The Year We Made Contact
This trippy animated segment from PBS’s 3-2-1 Contact really wowed me as a kid. I used to watch these every day after school and (geek alert) draw pictures and write about the topics covered. Even after hours I was a good little student, damnit! Interestingly, the initial batch of sixty five 3-2-1 episodes were repeated from 1980-83 until the funds for a second season could be sufficiently raised. It is these early ones I remember best. Disappointingly, I couldn’t locate an episode of The Bloodhound Gang or its funky theme song on YouTube.

“Contact is the secret/Is the moment/When everything happens” I don’t know who did the voiceover.
Jeff, you’d probably enjoy this one too!
