Mathnet

Mathnet, a segment on Square One TV and spoof of Dragnet, featured detectives at the Los Angeles Police Department who solved mysteries using their mathematical skills. There were two main characters: detectives Kate Monday (Beverly Leech) and George Frankly (Joe Howard). Later on in the series, Kate Monday was replaced by Pat Tuesday (Toni DiBuono) after the show's setting moved to New York City.

Each ten-minute segment of the series aired on one episode of Square One, a production of the Children's Television Workshop aimed at teaching math skills to young viewers. Five segments made up an episode (one for each weekday), with suspense building at the end of each segment. A Mathnet comic briefly appeared in 3-2-1 Contact magazine, also a CTW production, but the magazine eventually stopped featuring Square One content.
