Mathnet - The Case of the Missing Air (unedited) - Square One TV - 1988

[@mikewieczorek9831]

"Martha and I are going to the Flickers" "What are you going to see?" "A movie"

[@WhoDatGUL]

OH MY GOODNESS!! Thank you soooo much for posting these! God Bless you!

[@bobbob465]

"We stopped for George's shirts, but they weren't ready." So much for the old adage that the laundry will be ready by Tuesday.

[@owenpeterson]

Before there were internet trolls, there was Byle Dupe.

[@32rodrick]

@TVLubber The Black and White Police (1980 Dodge St. Regis) reminded me of the Classic police shows ADAM-12 (1968-1975) and T.J. Hooker (1982-1986).

[@alykgray]

I watched this show all the time in like 5th grade! may math teacher would show it to us and we were all obsessed lol. just recently I thought of it but couldn’t think of the name, and the only thing I could remember about the show was “he sounded like a duck” so I looked up math detective shows and found it yay

[@roygbivmlp]

God, so much nostalgia!

[@Nabinut]

Damn. Ron O'Neal AKA Superfly was on Mathnet!! Crazy!

[@rebeccahowe8927]

He is so good too!!! I wish he'd been in more episodes.

[@cllewis1]

22:00 - we haven't had much call for mathematicians since "Add 'em up" went off the air. "Add 'em up" was Wellworth Watching's show which was cancelled, which inspired him to rig the ratings system against Mike Pliers.

[@stargirlnextdoor]

Awesome trivia catch

[@bobbob465]

Listen to enough of Kate's intro monologues and you'll start choosing '43' every time someone wants you to pick a number between 1 and 100.

[@vanni9283]

This guys worse than Vicious Vinnie as far as I'm concerned! :-P

[@janeteggleston6978]

skiping the courtesy of yesterdays show bits is like having pizza and only eating the crust no flaver

[@funshine97]

@ 41:29 Did you realize that there's a Taco Bell restaurant in the background?

[@donmccullen1973]

Those Orange County FM stations might have been the inspiration of this story since KYUCK does not cover entire Los Angeles area. Most AM radio covers quite well.

[@9ansean]

They were both played by Bob Arbogast. He likely came to this show the sameway as Gerry Owen who did the voice of Dirk Niblick, both of whom had played regular characters on the 1960s tv series Roger Ramjet

[@9ansean]

I remember as I kid when I first heard the first cliffhanger line "He talked like a duck," I though "Of course, The Penguin did it!" LOL

[@nintendonerdsvideos4727]

as an adult watching this case for the first time, Gilbert Godfried did it

[@donmccullen1973]

42:23 Up with your Hands...Classic.

[@jamie408taylor]

BEST.SHOW.EVER!!!

[@32rodrick]

Spoof of the 1968-1975 Police Show ADAM-12

[@anthonyholmes195]

And Dragnet,1 Adam 12 was said on the radio on the episode of the stolen cars

[@Seminoleman86]

This takes me back to middle school watching this in 6th grade math class. Hahaha

[@Garrettk41]

I know that. I just put that down for the heck of it. I mean, if George had gone to the Actor's Guild with Kate, he almost definitely would have reminded her of that, knowing him. I figured we fans might as well play along.

[@VahanNisanian]

Fun little known fact: The "Founded 1985" date underneath the Mathnet logo is supposed to represent the year the original pilot for the show was shot.

[@vanni9283]

Was that the Missing Baseball case?

[@josephn.schneiderman8512]

@@vanni9283 It was. They filmed that in August of '85.

[@traviskemp5408]

Did anyone else notice at around the 5:34 mark, Kate & George said, “Yes, sir?” in unison, but at around the 7:20 mark, they said, “Yes, sir?” separately?

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

It's more like veteran people doing what they love to do best!

[@NickCMedia]

Just giving an estimate. The other "3" were unnecessary.

[@DrCrow13]

The time is always X:43. What a nice touch.😊

[@trent100100]

when they said the criminal sounded like a duck, I first thought that it would be Gilbert Godfried

[@MrGabeanator]

Aflac?

[@TheShesmovedon]

This is from a non-broadcast VHS tape and did not have the PBS logo.

[@trevorbrown_artist]

“Fill Up Pay Up & Get Out” #🤣

[@NickCMedia]

@32rodrick No. It's a spoof of Dragnet.

[@Garrettk41]

Trivia question: what do Byle Dupe and Mr. Beasley have in common?

[@funshine97]

They're voiced by Bob Arbogast

[@nintendonerdsvideos4727]

One of only 3 cases where they gave a specific amount of time in jail.

[@funshine97]

I know that a couple parts of this episode were aired on episodes 221 and 225 of Square One TV, but I can't seem to find those episodes anywhere. If only someone can upload those episodes of Square One TV...

[@donmccullen1973]

12:32 Looks like someone was about to use (breaths in) Naughty Words you can't say on this TV show.

[@Sukuun]

Boys and girls, I give you the G-rated version of Rush Limbaugh. Be very afraid.

[@colleen4ever]

Ya mean Howard Stern!

[@OneWeirdDude]

32:00 I always thought they should have asked Dupe's hours first, as he might have been lying.

[@donmccullen1973]

32:00

[@Garrettk41]

Anyone else wish we could have heard Byle's chicken and turkey voices as well?

[@NickCMedia]

Garrettk41 As if that makes any difference. Dupe used his duck voice when he committed the robberies. No others.

[@RobTFirefly]

Brilliant!!

[@cnj1000]

We're just going to pretend Ron O'Neal aka "Super Fly" was not in this episode? Y'all show some love, give the man his flowers.

[@jwavada]

I'm surprised George didn't do his trademark laugh when he said pencil.

[@NickCMedia]

John Wavada He didn't start doing his laugh until later in the season.

[@michaelglickman1300]

I'm surprised that Kate stated at the beginning that George never asks her about her weekend, when he did just that in "The Case of the Deceptive Data."

[@Garrettk41]

+Michael Glickman I don't remember it happening in that episode, but he asked her in the episode that came directly before this one, "The View From the Rear Terrace".

[@michaelglickman1300]

Garrettk41 He asked her about her weekend in the middle of his rant.

[@Garrettk41]

Gotcha. I haven't seen that one enough to keep track of those details.

[@josephn.schneiderman8512]

These episodes were filmed in one order and aired in another order-but I don't remember the specifics now.

[@BRadfrommalibu74]

I didn't know Lulu was in this episode!

[@trevorbrown_artist]

I love Clark bars. #🍭

[@michaelglickman1300]

Yes, that's correct.

[@Thompsonnw]

This comes from a VHS?

[@jpfswim3752]

Oh please tell me you have more episodes

[@Garrettk41]

The Case of the Smart Dummy, I think.

[@VahanNisanian]

Who was that yelling "Yeah? Well, you can take your jackhandle and..."? Also, anyone recognized Jim Thurman's voice, the guy saying "I left my heart in San Francisco"? It sure sounded like him.

[@NikitaFilatovFan3040]

Where`s the PBS 1989 logo?

[@VanillaLimeCoke]

40:00-40:10 Why is the store called 10-4 but then ------ ok actually the video is pretty blurry so it only appears like it is a 7-11 Slurpee cup on the counter?

[@jb888888888]

They probably used a local 7-Eleven for the location shooting, but changed the name per usual on TV shows (and PBS in particular). They just didn't redress that portion of the set.

[@NickCMedia]

But he had to stay at the office.

[@angelagoodwin5758]

Is that Ron O'Neal AKA Superfly?

[@owenpeterson]

@OneWeirdDude Yep.

[@ajcrdstr24]

Not the greatest time for a reminder about the Chicago Cubs... lol

[@namk19]

Aaron Creed no but it's now a good time to correct her right?

[@ajcrdstr24]

Ha, indeed!

[@11338325]

The robber would have done a terrible Donald Duck impersonation

[@jhillst]

Why is this mystery called "The Case of the Missing Air"?

[@SirChristopherGorton]

I also wanna see the trial of George frankly too.

[@Garrettk41]

23:20 And three, Kate. Remember?

[@dougmangum7997]

There are two real radio stations KYUK, AM & FM. There are in Bethel, AK. Bethel, AK was the site of the Taco Bell Hoax.

[@sprinter82]

Anyone know the deal with the guy who buys the Clark bar? It's gotta be something...

[@wschmrdr]

Same thing as the other stories, a dumb question, the person gets over it, and then gets held up. Surprised they didn't go for an accomplice.

[@Garrettk41]

Yup. Arbogast it is.

[@MrGabeanator]

BYLE DUPE you're under arrest for robbery you have the right to remain silent if you give up that right anything you say can& will be used against you in a court of law you have the right to an attorney if you cannot one we will provide one for you

[@JMFabiano]

What got edited?

[@VanillaLimeCoke]

Rofl 12:30-12:35

[@VanillaLimeCoke]

Something tells me he didn't like the Jack Handle

[@michaelt977]

that is funny!

[@JMFabiano]

But tv never poked fun at conservatives till 2016!!

[@MrGabeanator]

Disneyland fantasic

[@nintendonerdsvideos4727]

Rip Byle Dupe

[@JohnSmith-zw8vp]

35:56 -- And in this very year (1989?) Back to the Future 2 was only off by one year when the Cubs would again win the World Series! And in 2003 they did almost "win [NLCS] over Miami"! :D And you thought Doc Brown was aghast at the idea of "the actor!?" being President, less than a week after the Cubs' WS triumph, a casino guy was elected President! :D

[@Garrettk41]

Uh, I know that. I said IF!
