3-2-1 Contact is an American science educational reality television show which aired on PBS from 1980 to 1988. The show, a production of the Children's Television Workshop, taught scientific principles and their applications. Dr. Edward G. Atkins, who was responsible for much of the scientific content of the show, ascertained that the TV program wouldn't replace a classroom but open the viewers to ask questions about the scientific purpose of things. Hechinger, Fred M. (10/02/1984), About Education; Forgotten TV Audience: Children "The New York Times", page C.9. Accessed on August 14, 2007 .
In this series, we follow the explorations of kids as they explore science in its various fields with experiments, films, cartoons and demonstrations. To highlight these principles application in an entertaining way, we also watch the cases of the Bloodhound Gang, a group of kids who are junior detectives for a private detective agency who use simple scientific knowledge, research and deduction to solve the crimes they encounter.
