Mathnet is a parody of the famous detective show Dragnet. A man and a woman solve cases using mathematics.

Bloodhound Gang were a group of kids that were private investigators. They often (though not always) used science to solve cases.

I was very small then, but I remember there was a black family, infact the only episode I can remember was one episode like that that the guy abused a group of guys then they accepted him as a friend. I may be saying nonsense but that was all I could make out of the episode. There was Ovid video,wuzie,spot Billy, dodoq. And yes NTA was all we had then but it was da bomb . And pls there was one series too, they were 3 kids, a white girl, a white boy and a black dude. They were a band, they were called dynamite (not sure) the song I can remember from the series is : everybody not somebody got a story on its own .pls pls remember.

Is this the band that you are referring to? (This was shown in the mid 1980s).

"Dynamite" was said by Gorilla Goriddle on the show.

Thanks for these memories Naptu2. I watched both Mind Your Language and Second Chance growing up. Also remember comedy shows like The Jeffersons with George and Louise, and Good Times that had Jay Jay and John Amos as their father. Then there was Different Strokes,Mixed Blessings, Sanford and Sons and the likes. The 80's was the real deal.

Only When I Laugh (I'm H-A-P-P-Y), Keep It In The Family, The Rising Damp (Rigsby), The Many Wives Of Patrick, Steptoe And Son, Father Dear Father, Doctor In The House (Mr Brown in Mind Your Language acted in this sitcom), CHiPS (California Highway Patrol), The Love Boat, Flying High, A Sharp Intake Of Breath, etc

Wow! You almost scrambled my brain!

You wrote "Footsteps To Follow" and the theme song immediately popped into my mind, but I couldn't remember the actual tv show. I think I've remembered it now.

That's the show that's composed of several stand alone stories about family relationships.

There's a black American family in which the father was too hard on his children, while the wife felt that there would be less problems if things were patiently explained to the kids, rather than shouting on them, beating them and constantly scolding them.


There was also another story about a little girl that became afraid of her favourite uncle because he grew a beard.

Am I right?

This was shown on the NTA between c1988-1992.

Mind Your Language. The Verb To Be


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBa0CrPI0D8

Mind Your Language was a hilarious British sitcom about an English language school for (adult) immigrants in Britain.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/cd/Mindyl1.jpg

There were students from France, Italy, Greece, China, India, Pakistan, Hungary, Japan, etc. Most of the students could only speak a little bit of English, while some couldn't speak English at all. This led to hilarious misunderstanding.

The show played on stereotypes of people from these countries, eg, the Chinese woman, Su-Lee was always quoting "Chairman Mao" and arguing with the Japanese man, Taro; the French woman, Danielle, was very sexy; the Indian, Sanjeet and the Pakistani, Ali, were always arguing; the German woman, Anna, was incredibly strong, serious and efficient, etc.


Second Chance had a similar theme, but the students came from different parts of Nigeria, rather than different parts of the world. It was an adult education class (the Nigerian government was pushing an adult education policy at the time), hence the name Second Chance.

There was Madam Kofo, the wealthy yoruba trader who sold women's clothes and jewellery, Okonkwo, the igbo businessman, Tanko the butcher, Roli, the young and sexy Port Harcourt girl, Anuka, the igbo spare parts dealer, Kutcher, the retired soldier who fought in the second world war, Odiri, the taxi driver from Bendel, etc.

Tony St Iyke (Okonkwo) starred in a very famous UBA commercial.

Mohammed Danjuma (Tanko) was a stand up comedian and he also acted in Checkmate.

Isaac Ijoma (Anuka) was a voice over artist who did very many radio commercials.

Abiola Atanda (Madam Kofo) was famous for her gigantic geles on the show and she went into the gele business after the show. She is also a Globacom ambassador.

Collins Onomoh (Odiri) acted in many radio comedies.

Olu Jacobs was Mr Ribena and he also acted in very many tv series and movies (including Third Eye).

Joke Silva has also acted in many tv series and movies.

Mohammed Danjuma was Malam Tanko.

Thanks for the memories.

Thank you.

MD45:
Mohammed Danjuma of blessed memory (one of the heavy weight comedians of the 90s) was "Tanko" the hausa mallam in the sitcom

I remember the characters that I listed because they are the most famous ones, but I believe that there were other characters on the show, but unfortunately I can't remember any of them. Do you remember any of the other characters?

My gwaad ur super duper u got all the names right u can't believe I searched for second chance on you tube once i got it and i enjoyed it but now I think they took it off ,u can watch mind ur language as u like on u tube, naija why

You are lucky. You got to watch it on YouTube. I have never seen a clip of Second Chance on YouTube. There are so many clips of Mind Your Language on YouTube, but I've not seen even one clip of Second Chance.

The name of the sitcom is Second Chance. It was a Nigerian adaptation of the British sitcom Mind Your Language.
