The Bloodhound Gang was a popular segment from the PBS television program 3-2-1 Contact about a three young people who solved crimes.
The Bloodhound Gang consisted of "Vikki Allen" (played by Nan-Lyn Nelson), "Ricardo" (Marcelino Sánchez), and "Skip" (Seth Greenspan). The Bloodhound Gang got its name from Mr. Bloodhound, concievably a private detective, who was perpetually absent from his office. The children of the Bloodhound Gang would then answer the phone and take on cases. The Bloodhound Gang segments were short, and each adventure lasted multiple episodes. In line with 3-2-1 Contact's focus on educational content, the gang often used their knowledge of science to solve crimes.
The segment began with theme song sung by Damaris Carbaugh:
"Whenever there's trouble,
we're there on the double...
we're the Bloodhound Gang.
If you've got the crime,
we've got the time...
we're the Bloodhound Gang."
