Show about three mystery solving teenagers 1970s?


My memory of this show is very hazy. It was probably on television in the late 1970s or VERY early 1980s. It was about three teenagerish crime solvers. One was a boy with brown hair, the other two were female, one with straight blonde hair the other with wavy brown hair. All I really remember about the show was that the three of them seemed to plan out most of there adventure from either a basement of an old building whose interior looked like a basement. The only other memory that I have of the show was an episode were they trapped on some kind of a roller coaster that appeared to be going through outer space (sounds vaguely like a scene from The Black Hole doesn't it?) Now, I saw this show a few times back in the late 70s or very early 80s. So, I am certain of its existence. However, my memories may have warped over time to include elements from other sources like The Black Hole which came out in 1979.

That's not it. It was WAY cheesier than that, but thanks for pointing that series out to me. I don't know how I missed it. I am going to start watching it.

No, that's not it, the kids were not Brits, there were only three of them and they were a little bit older, but I will watch that. Thanks

Worth a shot: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tomorrow_People

"The Tomorrow People" was on Nickelodeon in the 80s if I'm not mistaken. From what I recall, it was super dark and edgy for me as a 9 or 10-year-old kid...

I love The Tomorrow People. It was a super dark show (even the theme song was dark), but sadly that's not the show I am after as I have seen the Tomorrow people recently :(

reply

Not sure, but it sounds like a cool show. I'd love to figure out what it was.

reply

Anyone have any idea what this show was?

reply

Maybe “3-2-1 Contact”? Sounds a lot like it.

No, that's not it. I know that it isn't because this was my original post under a different name, but thanks for trying.
The show that I am looking for was a scripted action series that was made for kids.
BTW 321 Contact was a great show. I loved Danger Island too.

After 40 years of searching I finally found this show. It's called "Read All About It". It was a Canadian production that ran for two seasons beginning in 1979. The entire series is available on youtube if anyone is interested. I'm about halfway through season one, it's really dark and eerie, and it has some pretty heavy themes for a children show.
