Childhood Memories Revisited

I was elated today when I was finally able to find a video clip of the old PBS math show Square One on YouTube today! I never watched for the math, of course... LOL... I only watched because there was a specific sketch that I enjoyed called "Mathnet," which was set up like a mystery/detective story. Agents Monday and Friday were always on some case and I loved to watch to see it resolved. I watched it when I was about 7 or 8, but even at a young age I loved detective stories and a good mystery. I've embedded the clips of the Square One theme song and also a "Mathnet" sketch. ;)



Another show that involved a deal of detecting and "investigative" work was "Where In the World Is Carmen Sandiego?" I watched this between the ages of about 8 and 11. My parents bought the different games for our family PC and I practiced my detecting skills while learning my geography (a much easier area for me than math!) and about different cultures. The rain reminded me of the show because I wore a trench coat. Any young person of my generation who ever watched the show or played the computer game knows that Carmen Sandiego always wears a trench coat (although mine is khaki and hers is red). LOL...
