Man, what a great show. I remember watching this as a kid. It did the job because it helped launch my interest in computers and everything science. I miss shows like this, what can you say? They just don't make 'em like they used to. Another show I got hooked on was Newton's Apple.

Thanks to Youtube, I found this really cool clip:

YouTube - 3-2-1 Contact -- Very First Episode - 1980 - Intro/Theme

It's not quite as cool as the Doctor Who theme song video, but man, what a GREAT intro song. I also loved the Bloodhound Gang that would periodically show on 3-2-1 Contact.

Dude, that was awesome. I had totally forgotten about that show! Man, I watched it all the bloody time, too.

Both of those were my favorite shows. And Newton's Apple was made here in Mpls, too. The first host, Ira Flatow, is on NPR's Science Friday now, one of my current favorite shows!

Not a great intro song, but another great show from that time period nonetheless:

YouTube - Square One TV: Theme Song

I still think Mathnet's great:

YouTube - Mathnet - Case of the Willing Parrot (Recap & Finale) Pt.1

I only watched it for the Bloodhound Gang. Otherwise I hated the show.
