The show about Wile's proof of Fermat's Last Theorem was in the PBS
Nova series. Called "The Proof," it sells for $19.95, has code WG2414, and
can be bought at Web site
http://web-cr02.pbs.org/wgbh/shop/videdu06detect.html

Regarding the Bill Cosby show, I wonder if it is "Math...Who Needs
It?" ($14.95) available at
http://www.cybersuperstores.com/kidsfirst/mathwho.html

Hope this helps.
