Let's Make Contact

Short post today...I had a few too many cocktails this morning (yes...morning) and didn't make it to the internet cafe until now.  Actually, I'm just sitting in my car outside the joint right now.

Educational Television

The 1980s brought us a slew of television programming.  Sparked by the progression of satellite and cable television…it seemed like the airwaves were jammed with junk to watch.  Among all this crap was a show…an amazing show…an educational show…yes, I’m referring to 3-2-1 Contact.  3-2-1 Contact brought fun and science together in a way unheard of at the time.  That, plus a catchy opening theme song, made it the premier educational TV show of the 1980s.

Math and science reigned supreme on 3-2-1 Contact.  They didn’t care if kids could read…they cared for the philistines like myself.
