1	* HilariousInHindsight: The pilot episode of the "Mathnet" sketch involved a kid losing his dad's priced baseball that was signed by Creator/BabeRuth, which was also a subplot in ''Film/TheSandlot''.
2	** The whole premise of ''Mathnet'' is this you remember there would eventually be a procedural [[Series/Numb3rs built around using mathematics to help solve crimes]]!
3	* JustHereForGodzilla: Most people only watched ''Square One TV'' for the ''Mathnet'' segments.
4	* MemeticMutation: One One Two Three
5	** Five Eureka!
6	* NarmCharm: Up to eleven if it can make a compelling plot (and a likeable character) from a [=BSoD=]'d ventriloquist who can only communicate via his dummy.

9	* RetroactiveRecognition:
10	** Reg E. Cathey, of ''Series/TheWire'', ''Series/HouseOfCardsUS'' (2 Emmy nominations), and ''Film/FantasticFour2015'' as one of the repertory players.
11	** First-season and second-season writer David Yazbek later co-wrote the theme songs to ''Series/WhereInTheWorldIsCarmenSandiego'' and ''Series/WhereInTimeIsCarmenSandiego'' and also co-created ''Series/ThePuzzlePlace''. 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.
12	** The voice of [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Lisa Simpson]], Creator/YeardleySmith, has a guest starring role as "Jane Rice Burrows", the teenage friend of the gorilla Grunt, in the Mathnet story "The Problem of the Missing Monkey".
13	** One episode featured a Japanese chef making popovers in a lecture about measuring. That chef, played by Alan Muraoka, would go on to play "Alan" on another popular PBS show, ''Series/SesameStreet''.
14	* 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."
15	* WheelchairWoobie: In one Mathnet week, Kate 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.
