Pure Pedantry : AskAScienceBlogger: Best Science Show of All Time? I think the answer is obvious: 321 Contact

Reality is always more complicated than you think.

Profile

Jake Young is a MD/PhD student at Mount Sinai School of Medicine focusing in Neuroscience. He is due to graduate in 2032. He received a BS and a MS in Biological Sciences from Stanford University -- where he spent most of his time drinking heavily and building vegetable catapults instead of learning information that would now be eminently useful. When he is not failing terrifically to perform his sworn duties, he enjoys watching bad movies, ethnic food, and running.

Pure Pedantry is a blog about science -- social sciences and otherwise -- as well as academic and scientific culture. No one can live on science alone, so I also like to dwell on pop culture, periodically explore the humanities, and indulge in other types of geeky goodness.

Jake is joined periodically by two wonderful guest bloggers: Kara Contreary and Kate Seip. See the About Page.

Ask a ScienceBlogger inquires:

What's the best science TV show of all time?...

I think that is pretty obvious. The answer is obviously my favorite science show from when I was a kid: 3-2-1 Contact

Not only did it have the best do-it-yourself science for young people, but it had a great 80s science montage as opening music. I can still to this day sing this song from memory.

<singing>"Contact is the secret, is the moment, when everything happens. Contact..."</singing>

A video of the opening music is below the fold:
