So today I watched the first episode of Square One TV for the first time in years. That show is amazing.

Anyway, it reminded me of a similar show (maybe it was even later episodes of Square One... but I doubt it). All I can remember about it is that the had a giant canvas, and every episode (I think...) they would draw on it, adding to the overall drawing. I want to say it was a white canvas, and they only used black sharpies, but I'm probably wrong about that.

Any ideas?

win, lose, or draw?

*edit*
hmm...maybe not

Dan

Nope. Wasn't a game show. More of a kids-focused edu-tainment kind of thing. The canvas that they drew on was 'permanent' and became more and more detailed as they added do it. At least, that's how I remember it.

Is it some weird Canadian thing?

Dan

probably. That doesn't make it any less real!!

Secret City?

naaahhh, has to be Secret City. (Thanks for the nostalgia HN)

Dan

I think that's it! I'll have to find a few episodes, just to be sure, but that dude's definitely familiar.

Thanks!

no prob! the mention of Square One motivated me. loved that show, especially Mathnet. "This story is a fib, but it's short"

Oh man, I haven't thought of Square One in decades. Mathman, Oops, Mathnet...I loved that show. That and 3-2-1 Contact were common viewing for me.

If I remember right he would say something like, "Draw, draw, draw, 15 or 20 minutes a day" at the end of the show too.

I loved SquareOne and MathNet too. Probably the only reason I remember the Fibonacci sequence.

Secret City! Holy shit!!

Square One was great. Had Reg E. Cathey in it as well.

Dan

^ that dude is legendary.

After watching three episodes of Square One TV today, I have to say that most of the skits are pretty weak, but the Mathnet stuff is fantastic. Seriously, I strongly recommend rewatching those, if nothing else. There's some hilarious humor in those scenes.

Oh, wow. Mathnet. Thanks for reminding me of that one.
