I nuked the Themes section because it wasn't encyclopedic. The following paragraph might have some salvageable information:

Square One episodes often concluded with Mathnet. At the end of the show, the closing music of Mathnet (a parody of Dragnet's theme tune), plays over a graphic on blue backdrop. In earlier seasons, the graphic is a badge from the Los Angeles Police Department and in later seasons it is a badge from the New York Police Department. Under the badge, a byline in italic font reads "to be continued" or, at the end of the week, "to cogitate and solve." In rare cases, the entire closing credits are seen after this, in which a graphic featuring fuzzy patterns, similar to Max Headroom is played to the full Square one theme music. During the end of the closing credits, a female voice often says "100 % of Square One TV is a production of the Children's Television Workshop.", along with the 6 children singing "SQUAAAAAAARE ONE!", following the logo for the show zooming in from the left in a clockwise rotation. --SFT | Talk 19:27, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Note that the above paragraph contains a number of inaccuracies as well. For example, they weren't badges but seals of the departments. --BenFranske 02:22, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Also the entire Square One closing credits aren't rare, they're seen every 5th episode, broadcast on the Friday of a typical weekly run. Wl219 08:27, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Indeed, almost every CTW production went through this process. Glickmam 10:07, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] rm cleanup

Unless someone has good reason for putting it back, I think the article is acceptable as is and doesn't require any special cleanup.--Will2k 20:29, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Credits

I think the credits should be moved to an IMDB article, if it exists. They're not encyclopedic and as they stand take up over half the article. I don't see this being done for any other TV shows... ---Goldrushcavi 17:40, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

I agree. It's also unnecessarily redundant, as many of the same people have the same credits for multiple seasons. Perhaps a list of notables who worked on the show would be appropriate? - IstvanWolf 13:49, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
