Recap / Square One TV Mathnet S 2 E 03 The Case Of The Deceptive Data

Plot

The widely-beloved Mike Pliers Show is cancelled due to a decline in ratings, much to George's outrage. Suspicions lie in the activities of the local ratings company.

Tropes

• Large Ham: As the Domino-masked Hoover makes his exit from his first meeting with the Mathnetters: "...IIIIIII'M OUT OF HERE!"
• Mustache Vandalism: Construed as such by George when Kate doctors a sketch of the suspect—Then he realizes it's Wellworth Watching, who earlier on helped them conduct the sampling experiment at Hoover, and was also Vicious Vinny Vermin, host of a reviled children's show that ran rival to Mike Pliers.
