Special mention for the Square One TV Mathnet episode with the parking meters.
That was a reference that probably went over kids' heads. One of many. It's criminal the series never got full DVD release.

3-2-1 Contact is second only to Square One in my heart, for the solitary reason of MATHNET
It really is amazing how effectively this stuff lives up to the promise of the phrase "utopian scholastic". It makes me remember being that kid who loved 3-2-1 Contact and the Boston Museum of Science.

Okay, wild question.
Growing up, in your school or pubic library, did you guys have books that were just. Novelizations of kid's shows?
After stumbling upon a video about 'Square One' and 'Mathnet', I realized I read Mathnet books as well as novelized Pokemon episodes (up through Johto)

Unsurprisingly, many of my early role models were introduced to me by PBS.

Unfortunately, I will never be able to explain to Otonose Kanade how important Mathnet was to me as a child.

Somehow, in my brain, Mathnet from the PBS show 3-2-1 Contact starred Gillian Andersen and Hugh Fraser as the lead detectives.

I grew up watching Mathnet. My kids grew up watching Odd Squad. Republicans can go to hell for cutting PBS funding.

Odd story: Mathnet named a crime victim character "Liso" one week. She was obnoxiously helpful when the mathematicians showed up, until Frankly blurts out "it ain't necessary, Liso!"
^At which point I hear my dad cracking up in the kitchen—I may have known Dragnet, but I did not know Porgy & Bess!

sometimes we think about how educational TV in our childhood leaned on treating kids like humans and giving us stuff that was like, parody of grown up shows? and it was good!
Mathnet on Square One was fucking brilliant but no 6 year old knew what the fuck Dragnet was, they just did it anyway
