On a side note, I used to love that magazine and was disappointed when they changed it to "Contact Kids". I think there was also a TV show.


> I think there was also a TV show

Yes. It was a kind-of science show. Thank you for the jaunt down memory lane. I'm trying to play the theme song in my head now without google assistance. "3-2-1 contact. Reason mumble everybody"


3-2-1 Contact was awesome! Of course, I was 5 or 6 at the time... ;)


How about Square One... Mathnet! The Mystery of the Maltese Pigeon was my favorite one. I remember it so fondly, I'm almost afraid to go find it on YouTube.


Mathnet! That was an afternoon staple for me. The two detectives named after days of the week...

As a kid, I remember watching one episode where they opened a door with a credit card(!) and I was like "Mom, do you have a credit card" - I didn't tell her why and next thing I know after thirty minutes I shocked her by opening our side door with the credit card. Later, I got it down to 5 seconds and they changed the locks...


The Electric Company.

Spider-Man!

Nobody knows who you are!


... And a pretty good movie, too!
