This [[PBS]] series, created by the [[Sesame Workshop|Children's Television Workshop]], was the CTW's 1980s attempt to engage young viewers in science. The original series lasted from January, 1980 to November, 1988. Edited versions of older episodes were broadcast to 1992.
To that end, ''3-2-1 Contact'' took the equivalent format of ''[[Sesame Street]]'' and adjusted it for a preteen audience with comedy sketches, cartoons as well as demonstrations of scientific principles not only on the set, but also in filmed segments in which the hosts went around America to explore interesting things about science.
Line 12:
The show also had a tie-in magazine that ran about ten years longer than the original series (although it became rechristened as ''Contact Kids'' near the end of its publication).
Nothing to do with the 1997 movie with Jodie Foster.

* [[Mickey Mousing]]: The 1983-86 version of the intro does this.

* [[Retool]]: The first version was of three college-age kids and a fancy college study-house, then there was a second version with younger kids in a plain basement playroom. The show was retooled a second time in 1986 (season 5), being hosted by David Quinn and taking place mainly on-location.
* [[Scooby-Doo Hoax]]: The Bloodhound Gang exposed a few of these.
