- 3-2-1 Contact episode 102 from Noisy and Quiet from 1980. You see how deaf people uses a hearing aid with amplifier to try to speak to a word. Mark, using a device to measure how loud it is in decibals. a unique microphone that is used in football games.
Back in 1980's when the teacher wheeled the tv into the room on a Friday to watch 321, one of the best times ever! Lord I miss the 80's
We long to go back to the 80s and quality shows like this and many others. I miss the bloodhound gang solving mysteries.
My teacher did same. 11am
Best times for sure!!😊
The janitor/custodian was in charge of wheeling-in the TV on the tall wobbly stand at our school, but yes, it was never a "bad" thing; ... It was the opposite (in our minds) of the dreaded overhead projector, which meant copying things (in the dark) onto lined-paper. God help you if you forgot to bring a pencil and an eraser.
Butterfly in the sky, I can fly twice as high. Take a look, it's in a book...
In 1980, I was 6 when this show came out, I'm 49 now. And I must have seen each episode at least 10 times, especially when I was playing hooky from school.. Rewatching this now all I can ask is, "How long am I going to have it's theme stuck in my head! Ha Ha Ha!
What a great show, I and my sister loved it. I think I had a crush on Ginny Ortiz, who played Trini, as well as Liz Moses who played Lisa.. I also loved "The Bloodhound Gang" ( I need that released on Blu-ray or something) that aired with 321-Contact.
PBS shows were a big part of my child hood development, My parents never got cable until I was in college, so I grew up with only 5 or 6 channels, and PBS was on a lot during the day. Between Mr. Rogers, and Sesame Street, The Electric Company, From Cover to Cover, (also known as Readit). even to when I was in Junior high in 1988 and I pretended to be sick for a week, and watched "the Power of Myth" with Joseph Campbell around 1 pm.. I have a lot of fond memories attached to all those PBS shows..
Yet not all those memories are connected to happy times. I notice they always seem to be when I was out of school, away from teachers, and schoolmates.
I keep seeing people commenting in these vids, talking about what simpler times the 80's were.. I'm like wow, I'm glad you remember it that way, but sadly I don't share that sentiment, I remember to much, I wish I had that total myopic nostalgia that a lot of people seem to have. I think it often comes with age, when people look back at their childhoods. There is nothing wrong with that, Just don't let it turn into the grumpy old persons "Back In My Day!!" grumble ..
For my father, His Nostalgia, was for the child hood he had in 1940's and the 1950's of his teen years, and in his later years as he mellowed it became more about those who were no longer with us anymore.
What's funny is how as I now see my fellow Gen X'er's forget a lot, as we enter our middle years, many talk like my dad did, when he was a middle aged man back in the 1980's, about his golden days, just as many X'er's seem to see the 1980's now, as their golden time, a kinder gentler decade. I've even heard older Millennials starting to feel the same way about the 90's and 2000's. I get it there are things I miss as well, and looking at our childhoods and youth will do that, because for each person those are their golden times.. Mine are scattered throughout all the decades I've lived so far..
Yet the 1980's were not a kinder or gentler time for me, it was, especially not in school..
That all being said, It's not that I only remember the bad things, I just feel every era in time is a mixed bag, and I remember both parts equally, the golden, and not so golden, and yes, things change, and people pass, like both my mother, and father. In a lot of ways my childhood was quite idyllic, and I have a lot of great memories with them and my sisters, and oddly this show is a part of those memories..
Sorry for the long rant. I Guess I was just making contact.
I share these sentiments. Thanks for sharing. I long to go back to those days. We never knew how good we had it at the time.
21:55 - 22:15. Those 20 seconds of this episode may well sum up the beauty of a time that we will never witness again. I am so glad I lived those years. I just wish I could have understood the importance of that period of time in my life, and how fast those times would fade away. I really think Lisa knew what she had at that very moment. I watch these episodes for the mental time travel. It takes me back to a world that is much kinder, gentler and emotionally healthy.
I'm 50yrs old and agree 💯. Miss those times
In 1980, I was 6 when this show came out, I'm 49 now, what a great show.
I wish I had the total nostalgia that others seem to have for the 80's, they were not a kinder time for me, nor was it an emotionally healthy time either, especially in school, yet in a lot of ways my childhood was very idyllic, and I have a lot of great memories, and this show was a part of those memories..
@@robrogalski4681 Thanks for sharing.
"As I sloshed, I knew such lovely pictures..."
Man, this makes me feel old. One of my favrite shows as an 80s kid.
This show premiered in 1980 when I was in the third grade! I was 9.
@@ochsj1971 I was 4 years old! As the youngest of five siblings I was always having to fight to get to watch shows on PBS. I usually lost.
Although, now that I think about it, in 1980 we didn't have cable and our only UHF station was PBS so maybe I won more than I think. Anything was better than the news.
@@Redfoot138 I remember fighting with a friend that always wanted to watch Happy Days in the same time slot as 3-2-1 Contact.
I had such a f****** crush on that Asian chick I mean I was literally having a f****** hard on man
@@JoelMelcosky oh yes back in the day man when you can f*** a 16 year old girl and then have to worry about going to jail before they got tough with the age of consent laws
Used to watch this show as a kid, around '79-'81. I even subscribed to their magazine. Great show for kids featuring cutting edge science stuff! Great to see this. Thanks, pressmin!
Kids for all ages, these remain fun after all this time. Do modern "kid shows" even compare?
I love the lifestyle portrayed here! The young man is reading a book with the TV OFF. His roommates are courteous enough to ask before disrupting him, and the ladies are the sports fans! I want to move in with them! ♥️👸🏾
I was born in 76 . I still remember this and every now and again I find myself humming 3 2 1 contact to myself
Same, same and also same. That opening montage burned itself into my little brain. Haven’t seen it in 35 years but I can see why, bc it’s really a pretty intense opener.
SAME!
Lisa, Trini, & Mark are so cool! A group of people I wouldn't mind hanging out with!
I remember this show as a kid. Never knew of later seasons until recently, but those were never as good as the original.
this reminds me of rainy days in 2nd grade, teacher would wheel in the media cart we would watch this instead of recess
Sounds like you're about my age. I was in 2nd grade and very into this show in 1979-80. I sure remember fondly those wheely media carts!
Man I miss the 80's. I was 10 in 1980 and I remember this and the bloodhound gang like it was yesterday.
I had a phenomenonal childhood growing up in Far Rockaway Queens NY...
I remember watching this everyday...
Simple times ...
No one will evwr understand just how much I loved this show as a kid. I watched from the first episode. I loved it more than Mr. Rogers Neighborhood, Sesame Street, The Muppet Show and even Mr. Wizard, this show was my fav and the Bloodhound Gang was my fav segment of it! I miss those days.
This was an awesome show! Loved watching this when I came home from school weekdays! Loved Lisa, Trini, Mark, and the Bloodhound Gang! Liked this as much as The Electric Company, Square One TV, & Degrassi Jr. High! Interesting segment on how sensitive people can be to loud noises!
Use to watch this as a child, I remember one episode they went to a Kiss show and I thought that was the greatest of all.
OMG! I loved this program as a kid!
The intro of this show just enlighted memories I forgot 30 years ago! 😱
Then Marc (Leon Grant) busted out in 1984 in Beat Street. My childhood revolved around that movie and this TV series. Oh the 80's...
My kids are 6 and 3 and they BOTH love Beat Street...Lol!
And Ginny was the candy store clerk in Warriors... Talented cast season 1 had.
@@lexdiggy and the sub show "the Bloodhound Gang" Rembrandt was one of the group
@@lexdiggy PS: Marc (Leon Grant) was in the Warriors too. He was a gang member with the Panzers in the opening minutes.
RIP Leon Grant . Died in Hawaii
A longtime friend of mine who I practically grew up with is deaf. His speech had gotten so much better through the years. He actually taught me some sign language.
Thank you very much for putting this on here. Im now watching 1 or 2 a day, i really love and miss this show
the beginning of the episode reminds me of a Three's Company scene
I was thinking the same thing!
Funny you say that as I feel the same way!
They're all Brooklyn kids so the gals was just breakin' balls.
Love it! I used to watch this show all the time. So many memories. Thanks for the upload.
One of the best songs ever. Contact!
This show sparked an interest in learning as much as I could about this wonderful world we live in. I was 11 or 12 when this show came out. I loved science, especially physical science. I think I learned more from this series than I did in school about science. I wish shows like this still existed. i'm sure with some digging I could find videos on CZcams that are science based. But 3-2-1 Contact did such an awesome job of keeping my interest and teaching me science and other subjects that i feel it would be hard to match.
It melts my heart to see the little deaf girl trying so hard to say "afternoon."
That segment made me wonder how those children’s lives turned out. Hopefully they’re doing well.
I was 15 at the time this show was airing on TV. It was my favorite educational show.
Loved this series💕3-2-1!!!
thank you so much for posting these. watching with my 10 year old. Memories for me, fascinating content for him.
Yep, still have a crush on Lisa. Thanks for posting!
Me too!
ditto
Indigo Sunset
I liked both Trini and Lisa. The show went to pot after they disappeared.
Dam you tube has everything that's on your mind its amazing.
Chris Thompson no Bree, she was more game
Omg. Now I know where I got my passion for adventure! Seeing these guys do so many amazing things. Wow! This show us still teaching me.
Never knew about that parabolic microphone.
Haha Trini, now I know who set the type for all my girlfriends.
Absolutely loved this show when I was a lad. Interesting to notice Blossom Dearie's voice at about 12:16. She was a great singer and pianist, but you might know her better as one of the singers for Schoolhouse Rock--she's the one singing Pack Up Your Adjectives (among others!)
Thanks for sharing this. To this day I still say, 3 2 1 contact.
I sort of had a TV crush on Lisa as a kid. Trini was cute too. They still are cute of course!
Trini and Lisa were pretty cute. I hated it when they brought in a new cast and changed the setting to a garage
I think Lisa was my first crush as a kid. Trini was cute too of course. You can tell they have some slammin bodies underneath those big clothes lol
@@will.a.benjamin I had friends and I don't think I ever argued with THEM about this, but I literally remember "arguing" with myself (silently in my mind of course) on who I had the biggest crush out of both of them because they were both pretty awesome!!! lol
That lady teaching the kids looks exactly like actress Sandra oh. Loved watching this as a kid especially the bloodhound gang . Loved Ricardo on bloodhound then that silly awful warriors . Saw Mark on both bloodhound and beat Street Loved beat street.
This show begins with an on air promo, followed by the original CTW snake logo and the original 3-2-1 Contact theme song and vocal lyrics in the title sequence. This program was originally produced for PBS, as Noisy and Quiet is what this episode is all about. Sesame Workshop now produces 3-2-1 Contact, as this show's complete series is not yet available on DVD. Thank you for posting.
My pbs station in Boston used this air this show when I was 7 in 1991 good show 😈
The original cast of the show is what I remember most.
I'm only here for The Bloodhound Gang! #🔎
In that case, you best get goin'! The game is afoot🤣
This is reminding me of the Sesame Street E&B skit where they put on too much stuff and the fuse flows out.
Ernie and bert Christmas special
@@americanidol434 It was not that. What reality do you live in?
Wow. The theme song just brought nice memories.....sigh
I remember this show as a kid i was like 8 or 9 yrs old..I had a major crush on
❤Trini❤ hahaha
Gotta love the 80's!!!
Trini was a smokeshow! Love those big brown eyes
Man I loved this show
Can believe I forgot about this. Man I'm old lol
This show makes me feel young again as I was 8&1\2 and in 3rd in January of 1980 when it 1st premiered!
I'd just turned 8 the month previous. Makes me feel young again, too ;-)
come on Sesame Workshop, you released The Best Of The Electric Company and Sesame Street Old School, when will you release on DVD 321 Contact?
I actually have sesame street old school on dvd.
Very good point! Excellent point right there! I would be way more than glad to own 3-2-1 Contact on DVD!
Brian Husar
How about "the blood hound gang"
Austin Simmons
Would love a 3-2-1 contact tee shirt.
I have a suspicion they won't because the scientific information on the show is now very dated.
There were a few deep moments in this episode.
Looking back in time from the future. Today we're concerned about the color of our skin. Back then it didn't seem like that was an issue.
A lot of shows try to make education and learning seem cool. This show seemed to achieve it effortlessly.
I watched it on TV but I don't remember scanning it at school.
Love the people who made the connection to The Warriors and Beat Street!
Anyone remember a show on PBS in the early 80s where these kids ran a radio station? The only episode I remember was pretty scary. One of the young girls accepted a ride home from an older man, and she was assaulted. I tried a Google search, but I don't know if I have the title of the show correct. I thought it was the call letters of the radio station, KIDS.
KIDS Incorporated?
great memories from my childhood
I had the hugest crush on Trini.
As I'm rewatching this episode of 321 and watching these Deaf children struggle to speak it's heartbreaking they could be learning math and science and important things like that if they were only taught in sign language and not learning to speak
I remember loving this show, but ONLY this edition. Are there any other full episodes of this edition? I remember an episode where Trinity was helping out with the Kiss Concert. I wonder if she ever met the band. To me, they were like the Teenage multiracial version of “3s Company” 😄
Well find out for yourself.
The KISS episode was the best
Love that theme song
I had the biggest crush on Lisa when I watched this.
Boy I was 8 years old and admired Trini. I wonder what "Trini" Ginny Ortiz looks like today? Ginny Ortiz was born as Genevieve Ortiz. She is an actress, known for The Warriors (1979), Willie & Phil (1980) Watch Your Mouth (1978) and 3-2-1 Contact.
Dam thumbs up for You-Tube. I haven't seen much less heard of this show since childhood but at the time i didn't realize that these were reruns.LOL
God I miss this show 🤗
I had a crush on Trini back in the day.
13:10-13:40 Game took place October 28, 1979 at Miami, who defeated Green Bay 27-7. Play shown is Packers QB Lynn Dickey passing to TE Paul Coffman.
Thank you, pro-football-reference.com
NJGuy1973 Damn! We Really have to get you a girlfriend!!!
lol
I saw you at that game,you were drunk as hell
Had such a crush on Lisa
I wanted to see Lisa and Trini playing with the stereo and tuning the radio more
The ambulance siren were mounted on the roof of them,now they are in grilles or bumpers
Oh, hi Mark!
For a tv adaptation of Peter Pan, this wasn't bad.
These are great. Got any more from the first season? I've been looking everywhere and can't find them.
Look around CZcams. I posted most of the season 1 episodes that I have on yt. Search around
I have. I'm looking for some that don't seem to be there though.
I remember this show
John Etheridge I use to smoke J's of Thai and Skunk and watch this back in the day!
I’ve know sign language since I was a kid!!!
Good ol days
Hey, EVERYTHING is great when you're a kid. Yeah, everything was better in the "good old days". Sure. Why? Because you were a damn KID. You didn't have adult responsibilities. EVERYONE has to grow up (unless you die young). Guess what? Today's kids think TODAY is the best of times. Old people think the 50's were the Best of times. Listen, like the song goes, "These are the good old days". Live in the present. You have no choice. The past is gone and will never come back.
10:00 the vinyl community will have a fit over it
I thought Lisa was gorgeous!
Had such a crush on Ginny Ortiz (Trini)!!
I can see where they could’ve easily mentioned Pete Townsend in this episode...
the warriorsssss
Is there anyway to get a photo from image at 0:42 ? would love to have one
Wasn't Trini in that movie The Warriors ?
Yes, she played a store clerk. On her personal FB page her kids have Warrior clothes and accessories. So cute!
dayum....ancient.
Trini was the candy store girl The Warriors for Whattttt ?
I remember this show I was 11 around this time.
This show at times was cool and other times scared the SHIT outta me. Ah, to be 8 again. NO THANKS!!!!
400 pm mister roger's neighborhood 430 pm sesame street 530 pm 321 contact from the mid 80's till sometime in the mid 90's on the local PBS affiliate here in Milwaukee
2:53 Disco Frog from Sesame Street. :)
1:42
Porno begins in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...
Wait is that Captain Kangaroo doing the sign language translation?
Damn they were all so skinny did they not eat? And wow could not do that job for so long.
Mixed feelings about seeing older models of DHH pedagogy, 20:22 :( That student is putting out extraordinary effort and demonstrates extremely high levels of competency in an area that arguably doesn't merit much focus; that of reproducing the sounds of the hearing community that I think we recognize today are not worthy of much effort! (Recognizing fully that I don't know that student's hearing ability, so maybe it is beneficial for her to develop speaking skills...but it certainly reeks of outdated thought, to be sure.) But then 21:09 where she also demonstrates the same effort and competency in spelling, which is a skill that still maintains value in the DHH community today, in my understanding.
Also...Absolutely dying to know what those two boys are saying to each other at 21:14! Any interpreters able to help?
My untrained eyes see some romantic intentions in the first boy's last communication... In our family, we say, "Howhmmmm" when there's a movie star kiss in a tv show or something. That sounds like a good translation.
Ginny is my dream woman
I always loved how this show had the perfect pre-PC cast: A token black, an ethnic girl, and a cutie pie WASP white girl!
HailAnt
What is an ethnic girl?
All of CTW's shows had at least one male and female cast member each of black, white and Hispanic descent.
Yes, and it didn't feel forced.
That poor boy is trying so hard 17:00
This takes me back to a simpler time when people knew their gender and all that
slitlcka005 And there wasn’t CZcams with idiots with names like “slitlicka005.”
Where the heck is Paco?
Paco is featured in Seasons 2-5, not season 1.
These three characters are better roommates then the ones from that whack ass stupid threes company not sure how that show even saw the light of day I grew up with this show and I'm still in love with this show especially the blood hound gang one of my favorite episodes is case of the crackling ghost which they even made into a book to bad that I lost loved the recardo charecter was sad to hear about his passing he was waaaaaay better in bloodhound gang then that terrible terrible terrible warriors crap omg I guess you have to start from somewhere I guess just saying but that's one peace of crap that I never would put on my resume or that threes company over rated junk 321 contact and the bloodhound gang were far more special shows
PBS! 🙃
Great show from NYC and a great era when these gals had bushes not glazed donuts
Badass
"had bushes and not glazed donuts"? What the HELL you talking of man!?!?
A vag you virgin
john preston
Oh. Thought so, but needed to be sure I thought so correct. (It's just that I never heard it put li...new slang to the newbe can be a bitch at times to figure. But no harm meant man. Just was wondering. That's all. Thank you. And sorry for irritating or bothering with annoying questions.
Alright pal, stay cool:)
Peace and love. Peace and love man.
PS
Yours truly not at all a virgin. Got two beautiful children of my own and someone else's blood (ex-wife) to vouch on that;)
I like the 1983 to 1986 title sequence better. I never watched this much when I was a kid, though. Actually, I think I only watched the title sequence just to see the cat (it's all about the kitty cat for me).
No one gives a shit about your opinion.
Same to you.
It's already obvious you don't care about our opinions, some of us actually watched this show as a kid. Get lost, go watch your cat videos.
Stupidest comment on CZcams
The title sequences for the first and second incarnations of the show were nearly identical -- the only major difference was that the second version was sped up. The third incarnation (starting in 1987) was much more different.
