Man, I miss those days watching this! Fond memories.

[@jimoconnor6382]

I was still a kid growing up in this era again. No problems except worrying about school.

For my entire life, whenever someone says "I have a headache" to me, I either repeat what they said back to them in this guy's voice, or just hear his voice saying it in my head lol. It's been stuck there in my head decades, and no one EVER remembers what I'm talking about! So glad to finally find this online (I've tried to find it before with no luck) 👍.

0:00. Rare slow variant of the rare CTW Snake logo.

That "How Many Ways To Say I Love You" musical video was what the best part of the 20th Century looked and felt like. We were lucky to live in that beautiful 16mm world- I cherish being Gen-X more than anything else. To know how it felt when you'd turn the knob on the TV to PBS at 6pm every night and watch this program, then - a half hour of NOVA into - Dr. Who with Tom Baker at 7pm

Interesting variation in the intro. Near the end, the shot you normally see of an astronaut is replaced with a brass lathe, and the shot of a rocket taking off is replaced with a kernel of popcorn popping. I wonder if this is the original cut that got changed for some reason.

The baseball segment the players were Roy Jackson, Steve Henderson, and Alex Trevino.

When this first season began airing in repeats, I noticed that at one point, the "CTW" portion of the opening logo was a bit slower than any other time. That happened to be this particular episode, when poor Trini is caught stranded in a desert with an empty gas tank.

This was so informative in some aspects- seeing the deaf children trying to communicate was touching. But on the other hand, how did Trini get so far off the road in the "desert" (possibly some dune in Long Island) in that clunker car. And how does Mark strike up the acquaintance of Mummenzchanz?

That dude was totally flirting with Lisa ;-)

[@scottlyttle5586]

Can you blame him?

[@shawn_530]

She’s sexy

[@afwagner]

Do you have access to episode 162? My son is doing a project on kudzu, and the segment on it from 321 Contact is from that episode. Thanks!

[@Tubewings]

That's Roy Lee Jackson, not Reggie Jackson. Reggie was playing for the rival Yankees at the time. This was back when the Mets sucked. Some to think of it, they kind of suck nowadays.
