I love Square One! And Sesame Street! But P-C, the Bloodhound Gang was on 3-2-1-CONTACT! (which I also loved).
Oh duh. Cause it was also in the magazine, until they replaced it with something far inferior, whatever it was.
I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

Mathnet also appeals to grownups. Though I was too busy looking for the UST between the two detectives. I'm a sick, sick woman. Fibonacci sequence, yeah. Which I never did see the point of. How sad is that, that a grade school TV show had math toughter than I could grok.

They replaced it with that time travel thing. I don't remember what it was called. The main characters were named Jenny and Sean, and their time-travel thing was never described as anything other than "the tachyon device." Time Team? Something like that? They met Da Vinci once.
You know, I could really use the brain space storing that information for much more useful purposes.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
It was a math show, for elementary school kids, in the mid to late eighties, and maybe early nineties. They'd have music segments, and some other little things, and an ongoing Dragnet parody called Mathnet (with Sergeant Monday) where the detectives would have to use different math skills to solve the crimes. (And it was usually something interesting, like breaking a code, not just arithmetic.)
Speaking of crazy coincidences... You too can download parts of old Mathnet episodes!
George Frankly! Aww. Love him.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Hell, even I loved Mathnet. I didn't believe any of it, mind you, but I adored the writing and the satire.

Anybody want to beta my "Alice Hoffman" story? I'm such a little faker...first David Simon, then Alice Hoffman...Oh, and Philip Roth. Someday I'm gonna be a big, grown-up writer and have a voice of my very own.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
In my attempt to fix the pacing problems with Lucy by opening with an extensively rewritten version of the former Ch. 3, I've managed to move the first meeting between the hero and heroine from p. 63 to p. 24.
If nothing else, that has to be an improvement.
