Quotes:

The Hacker:That's "The Hacker", to *you*!

Cyberchase is better than Square One TV

I feel that concepts can be taught better with a story that with a program that merely teaches lessons, and this show merely proves my point. I was not very good in math - I had a 59 at my highest grade point average - and this show could very definitely teach this old bird a few new tricks!
