History YMMV / SquareOneTV

** First-season and second-season writer David Yazbek later co-wrote the theme songs to ''Series/WhereInTheWorldIsCarmenSandiego'' and ''Series/WhereInTimeIsCarmenSandiego''. Pat Tuesday and George Frankly even appeared in a first-season episode of ''Where in the World..'', in which they gave out clues to the gumshoes to where the crook had gone.

* HarsherInHindsight: In Mathnet's "The Case of the Mystery Weekend", [[spoiler:the bad guy plans to kidnap people he thinks were wrongfully released and keep them in his dungeon for several years. Since the episode was released, there have been several high-profile cases where people were kidnapped and kept for several years. And like our heroes taking a wrong turn, several of them were only discovered by sheer luck.]]

* RetroactiveRecognition: Reg E. Cathey, of ''Series/TheWire'', ''Series/HouseOfCards'' (2 Emmy nominations), and ''Film/FantasticFour2015'' as one of the repertory players.

* WheelchairWoobie: In one Mathnet week, Cate Monday was in a wheelchair. It made you feel sorry for her, and [[spoiler: it made her a DamselInDistress at one point, too.]] Neither the audience nor the other characters ever learned [[NoodleIncident just how she got injured]]; she said on-screen that it was embarrassing in response to being asked about it.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: An episode of ''Mathnet'' dealt with popular music. Rocker [[Music/BruceSpringsteen Steve Stringbean]] was slated to perform at a parade, but then he was kidnapped by two failed Michigan State Marching Band musicians named Floyd Tyrone and John Phillips Lousa. Stringbean's song, which was also the kidnapper's telephone number was "Please do what these people say", which sounds very similar to Springsteen's "Born in the U.S.A."

** "Probability... why you gotta mess with me? I don't stand a ghost of a chance..."

* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: Some of the ''Mathnet'' segments were particularly dark at times, particularly "The View from the Rear Terrace", which has Kate Monday bound and gagged in her apartment with her neighbor's homemade bomb, and "The Case of the Masked Avenger", which has the mob blackmailing a wrestler over an opponent's death 20 years ago.

* MemeticMutation - One One Two Three

* MomentOfAwesome - Any time Mathman won a free game would be enough to qualify, but the segment where he successfully argued against Mr. Glitch's claim that arithmetic and mathematics were the same thing deserves special mention.

* NightmareFuel - Mr. Glitch was an anthropomorphic tornado who would eat Mathman if he got a question wrong [[spoiler:and even once, when Mathman got it right]].

* EarWorm: Some of the music videos are still stuck in peoples' heads 25 years later. Nine nine nine...

** There was also one time when the roles were reversed and ''Mr. Glitch'' got to run the maze. In the end, after his (inevitable) failure, Mathman ate him ''one bite at a time.''
*** That happened more than once, and in some cases, Mr. Glitch got eaten by Mathdog.

** And once for ''absolutely no reason at all''. That time, ''[[HighOctaneNightmareFuel he filled the whole damn screen]]''.

** This troper found the "Ghost of a Chance" video very creepy and had to leave the room whenever it appeared. The whole concept of a pizza delivery boy getting trapped in a haunted house forever, unless he gets very lucky making a series of random guesses (to teach probability) is nightmarish enough, but then you have real footage of thousands of worms crawling over each other and an endless hallway with "EXIT?" signs over an endless number of doors. He picks the wrong one.

** And let's not forget the immense creepiness of the battles between the pluses and minuses... A [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53dSP5IM5CY visceral testament]] to the simplicity of arithmetic and the futility and horrors of war.
