The good old days of being a kid. I couldn’t wait for The Bloodhound Gang segment.

They should make this into a club mix because I know Gen X would just fu cking lose it if they heard this out

I LOVED 3-2-1 Contact. It is so great, and I think it arguably gets overlooked these days from that era of PBS shows.

One of my absolute favorite shows! The theme song was everything, but who here remembers the Bloodhound gang? 😄
