  • Holy crap. I totally forgot about this show until now. Nostalgia here we come!

  • Comment removed

  • I never missed an episode. My favorite show growing up. Kids in my class used to always wonder why I aced the Science test in school. 321 contact was the answer, but I didn't tell them that.

  • Contact may have been the reason why everything happens in the 80's and 90's but now with mind control, you don't have to make contact. You can think it and it happens.

  • This is definitely the best version of this theme. The other versions made changes that weakened the song. Especially removing that intro guitar riff...I mean...that riff MAKES the song!

  • back when pbs was worth watching everyday i stayed glued to pbs..

  • Almost everything about this show's intro reminds me of porn.

  • exciting!

  • I loved this show, and the music, but...am I the only one who thought the baby and the frog look alike?

  • We really need another show like this to get kids excited about science and engineering again. Surely there are technology companies out there who wouldn't mind talking to a kid interviewer for a few minutes.

    (Or is it really that hard now to find a kind who wouldn't be "too cool" to want to check out NASA?)

  • this intro music is amazing

  • I sampled this song a long time ago using Fruity Loops. Too bad I lost the file :(

  • The 80's were SO much better than today. Not as weird as the 70's, not as generic as the 90's and no OVER LOAD of information like nowadays. Yes, I do realize the irony as I'm typing this on the internet...

  • Fabulous show!

  • Bring this show again! It's better learning at home or wherever besides school!

    We love this show too much. It's just too awesome!

  • I remember this theme song more than the first one, but I kind of like the slower one better. The vocals have that touch. The main thing that always gets me is that "photon" synth effect when Childrens Television Workshop comes racing across the screen. Catchy!!!

  • I love the way the numbers zoom away !!! This takes me back to my childhood

  • I don't even remember what this show was about lol. But always like this song.

  • OMG! I was the same way! I loved the song... I watched it just for the song!

  • 1st mr rodgers neighborhood, 2nd reading rainbow, 3rd 321 contact, then i have to turn off the tv and do my homework

  • Haven't heard this in like 20years.  Sounds like porno music.

  • That baby is so cute

  • By far one of the best t.v. themes ever and from the CTW of all places the Electric Companies theme was awesome too.

  • The opening song was sped up after the first season.

  • Rope

  • Even though this was an 80s show the theme was so 70s.

  • Da reason 3-2-1 Contact's theme song sound'd 70s b/c its was MADE in 1979 when that and production [in general] wur goin' on b4 its Jan. 14, 1980 debut; makin' it 1 of da first TV show 2 air in da 1980s.

  • I miss this show so much.

    I can always remember the preview stuff they show from when I watched it as a kid. So awesome. I love the theme song...loved this extendamix version!

  • THIS ROCKS SO DID KIDS IN CORP.

  • God I Miss This Show, And I Still Wish That Old PBS Shows Like This One Was Still On TV.

  • This was one of my most favorite shows!

  • I remember watching this on PBS. I thought it was very educational for time. Like boilerplate alluded to below, most of the "educational" programs on TV these days are rather disapointing for teaching about science / math.

  • Nothing beats this intro!

  • wtf is this version, they rented a helicopter and flew out to hoover dam and west grand canyon..

    the frog is still spooky tho

  • I miss this show.

  • you have to admit that back when this came out people were very impressed with the music and i wanted to learn such cool stuff when i was a kid.

  • I miss that 70s disco guitar sound

  • Shame they don't have this kind of stuff on PBS nowadays. It's all sappy shows with guys in dinosaur/animal suits.

    I used to subscribe to the 3-2-1 contact magazine as well. wonderful memory of my childhood, thank you.
