bring 321 back!

I was obsessed with PBS back in the 1980's, and 3-2-1 Contact was my favorite of them all. (If i can remember correctly, the 1981-82 show line-up back then was as follows: sesame street, mr. rogers, electric co.(rerun), 3-2-1 contact, and nova), Id watch the show religeously as a 3-7 year old along with so many others back in the day that made learning a total blast! Im glad to know there are still some people my age and older that actually remember Bloodhound Gang as a segment on the show instead of that godawful 90s band from PA.(no offense to the younguns:p) If there are any petitions going on in cyberspace to bring 321 on DVD, let me know so i can sign my name ASAP.

PBS had some of the BEST viewing. I'm amazed I ever got any homework done in school or college!

I still find myself singing "we're the bloodhound gang...." theme song (scary)

Early ("Classic") Sesame Street, Electric Co., Villa Alegre, 3-2-1- Contact, ZOOM and even good old Fred Rogers made for creatively awesome TV. Too bad they don't make shows like this anymore

"HEY YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!"

It would be lovely if they brought this show back. Unfortunately, it is unlikely that even if they did bring it back, that it would do well. The mindless idiocy of shows like Spongebob and other bizarre/grotesque shows that air on channels such as Nickelodeon and it's subsidiaries have overtaken much of the children's market, and parents today just don't have a clue as to what they are subjecting their children to, and therefore wouldn't see the value in a wholesome show like 3-2-1 Contact! This was a show that I grew up watching and adored. The show that came after it that was the closest to it seems to be Bill Nye the Science Guy, and even that show wouldn't have a chance in today's market.

It's all about being provocative and stupid and grotesque today in order to make things sell. No one wants to use their minds and be creative and think anymore. And therefore, children don't learn. Is it any wonder that America's children have some of the worst education levels in the world?

Your bullcaca argument (have you ever even seen any shows on TV for kids recently, or are you just being a stupid troll obsessed with the past?) shows why what you want should never happen.

I'm not gonna say don't revive it but for anyone who wants to see that happen, it's not gonna be like it was 35 years ago.
