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, conceivably a private detective, who was perpetually absent from his office (presumably dealing with "adult" cases). The children of the Bloodhound Gang would then answer the phone ("Bloodhound Detective Agency, wherever there's trouble we're there on the double; Mr. Bloodhound isn't here."), and take on cases suited to their age. 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."

Popular American suburban punkrap group The Bloodhound Gang takes their name from this show, and the theme song appears on the band's website. The Bloodhound Gang are an American post-grunge rock-and-roll band, originally from King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. ...
