Square One TV intro and closing 1991

[@threestoogesfan2000]

I wish they made a Retro PBS, so we 90s kid(s) can relive those memories

[@janiedoe264]

I Wish that Dish Network Would have a Network that Has Only OLD SCHOOL PBS Shows Like This One, And, Mister Roger's Neighborhood, Captain Kangaroo, Sesame Street (Before it got Crappy), Shining Time Station, Tales From The Treehouse, Is-land Treasure, Star Lore, Storylords, Once Upon A Time (I'm not talking about the one of the same name that's on Netflix), Newton's Apple, Zooblee Zoo, Reading Rainbow, Between The Lions, Wishbone, Zaboomafoo, Storytime (I also still wish that there should be a remake of This AWESOME show, and have Present Day Celebrity's Reading the Books to the kids, Like Dustin Hoffman, Natalie Portman, Sigourney Weaver, Adam Driver, Mark Hamill, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, etc, etc), The Letter People, Read It, Cover To Cover, The Book Bird, The Frougal Gourmet, and Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego, Because Kids Today Don't Know What Good TV Shows are These Days, All There is on TV is the Crappy Shows, Like The Lion Guard, Elena Of Avalor, etc, etc, also All there is on Dish Network Is, "Hallmark Drama" and "The Justice Network".

The golden age of PBS kids shows.

[@martinmoore2468]

I used to watch it years ago. It was my all-time favorite PBS show ever.

[@HuskyDog88]

Whoa! Now this version of the theme song REALLY sounds like “Celebration” by Kool and the Gang, especially with the singing!

[@riod43]

2018 RIP, Reg E Cathey

[@LannyHeidbreder]

I remember being livid when I first saw this version of the theme song as a kid. Watched it just now for the first time since then and I was totally, totally right. The original was way better.

[@davidmoore535]

I used to love Square One TV!! And I still do!!

You and me both.

[@retronickmusic]

I don't remember this synth version with a guitar solo! This was off the hook! 🎹 🎶 🎸

[@mr.tomraypaz6085]

Watched this when I was a little kid. Even though I was too young to really learn anything from it, I found it enjoyable. Then years later, they started showing it on Noggin.

[@janiedoe1542]

R.I.P OLD SCHOOL PBS SHOWS, like this one, and Once Upon A Time, Star Lore, Storylords, Shining Time Station, ECT ECT.

[@martinmoore2468]

Janie Doe I really miss the old PBS show. I just they just rerun them again.

[@ir10031981]

intro: 1991-1992 (season 4) the last year of the Sesame Street Funky Chimes at the closing credits of the program, Columbia Pictures Television went bylineless, and the last year where CPT used Upper and Lower case blue/ivory letters and the old Torch Lady before capitalizing the CPT lettering and using a new version of Torch Lady.

[@DimeraFan28]

Man, I've been looking all over for this, Oh Btw I'm still wondering where the cast of Square One TV is now, Years Later?.

[@Raymel2366]

This 'Square One' theme 1991 is a heck of a lot better than the original. (1987)

[@DJDizzyStorms]

They need to bring this show back.

[@janiedoe3450]

+ Dizzy Storms, You (excuse my Language) Damn Right They Need To Bring This and other OLD School P B S shows on TV Or at Least on a DVD/BLUE-RAY Box set.

[@DJDizzyStorms]

+Janie Doe Its Jake I'm an adult so I can handle it.

[@michaelglickman1300]

Yeah, but only in reruns. I can't really see them doing a new version with an entirely different cast, particularly in the "Mathnet" segments.

[@1987tvfreak]

Square One was long gone by 1997.

[@janiedoe1542]

Brandon Hill, I wonder where the Cast of Square One TV is now?, 18 years later.

[@MrSamer83]

Actually it ended in 1992 😔

[@michaelglickman1300]

@@MrSamer83 Yup, CTW cancelled it that year in order to free up funds for "Ghostwriter."

[@untexan]

This was the point in the show where the whole half hour was basically Dirk Niblick and Mathnet

[@janiedoe1542]

God I wish that This show and other OLD SCHOOL PBS SHOWS was on Netflix.

[@michaelglickman1300]

Never mind Netflix.They should really be on DVD/Blu-Ray.

[@janiedoe1542]

Michael Glickman yeah, that too.

[@threestoogesfan2000]

Or Amazon Video, I don't care how much, I want to relive all that

[@DreFromMaine8472]

This was the second version of the opening theme song, I like the first one a little bit better. Also, I never liked that Mathnet moved from L.A. to New York and I never liked Pat Tuesday as much as Kate Monday. Oh welll!

[@janie-dawndoe4806]

This Show and Other Old PBS Shows Has Got To Come On Netflix.

[@Ian16545]

If it's called _Square One TV,_ then it needs a sign-off: Any cast member (I personally prefer Reg, Arthur, Beverly or Cris): This concludes another broadcast day here on _Square One TV,_ America's favorite mathematics channel. 100% of this station is owned and operated by the Children's Television Workshop, with transmitter atop Fibonacci Mountain and studios and offices at 1 Lincoln Plaza in Downtown New York City. _Square One TV_ operates on an assigned frequency of 150,000 megahertz (and all its multiples thereof), by authority of the Federal Mathematics Commission. Some of today's programming, including portions thereof, has been recorded (unless you did it on a VCR already). No part of this telecast may be used for any reason (and it better be good!) without permission of CTW (because if there's one thing we can't stand, it's second-rate wannabes!). We will return to the air tomorrow with more of the very best in action, drama, laughter and mathematics. Now speaking for the entire staff and management of _Square One TV,_ this is (insert cast member's name here), wishing you a very pleasant good night-and good math.

[@michaelglickman1300]

Really clever. I've always wondered if it should have been more like "SCTV."

[@TeshawnEdmonds]

Ian Sherman At least a bit of modification would be required for our viewers born after season 1997-1998 by replacing Children's Television Workshop with Sesame Workshop & replacing VCR with DVD/Blu-ray &/or DVR.

[@brandonreina7627]

But Republic Pictures Home Video released a few VHS tapes of Square One TV, Mathnet and Ghostwriter in 1998 with the funding credits intact. Check Amazon or eBay for those which are out of print.

[@PIXPromosMore]

Maybe it was in reruns until '97?

[@1987tvfreak]

TVTestKitchen It was in reruns until 1994 and then gone from PBS.

[@robertcarldecker]

Noggin aired reruns from 1999-2003.
