically the Catechism) is a great form of Catechesis too.
 
I’d second the suggestion of the Compendium. It is not only far more accessible but also includes the citations in the full Catechism of the Catholic Church for those who want to learn about a particular question in more detail.

“… The Compendium, which I now present to the Universal Church, is a faithful and sure synthesis of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. It contains, in concise form, all the essential and fundamental elements of the Church’s faith, thus constituting, as my Predecessor had wished, a kind of vademecum [companion guide] which allows believers and non-believers alike to behold the entire panorama of the Catholic faith.’…”

The size, format and language make it accessible to read front-to-back as a companion and introduction to the full Catechism.
