@@HS32153 I understand what your saying but you where watching repeat episodes after they did the seasons because when it first came out it only came on once a week(nationwide) and the seasons were short it was a total of 74 episodes over 4 or 5 seasons meaning there wasn't enough 4 part series to show over a day to day period until all the seasons where complete unless they keep showing the same 4 part series back to back to back.
With kids having to grow up in a crazy social divide, a pandemic, and a potential WWIII, I'm pretty sure that yes, society peaked in the 90s and 2000s.
@@wom_Bat just cause it not your childhood doesn’t make it down hill,that stuff is very fun deal with it y’all are so annoying lol realize it doesn’t need to be apart of your childhood to be fun. It is others and soon they’ll say the same thing
Ah, I missed this classic show. They made so many cool things in the 90s. The original video game was solid too. Where in time is Carmen Sandiago was next level for it's time.
Very cool, creative show with so many good elements put together. A friend turned me onto this when I was in elementary school. My favorite thing about it was the theme of course but it was slick, so well coordinated, the hosts were so good and so positive with the kids, there was humor, and it had an overall positive energy. The educational part was just gravy. Makes me very nostalgic. Kids today don't really have stuff like this.
What's so creative? It's 1/3 multiple choice. You don't have to finish 1st place in this. It's a rip off of Jeopordy. They don't even win money. On top of that finishing 1st doesn't even matter. You can finish 2nd & beat the 1st place person. Then like the end it's really hard to know those places on the map unless you study it. I'm sure if you study a map it'll be that much easier to memorize the countries.
@@tonyp9313 You've completely missed the point of the show. It's not a substitute for actually doing the work yourself. Kind of like movies of great novels aren't substitutes for reading them. The show was created partially in response to the results of a National Geographic survey done before the show's creation that indicated Americans had alarmingly little knowledge of geography, with one in four unable to locate the Soviet Union or the Pacific Ocean. Its premise was to raise awareness and engage audiences, especially young people. I'd suggest watching the cast Zoom reunion so you know what went into it to fully appreciate what these folks did, which was not easy. Plus you'd have to take into account it aired in the early to mid 90s.
@@benjaminschultz2582 Who cares about a national geographical survey. So you're saying 1/4 Americans which is 25% of people couldn't locate the Pacific Ocean & The Soviet Union? So doing math here that means 3/4 which is 75% of Americans can locate these things. This is very impressive to me that 75% knew where these things were considering this was early 90's no internet to look up things either. For the 25% who don't know that is a very small number. Geography you get that for like 2 years in high school. It's not a full 2 years either. You are not studying where these places are everyday either.
@@tonyp9313 Extrapolate that 1/4 that didn't know basic geography and you have roughly the amount on both sides of the political spectrum who contribute to the hysterical politics of today. So in that context, 1/4 is a lot. But then, as I said, it was PARTIALLY in response. It's the little things that, when put together, make big things possible ... good or bad. And we're talking about education and engagement of kids here, not adults. As I said from my original comment, children's programming was the main premise. You had a comedy troupe, entertainment, fun, and education. They made learning about geography fun, not saying that folks would have perfect knowledge as a result of it.
@@benjaminschultz2582 I agree with you. This was a legendary show, and nothing like it currently exists today (to the detriment of all). But I do think they made a couple errors in show design, most important of which was that the final "boss battle" to catch Carmen Sandiego was poorly-calibrated with respect to its difficulty (considering the ages of the contestants). 7 locations, 45 seconds. And it wasn't like after you got a place right, Greg would give you the next clue immediately - it took a couple seconds for it to happen, knocking the time down to an optimistic 35 seconds. 5 seconds per location. Even the contestants who knew all the places had a difficult time successfully navigating the UPSIDE-DOWN map (from the contestant's perspective, this was pretty disorientating) and getting it done in time (plenty of kids played the round perfectly, never slowing down or wasting time deliberating, but were just a second or so too late on the final marker, which would've been in the right place to win). And if they made even one error...they lost. Every time (even if their second guess was right). I watched this show religiously for two or three years in the '90s, and over all of those episodes (well over 100 of the 295 that were made), I think I saw maybe 10 people win. This could've just been because the cheap production studio didn't want to shell out what must have been up to $1,500 bucks total on airfare (they paid two airfares - the winner and a parent) that frequently. Nonetheless, it made watching the show quite frustrating at times.
Aw man, I still remember watching this on PBS when I was a toddler and starting Pre-School. And re-discovering this show, That explains how I knew all seven continents when I was at-lest 5 years old, A teacher and I were talking and one thing led to another and I pulled down the world map and said: "We are here in the USA in North America, Basil is down here and is the biggest country in South America." Then continued on about various other countries and continents. It's great that they uploaded this.
I watched this when I was 8 and in second grade. This was my favorite show in the world at the time. It played a huge role in my life in making me interested in geography and other cultures.
Is this sort of thing kinda like "your thing"? Kevin: What if I asked in the comment section if the viewer is watching in the same year that I posted the comment. Think of the pleasure and thrill that would come for both of us. Kevin, I don't know where the creativity comes from by do us all a solid and keep the great ideas flowing.
I really loved this show, I was a month away from turning 10 when this episode came out. Looking back on your childhood is a weird experience, I can’t believe it was almost 30 years ago. My favorite cartoon was David the Gnome, I remember seeing the reruns. I guess nostalgia makes me sad, which is hard for me because I have a great life- I want for nothing. But if I could have those years back it would be grand.
I was so young when this show came out. While I didn't understand too much of it....at least early on...I LOVE the "Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?" theme at the end...and that always was stuck in my mind. I loved dancing to it. But I got more into as I got older...
The travel kit all paper and rubber, not worth the paper printed on the Carmen watch a cheap plastic watch, the radio at best a $30 value. A t shirt a white t shirt with the Carman sandiago name on it maybe $20, a cheap CD player not even name brand diskman $20 back than, the exclusive pbs music pretty much worthless. A trip anywhere in North America wow they are cheap bastards I would have wrote Disney Land in California and made them pay for it. Back than trip to Disneyland and Disney world were still fucking expensive.
@@MaryS2022 I don't think I was nervous. Maybe excited? Though I also got lucky with the map at the end. South America! So much easier than Africa or Europe. Hehe.
I was feeling nostalgic so I actually watched this whole video and I’m glad that I did cuz the jingle in 15:27 has been stuck in my head my entire adult life and I’d completely forgotten where it was from.
- Same!! I thought, "I'll just watch a couple of minutes"...and saw it through to the end. Yes, that jingle plagued me for MANY years. Nostalgic to hear it again, though.
A.E. Not going to happen. They would have to go look for the adults who participated as kids and get their okay to use their likeness. Also, there is the case of some of the clue segments, which used real-life celebrities as well as characters from other PBS shows (one episode, The Case Of The Lifted Lines, had X The Owl and Henrietta Pussycat from Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood as cluegivers), which would also require permission to use.
@@jeremyriley1238 seems likely that they would have gotten release for any potential media release while they were there at the time signing stuff. It's hard to believe that they would go through the trouble of making these shows without getting releases for physical media. Too hard to believe honestly, unless you have some inside intel. Bigger issue would be how many people would actually pay for 256 episodes (for comparison, Married With Children's entire run waa 259) of some 90s game show for kids. I think it would end up being one of those perpetual "i'll do it *next* pay check" things
My sister and I watched Ghostwriter faithfully every week, my 6th grade teacher would have weekly competitions in our class with these episodes of Carmen Sandiego. They don’t make ‘em like this anymore
My older sister used to make fun of me for watching this when I was 12 and watched it after school everyday. She got hooked on it too though. 🎶The Warrant🎶
Very great nostalgic show, lots of memories... and I didn't even grow up in the US! Yeah I'm not sure if it's common knowledge but this show was adapted in a few different countries, including Italy (as "Che fine ha fatto Carmen Sandiego?") where I don't think the original computer game was even released so this was the only version we knew. It's pretty much identical with the same games, same graphics, same characters, there even is the same a cappella songs, although translated.
Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? needs to be brought on a main channel. We need another educational game show other than Jeopardy. At least, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? is fair for all the contestants. If they make a mistake with a geography question, the contestant was brought back. Jeopardy favors the contestants on a winning streak especially with Ken Jennings as the host. The current Jeopardy champion keeps on mispronouncing words, and Ken Jennings gives it a correct response. Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? is more fun because there are no winning streaks and no GOAT as a host! Bring back Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?, right now, please!
Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego had a better beginning in my opinion, while it lacked a memorable endgame, at least for myself. Meanwhile, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego was the exact opposite, with an entertaining endgame and Rockapella! The only thing that has not changed, was my love for the Chief! From day 1 she brought so much charisma to her character and to the show. She will be missed!
25:38 I still have my copy. I bought it on ebay. My parents rarely bought me anything cool. But it’s a piece of game show history, and it’s a fun listen.
I wish they would bring shows like this back. This show and others from my childhood use to teach you something of value.
Spot on. Notice how bright and warm the set is.
Wow, I forgot about those shows until I saw your comment. I had the same after school routine as you.
I don't think they don't want to hurt Lynne Thigpen's legacy. I don't blame them if that's the case
Shout out to my child hood generation who loved Carmen Sandiego. Not the Cartoon but the official show.

People use to sang the intro when I told them my name.

That’s because each season was like 60 episodes

The only thing that has not changed, was my love for the Chief! From day 1 she brought so much charisma to her character and to the show. She will be missed!
Shows like these make me miss being a kid sometimes
I was a kid when it first aired in 1991 and a teen from 1992 to 1996 i watched this show I loved this show.
I watched this show regularly. I was in my 40's.👍👏
Am I the only one who loves Patty Larceny?
25:38 I still have my copy.
I bought it on ebay. My parents rarely bought me anything cool. But it’s a piece of game show history, and it’s a fun listen.
Loved both shows and the video game I played at school
Great show! 80’s and 90s game shows were the best!
I remember Lynn thigpen from the tv show the district and the movie lean on me
shineka hughes She also shot Christian Bale in “Shaft”. I half expected her point the finger at Vic the Slick as she dropped the gun.
Warriors
She was such a dick in Lean on Me. Her being the chief is the only way I want to remember her
And in Godspell
shineka hughes don’t forget Blankman.
We miss ya Chief!
