Overly Needy Infant?

I have a beautiful 4-month old boy and while he is relatively easy to soothe and calm down, he becomes intolerably fussy within 2 minutes of being put down anywhere.

Does anyone know if there is any show like that on TV now (We are not big TV watchers so I'm a bit clueless)? I really love the idea of signing but I'm not sure where to begin (my library doesn't really...
