Does anyone else remember this show -I don't think I made it up.?

Question

It was called Square 1 and it was a show about math.I loved it and watched it faithfully when I was in elementary school. At the end of each episode, there would be a a spoof of Dragnet called "Mathnet" where they would solve crimes with math, The detectives were Kate Monday and George Frankly. I remember he'd answer the phone "Frankly speaking."

Nobody I've talked to remembers watching it as a kid. I want to know if you remember Square 1 and what stuck with you the most about it.

Answer 1

I love that show!!

Mathnet was the best. I watched it on the internet one day. And I loved the theme song.

Answer 2

Square One Television (sometimes referred to as Square One) was a children's television show produced by the Children's Television Workshop to teach mathematics and abstract mathematical concepts to young viewers.

Created and broadcast by PBS in the United States from 1987 to 1992, the show was intended to address the so-called "math crisis" among American schoolchildren. It has since been rated TV-Y7. The show was revived for the 1995-1996 PBS season as Square One TV Math Talk.

Square One was also shown on the U.S. cable television channel Noggin in syndication beginning in 1999, but was removed from its lineup along with other Children's Television Workshop shows on May 26, 2003.

Answer 3

Yeah, I remember it too. There's a ton of fuzzy half memories of educational shows that I watched after school (or during school sometimes) another is "Read all about it".

You can go to www.retrojunk.com and see the intros for a lot of old stuff that you've probably not though of in years.

Answer 4

I vaguely remember it. The dragnet part more.

Answer 5

I have never heard of it. Where did you grow up? Maybe it was a local show.
