I watched it when I was in Kindergarten, 21 July 2004
Author: Kristinartist79 from Long Island

I remember that show when I was in Kindergarten. I tried so hard to search it on the web! I wasn't sure the whole name. I am so glad I finally found it! Too they don't play reruns of kids shows like they do with grown up shows. Maybe they think kids now days would not watch them. They don't make many kids shows like this anymore. Unfortunately, there its possible that kids now days, (with media like video games and fast paste shows) don't have the attention spans they do today. Maybe shows like this would help. I remember the song, "Contact, its when everything happens!" I remember learning how they milk cows, other than squeezing the utters! It was such a fun and educational show. Many shows to day, just lack intelligence and are not educational at all. Well unfortunately all good shows have to end at some points but I wonder why they show reruns of grown up shows and not kids shows! It is fortunate that at least good kids shows like "Barney and Friends," "Seasame Street," and "Blues Clues" exist. I wonder if I could get 321 contact on tape somehow. Not that I would watch it as an adult but when I have kids I would probably buy it, or buy it for a gift.
