((The product of three years' development, 3-2-1 Contact™ (B. 1980 D. 1988) stands as the third-longest-running series ever produced by the Children's Television Workshop (as it was then called). Its premise was to bring the world of science, and all its excitement, to middle-school students, particularly girls and minorities. Through seven seasons, various hosts traveled around the world to find science in everything. Over the years, features such as clever animation, biographies, and the detective series The Bloodhound Gang were included. Complementing the series for middle-school students and teachers alike was 3-2-1 Contact magazine, edited by Jonathan Rosenbloom. ))
Holy crap, I remember watching this show in school every morning before class. I really remembered the groovy opening with the 70s music. IMDB says that the show ran for seven seasons. The show promoted science and helped kids get interested in science.
The only famous person to come from this show was Sarah Jessica Parker that I know of. Parker was in three episodes.
The Bloodhound Gang was a segment from this show too. The Gang would solve cases through science and reasoning. The Band Bloodhound Gang came up with this name through watching the old TV show. I also think the new Mystery Team comedy film is highly influenced by the Bloodhound Gang show.
The Bloodhound Gang was my favorite portion of the show. Here are a few more episodes.
The First episode: I actually remember this episode. You get to see how the groovy Theme Song came together.
Suzanna Ciani on Contact: I don't know who this is, but seems a bit high in this clip.
The difference between the Arctic and Antarctic: This song has pretty much clean up everything I ever wanted to know about the differences between the two poles.
I think kids need to have more shows that promote science and education such as this show and the Electric Company.
Let’s make Contract!
