Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego!

[ryhoyarbie]

This thread is dedicated to the game show! I remember watching this show way back in the early 90's when I was around 11. This show was great. I even watched this show on vacation in Destin Florida when I was sick back in 92. Man this was a great show. I even have the theme song on a cd that I made that was sung by Rockapella. The Chief played by Lynne Thigpin and the host Greg Lee were great.

I also like the villians like: Double Trouble, Robocrook, Patty Larceny, Vic the Slick, Top Grunge, Eartha Brute, Contessa, Wonder Rat, Kneemoi, and Sara Nade.

the only thing I remeber is the song that is now stuck in my head, thank you

 

[dizzyizzy]

HA! I remember this show! It was definitely one of my favorites when I was younger. I would always sing along with the song and try to hit all the different notes that Rockapella would hit. It was quite funny considering I'm not the greatest singer!

Rockapella are AMAZING. They made that show.

And TA, once you find this thread, I HAVE to impress upon you how BAD Where in Time really WAS. Really. No Rockapella, no kids running around with poles trying to find countries, no really cool villans, no missing Eiffel towers...

I was like 5-8 when it was out, so I was kinda too little to really answer most of the questions, but I shure as heck watched! I remember watching it at the neighbors at my old house (which would have made me like 3-5 years old, I dont know what year it came out) My little neighbor friend thought the "wrong answer buzzer" sounded like someone passing gass, and we would laugh so hard. (yes I can remember very vividly that far back, I surprise a lot of people) I miss shows like that...

Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego was so popular that even Saturday Night Live made fun of it back in 94 or 95 in a skit.

Well she sneaks around the world from Kiev to Carolina,
She's a sticky-fingered filcher from Berlin down to Belize,
She'll take you for a ride on a slow boat to China,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

Steal their Seoul in South Korea, make Antarctica cry Uncle,
From the Red Sea to Greenland they'll be singing the blues,
Well they never Arkansas her steal the Mekong from the jungle,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

She go from Nashville to Norway, Bonaire to Zimbabwe,
Chicago to Czechoslovakia and back!

Well she'll ransack Pakistan and run a scam in Scandinavia,
Then she'll stick 'em up Down Under and go pick-pocket Perth,
She put the Miss in misdemeanor when she stole the beans from Lima,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
Oh tell me where in the world is... Oh tell me where can she be?

Ooh, Botswana to Thailand, Milan via Amsterdam,
Mali to Bali, Ohio, Oahu...!

Well she glides around the globe and she'll flimflam every nation,
She's a double-dealing diva with a taste for thievery,
Her itinerary's loaded up with moving violations,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

YES, Janicefersure! You can't forget... "Monday thru Friday AT FIVE!"

As I was never able to catch "World", I am unable to judge on that series, but I'll take your word for it. I still know I played the computer game based on "Time" approximately 1,000,000 times through.
