3...2...1...contact

Back in the day, PBS had a science show geared toward kids called 321contact

3-2-1 Contact

I remember an animated short during an early ep. showing how the world around us would change if time were “sped up”.

Anyone know the name of this short (so I can look it up on YouTube)?

I can’t help you, but now I have the theme song stuck in my head, so thanks for that.

Whenever there’s trouble
We’re there on the double.
We’re the Bloodhound Gang.
I used to watch this and Square One religiously. I was a nerd from very early on.

Years back, my girlfriend & I always answered the phone (when we knew it was the other calling) by reciting the Bloodhound Gang office-phone-answering-spiel; the other would always say “May I speak to Mr. Bloodhound?”
