- Square One TV's very first episode, with the song "That's Infinity," Battle of the Bulge Caterers coming up with combinations for meat and cheese sandwiches, and in Mathnet, part 1 of the Problem of the Missing Monkey. This is a repeat episode, so it does not have the original PBS logo.

I am instantly reverted back to my childhood .. They don't make programs like this anynore and it's a shame! PBS was the elite channel for kids tv..So great to see this again
Happy 30th anniversary, now let's get this on DVD and Blu Ray already.
I’m game.
But I think the problem is the music videos.
They’re copyrighted and I guess need to get the rights so they can get the show onto DVD.
I waited a long time for the complete 5 seasons of square one tv to come to dvd and blu ray for years
@@derekkinman7492 does that mean it has or that you've given up waiting?
@@Mythinspace every square one tv fans are still waiting for square one tv to be dvd and blu ray released cause they celebrated the 30th anniversary of square one tv
@@derekkinman7492 aww I was hoping I'd missed something and they were now available.
Why is this still entertaining after all of these years?!? It's a testament to how effective kids educational programing was back in the day... Engaging, fun, and smart. Shows like this need to make a comeback for kids of this day and age.
I dunno have you seen Number Blocks? Because that's teaching kids set theory at 6... and this is like "you can't count infinity." On the other hand, they really could use more Sesame Street .
I concur.
I was always amazed at how versatile these performers are. They sing, dance and act with incredible ease. Shout out to wonderful artists who don't find "Children's" television to be beneath them.

Awesome!
Love the song
Great song, Carol!
I had to watch this program in summer school camp.
Was it your idea to have the song spill over into the PBS ID at the end of the episode?
Oh wow it’s like I had amnesia and just remembered my whole life. Talk about a blast from the past.
I used to scream at the TV for Mathman to eat the right numbers.
mathman....mathman....mathman.....mathman....
Mathman always taught us how to be stupid at math, that's probably because I did poorly in school.
WOW, you took it bac bac. This show made me love math as a kid. Now I have a BS in Accounting and pursuing an MBA in Finance.
From the second half of the 80s to the start of the middle 90s I watched AN INCREDIBLE LOAD of PBS's Square One, Sesame Street and Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego.
I still REALLY like clips of each. Something so incredibly: cool, weird and academic in a PURE way about ALL of IT. lol!
When I was in middle school my math teacher always plays square one tv (I’m a junior in high school) it was a memory I won’t forget
Square One was the #SNL for kids in the 80s
+Earthdog BIG BROTHER FAN It was pretty amazing!
yup!
I thought that, too.
So then Roundhouse was the OG before In Living Color?
Facts!!
OMG Mathman! This was the sole thing I waited to watch in each episode. Nothing else mattered.
What a freaking blast from the past! Thank you so much for these uploads! Mathnet was the best!
This theme songs takes me back to Elementary school!!😊😊
It sure doesn't feel like it's been over 30 years since I last watched this.....scary how fast time flies once we stopped being kids. If I only knew how good we had it back then I would have enjoyed it so much more
Me 2
For realz!!!
This was absolutely one of my favorite after school programs! I learned a lot from this show!
You just made my day. I used to love this as a kid, and it wasn't on TV where I grew up, so my grandpa had to tape it for me. I must've watched the same 5 episodes over and over and over again on one shitty long play video cassette tape.
I'm almost 40 now, and the nostalgia is wonderful.
Wow some how at 34 this still keeps my attention. This was a great show.
Me too
Thanks heaps for putting these episodes on line. You're doing noble work
I was trying to teach my little boy about infinity and remembered the song from square one and here I am, reliving my childhood. 😀 such good times!
loved watching this on public TV on ch.13 at 5 p.m. way back when. good memories!
+Ntch Pt1 It's amazing how long these shows stick with you!
Wow a blast from the past. Man this was great. Thanks to the uploader.
Holy HECK I remember this!! But I forgot all about it until this second! Dude, Mathman!! And that inexplicably weird tornado guy!! AHHH MEMORY FEELS, FLOODING BACK ALL AT ONCE, DON'T KNOW IF CAN HANDLE
Thank you so much for the upload. I loved Square One, even now I randomly break into songs from the show! I can't find it anywhere else, so it means a lot to find it here. Thanks again for everything!
I thought this show was a fever dream! No one else seems to remember it!
I Remember Square One TV great Program
I love the music videos! i just told a friend about Less Than Zero yesterday, before I knew you were sharing these. Thank you!
This was the perfect late afternoon show for us teens who were too old for cartoons but not interested in the evening news
Omg! All these CTW uploads! I grew up in the Midwest with no cable access in the early 90’s so I learned everything from Square One and 3,2,1 Contact. My childhood exists on your channel 😄
This show, and Mathnet in particular, contributed to my quirky sense of humor. I used to love this and 3-2-1 Contact. It greatly contributed to my love of STEM and I ended up getting a BS in Chemistry and Biology.
Mathnet was awesome.
Watching this while solving some KenKen and Sudoku puzzles. Thank you Square One.
loved math net!!
That was my favorite part of the show.
I watched Square One just for Mathnet. It could've been its own show.
Square One Television had its roots in MTV, Broadway,
SCTV and Saturday Night Live! Providing young viewers
with mathematics and hilarious sketch comedy!

Thanks for this!
Whaaaat!!!‽ So I'm singing the "infinity" song in my head out of the blue, and I decide to search for square one, just for the nostalgia and I couldn't believe my luck when I pressed play on my 1st result on UA-cam and it was the exact episode with the exact song I was singing in my head. Awesoooooome. You have a new subscriber. Awesome page.
I never once found this on television.
They played Square one during summer school when it was too hot to go outside.
Jesus christ, it's like I'm 6 again
i used to watch this show at my grandparents house after school in 1988
I never realized it until recently but, in the opening credits, the spiraling squares with clips from the show form a Fibonacci sequence.
There is a reference to that in future Rama
I vaguely remembered this from when I was very young so I looked it up. I remember “square one!” From the title. Very impressive show.
This takes me back!!!! Thanks for bringing back the nostalgia to my eyes!!! 🙌
This show is what encouraged me to get a career in being the programmer for writing business applications for companies years ago. That and writing video-games too.
Watched this religiously as a kid, didn't care for the Mathnet back then but I'll never forget that is where that if any multiple of 9 returns to 9 if you add the answer of those numbers together until you get a single number. For example: 9 times 88 = 792. 7+2 is another 9 which plus the first 9 is 18, 1+8=9.
Searching4Rinoa 9,9,9...fantastic number 9! Times any number you can find, it all comes back to 9!
I absolutely LOVED Mathnet. But to be honest, this entire show was the bees knees. If I were to put my finger on the main reason why I loved this show, it was the presentation. There was quite a variety to it. It was engaging.
OMG... This takes me waaaaaaaaay back. I was trying to remember what the segment was with Joe Howard (he's in S2:E4 of American Horror Story) I was like... "IS THAT JOE WALSH???" and here we are. Confirmed. Now I have to see how many episodes I actually faintly remember. Glad someone posted this!! Thank you Anton.- MATHNET!!!!
Wow, for me, this was like close to 40 years ago! I loved this show!!!
Amazing! I watched this when i was a kid, im going to have to watch all these again as an adult!
This is my all-time favorite kids’ show!!! (But in case anyone is looking for a math show that is more current, I have to say that Odd Squad is pretty great too.)
Ahhh....I remember coming home to watch this show, "Reading Rainbow" and "Wishbone" to name a few that aired at the time. Don't get me wrong I did watch all the other cartoons (and In Living in Color) but I learned a great deal from "Square One" like what is a Dodecahedron. Good times!!
I'm back in my childhood again!!!! Man this just made my night!!!! 😍😍😍😍
I don't know who you are but I love you for posting this!! My 4 year old granddaughter is in loveeeee with these episodes in 2021
Love this. Brought back memories. Thanks for posting the vid.
The shopkeeper in Math Net was the "ASSMAN" in a Seinfeld episode!
Worlds colliding 😂
PBS would make so much $ if they released the series on DVD.
Someone watching these videos must have worked on the show or knows someone who did.
It's so cute when Mathman goes like, "Ya-ha!"
This show came to mind out of nowhere. I had completely forgotten about it until 5 minutes ago.
Soooooo many memories!! That intro theme song gave me all kinds of flashbacks!!
Happy 35th anniversary Square One TV! Wed 1/26/22.
Perfect for Distance Learning for my kids. Now they get to grow up doing what I did.
That Square One TV song, "That's Infinity", drives me crazy!
I've learned new things about mathematics from this but the schools I attended never taught us square, prime, palindrome & triangular numbers.
Mathman: "Free Game! Ha-Ha!
me: "Yay for Mathman!"
This show reminds me of the many times I stayed home from school "sick" lol. Id always watch this in the afternoon.
Thank you Grumps! Glad to know I'm not the only one who remembers this show!
Another blast from my childhood. The early '90s 🥰🤩
this week 30 years ago, Square One TV premiered on PBS!
Should have a billion views. That song is great at the beginning, nice job Carol. Nice job to everyone involved
ah life before caller ID.
This show was excellent. I can do long multiplication and division in my head because of this show. I'm going to make sure my daughter watches it after school every day just like I did.
As someone who was a freshman in college when this show debuted, all I can say is this was really cute, and I would've loved it if CTW had done something like this in the 70s. I only know about this show because I've seen the special PBS logo done for this episode, so I wanted to see what you kids saw.
I also have to say: Ha! Mr. Whipple! Hahahaha! Did the monkey squeeze any Charmin?
Thank You Anton Spivack For Bringing Us Great Memories
What a great TV show. It recalls all those math teaser when I was at the elementary school
Watching "The Wire" tonight and wondering why Reg. E Cathey looks so damned familiar... Proceeds to look through his IMDB and find a forgotten part of my childhood afternoons with PBS.
He had a great career after Square One.
Mike you knows up!! Thanks for this 🖤
Oh mannnnn, Mathnet. Wow. The music. Those faces! This is nuts to watch for the first time in probably 30 years.
Thanks so much for posting this! Loved this show.
i lovethis! watched it when i was young
I’m in 2 grade and our class loves this
Decided I'd go ahead and go back to part of my past that I remember, but I was a bit too young to understand the math concepts of this at the time. It always aired right after Where In The World Is Carmen San Diego came on on my local PBS station.
Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego was an awesome game show.
The US debt? "Add one to it".
And on, and on, and on, and on...
MrPisster it will never ends...
@@dianaprince4011 Eventually it will end. No empire lasts indefinitely.
Might as well be as I dont think we will ever see it ever start going down.
man this takes me back, as a 90’s kid with 80’s kid cousins who needed help on Math.
Even Carmen Sandieago
Helped Me In School
And Square One
Helped Me In Elementary School
Square One was My School Assignment Almost Everyday
What I loved about Square One TV: Mathnet, Mathman, Backstage with Blackstone, & of course "Nine, nine, nine fantastic number nine times any number you can find it all comes back to nine!"
They really need to bring back this TV program to a newer generation of audience! I am really feeling bad that I totally missed out on this amazing program. These kids today need to know that mathematics is absolutely amazing and awesome! (I was born in January 1993.)
24:25 "Maybe he was going to toss his salad" LMAO!
It took me watching Dragnet episodes to get the intro to Mathnet but now it is hilarious! Kate Monday is a play on Joe Friday!
Gotta be honest. I loved watching this show as a kid but when it came to the math, I had no idea what was going on.
"Well, am you or ain't you? ...I mean, aren't you?'' LOL
I remembered watching this program on television.
I’ve been looking for this for so long
Been trying to think of this show forever! Childhood reloaded!!!
Square One was a great show…and my god was there some loving going on with the cast members.
I used to watch this show after school everyday. I loved Mathman!
29:02 is the 1989 PBS “Glass” logo where it plastered over the 1984 PBS logo variant “And On”. How sad. I wonder if the 1984 PBS “And On” variant exists in the PBS vault if they want this episode restore with the 1984 PBS logo preserved.
From the production company that brought you “Sesame Street”, “The Electric Company” and “3-2-1 Contact” comes “Square One TV”!!
To this day whenever I hear someone say "My name is _______," in my head I follow it with "I'm a mathematician."
Good on you.
I had a huge crush on Kate Monday 😂
If the kids today had this kind of show on maybe just maybe the school system wouldn't be what it is today...Bad!!!
Mathnet was the Bloodhound Gang of Square One TV!
Wow,that took me back to when I was a kid. That was great.
I remember this episode. They must've had it repeat a lot. Took me back when i watched this ever day after school.
Square One Used To Help Me Do My Homework Thank You Square
One I will Miss You So Much
4:22 I loved the Mathman/ Mr. Glitch shorts.
The instructions sure sound like the voice actor of Inspector Gadget (Don Adams).
Think of a number. Subtract the same number. Wow, no matter what number you picked, the answer is zero! How amazing!
