Who remembers the show Mathnet?

Answer 1

YEs... here is a summary of the show...

From 1987 through 1992, Mathnet was the most consistent element of Square One TV™. Mathnet was a creation of the Children's Television Workshop (as it was then called).

Mathnet was a Dragnet parody, produced by Janette Webb (Jack's widow). These five-part serials consisted of the Mathnet team, a branch of a big-city police department (Los Angeles' in the first fourteen mysteries, New York's in the last sixteen) confronting a crime, working their way through it, and eventually getting a notch on their calculators. The Mathnet mysteries always appeared at the end of Square One TV.

So, you ask, why the Mathnet guide at TV.com? Well, the popularity of Mathnet prompted it. Four official CTW specials presented four of the Mathnet mysteries in New York without interruption. And an outsider called GPN pressed for five older Mathnet mysteries to be presented as one-shot videos.

For the sake of the cities involved, synopses of these Mathnet mysteries will pinpoint locations and years or sections of years wherever possible.
