This episode immortalized the greatest achievement of my life: being five years old and using my geography skills (and my mom's help to write the postcards) to win an adult XL t-shirt.
@@W81ResearcherNah, it was 2003. I remember it really well because she died at 54 or 55 in March of that year, and my mother, who was not even 50, died the final day of that (IMHO) No good, rotten, terrible and very bad year.
@@MrDash03And she played The Chief in not just WitWiCS? with Greg Lee as host and the inimitable Rockapella as the band, but also on 1996-1998’s PBS kids series, _Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego?_ with Kevin Shinnick as host. It was much less successful with weird live action villains as opposed to animated ones, and the band that sang the theme in the outro were good for what they were. Also, ironically, at least as it pertains to this episode, Lynne Thigpen voiced a judge on _King of the Hill_ in an episode. I’ll never forget hearing her say, “...however, let the record state that Mr. Hill definitely knows his pornography.”, or something along those lines. She _also_ appeared in the hilarious Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson film _Anger Management_ .
I still have one of those multiband radios from back in 90s my dad got for my birthday. I also remember seeing the portable CD player thinking that was so cool being this was before you could buy them at stores.
I’ve been to Portland, Oregon. I went there last September for my cousin Salvatore’s wedding. It was Labor Day weekend 2018. The wedding was so beautiful.
I used to watch and record this show on a daily basis. Before this episode I’d already seen plenty from each season with one gumshoe getting all three of the lightning round questions, but this was the first one in which I’d seen anyone get all five of the chase ones!
Vic the Slick: "Darn that Carmen, I've gone from Salesman of the Century, to starching socks in the prison laundry. I'm climbing down the ladder of success. Look for Carmen in Asia."
19:02 Clayton: I’ll take Church if Elvis Presley Rockapella: NOTHING! 19:17 Clayton: I’ll choose the Rose Test Gardena Rockapella: STILL NOTHING! 19:38 Clayton: I’ll go with Milan's Park Rockapella: NOTHING AGAIN! 19:38 Noel: I’ll go with Art Quake Festival Rockapella: WRANGLED WIGS! 20:00 Noel: I’ll go with Reed College Greg Lee: Is Vic The Slock there? Rockapella: WAH WAHHHH Greg: Nothing there we turn all three back around 20: Clayton: I’ll go with Art Quake Festival Rockapella: HASTED HAIRPIECES!
Vic the Slick: "Darn that Carmen, I've gone from Salesman of the Century to starching socks in the prison laundry. I'm climbing down the ladder of success. Look for Carmen in Asia."
I think that there should be a reboot of this Awesome Game Show, and have present day Celebrity's giving out the clues, like, Adam Driver, Oscar Issacs, Jon Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Mark Hamil, Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Bryce Dallas Howard, Jeff Goldbloom, Sam Neill, Laura Dern, John Cena, etc. etc.
Why does it have to be a celebrity? I think that’s why some of the reboots of game shows on Nickelodeon failed. They went with popularity but more often than not it doesn’t translate over to this type of tv. You need some one with personality and well read. I’m sure there are plenty of great unknown actors/ hosts. If it has to be some one established my picks would be levar burton as the host and Leslie Jones as the chief
@@alalahoward1299Yeah, WTVS is PBS in Detroit on ch. 56. I could sometimes get it on TV from where I lived, but our local PBS channel is WKAR, ch. 23 in East Lansing, home of Michigan State University (aka the first-ever land grant university in America).
might wanna fix the typo Anton, this aired in 1993, unless they eventually rebooted the show in the future the last dying informant sketch ever, and he's not even dying and Greg totally jinxed it
I always thought the final round was a little too hard even for these kids that do know geography. 8 locations in 45 seconds is crazy. I've seen people win but with literally like 1 second left or even when 0 was on the clock. There is absolutely no room for error. One mistake and you have lost
I dunno I remember watching it on TV and always thinking how I’d be great on the show cause I answered all the questions right. Especially that last round.
I've been to Oregon before. I know Portland is a largest city, in Northern Oregon. I've been to Medford, Oregon. Coos County, Jackson County, and Multnomah County is in that state.
Yep. IIRC, rather oddly, they didn’t have a ton of kid stars giving clues on the show. The child/youth appearance that always stands out to me most is _Blossom_ -era Mayim Bialik, though IIRC, she was a contestant in an episode where the gumshoes were each paired with a celebrity.
17:58 Which I believe serves as the basis for Mount St. Hilary in the Transformers franchise (it was meant to be St. Helens in Jim Shooter's original draft).

Those were the days. I'd get home from work, turn on the TV, and watch Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego. Even though it was a kids' show.
They don't make shows like this anymore, I don't understand why PBS don't release this show on DVD Blu Ray
PBS after school memories forever! This and Ghostwriter were my favorites. RIP Lynn Thigpen!
Mine Too.
never see that coming
I love the little dance party they have at the end.
This episode immortalized the greatest achievement of my life: being five years old and using my geography skills (and my mom's help to write the postcards) to win an adult XL t-shirt.
You won the home viewer contest? Wonderful!
Omg!!! I remember I was in 1st grade and I would watch this show everyday after school!!! It used to come out on PBS
That face the girl made at 18:52 was hilarious! She either smelled the microphone or licked it by accident!!!
I think she licked it by accident. Face was hilarious that she made
I can verify, those things don't taste very good. :(
@@mhmrules 😂😂😂😂😂 I can confirm that. I used to sing in one of those at church!
Rest In Peace Lynn Thigpen!!!!!!! Thank you!
She died 18 years ago?
Yes.
@@Superamp777 Like Fred Rogers did.
@@Superamp777 I could have sworn she died in the 90s.

This is so wholesome why don’t they make shit like this anymore
i just love the chief
KaRtOoN rip
5th grade. I'd get home from school and watch this and ghostwriter. Great days. Pretty much led me to my current job
Excellent job fellows!!😱😱😱🧞♀️🇺🇸😎🥰
R.I.P. Lynne Thigpen
@FRANCO PEREZ I loved her in The District.
She was great in Lean on Me as well.
@@acca5512 With the woman who voiced Dijonay.
She was perfect as the Chief
I was devastated when she passed away

I love the fact that there are no “adults” in the audience. Let kids be kids!

At least 30 years, Infilove.
Who is the genius that Tivo'd this pbs show lmao are the man!
Yes they deserve credit, but they didn't have Tivo back when the show aired.
@@antonspivack3928 yeah I think it came out not long after the show wrapped
I’ve been to Portland, Oregon. I went there last September for my cousin Salvatore’s wedding. It was Labor Day weekend 2018. The wedding was so beautiful.
I am in the area
You out here doing the good work. Thank you.
100 years this year on that clue at 11:48!
Happy Anniversary & God Bless that woman!
I just realized that host looks like a junior version of Charles Grodin.
My childhood. .

Noel, Clayton, & Kristen are the three contestants on this episode of the TV series "Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?".
Vic the Slick: "Darn that Carmen, I've gone from Salesman of the Century, to starching socks in the prison laundry. I'm climbing down the ladder of success. Look for Carmen in Asia."
19:02
Clayton: I’ll take Church if Elvis Presley
Rockapella: NOTHING!
19:17
Clayton: I’ll choose the Rose Test Gardena
Rockapella: STILL NOTHING!
19:38
Clayton: I’ll go with Milan's Park
Rockapella: NOTHING AGAIN!
19:38

The Warrant!
Vic the Slick, You Won! Ba da ba da da da daaaaaaa!
@@MegaZeldafan1 Vic The Slick In Jail!
What a waste the last round was.. that kid had no idea where anything was. He went to Japan when they said Indonesia!
Funny, I seem to remember the Map round opening with Scott running in and saying rather boastfully "I'm dead, I'm dead." before collapsing.
He does that in "The Burgled Bridge".
Man I miss her.
I grew up across from Portland! Vancouver, WA
YOUR FUN FACT: Another city is named after a Canadian city.
I am going to be living in that area in Beaverton
An example of fine quality edutainment
Dead guy literally got dragged. Kid did great at the end
Vic the Slick: "Darn that Carmen, I've gone from Salesman of the Century to starching socks in the prison laundry. I'm climbing down the ladder of success. Look for Carmen in Asia."
British courthouse wigs and DJ from Roseanne

1:20 The wigs were also worn in France and Germany as well from what I understand.
So you think you can explain we love our hair.
0:20 WTVS channel 56! My local PBS station, the one I watched this show on.
You're from Michigan?
@@alalahoward1299Yeah, WTVS is PBS in Detroit on ch. 56. I could sometimes get it on TV from where I lived, but our local PBS channel is WKAR, ch. 23 in East Lansing, home of Michigan State University (aka the first-ever land grant university in America).

the last dying informant sketch ever, and he's not even dying and Greg totally jinxed it
Asia we always the most difficult- plus I want to say it was a larger map, so more area to cover.
Africa was way harder if for no other reason than most contestant don't know the countries in Africa
@@christinadoxstader1787 I would have to agree with both of you, also the USA Map was even more harder, some of the states are so small.

@@natedoggcata In "Who Bagged the Bull?", the final contestant makes no mistakes at all and still runs out of time!
Hey, Asia is huge, they're supposed to give the contestant 60 seconds!
Maybe so, but then, there wouldn't be much of a challenge
6:37 so much for the living informant
Much thanks for all these. Now one S2 episode and 4 S3 episodes are left for all episodes in seasons 1-3 to be on RUclips :D
90s pops
I've been to Oregon before. I know Portland is a largest city, in Northern Oregon. I've been to Medford, Oregon. Coos County, Jackson County, and Multnomah County is in that state.
I just got settled in Beaverton, Oregon
Gotta love VCR tapes
Lol! Thats DJ from Roseanne at 14:52

Portland,Oregon Is Just A City As We Know It Oh Boy.
I don’t think I ever saw someone win a non USA map
I remember a kid won with the African continent one time I was shocked they actually caught Carmen sandeigo
There were many gumshoes who won on the other maps over the years.
Would u put the Carmen sandiego vids into a playlist?
BOTH PICKED PORTLAND AND ONE OF YOU SAY GOODBYE SO ENJOY YOUR DOGGIE BAG HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU.
17:58 Which I believe serves as the basis for Mount St. Hilary in the Transformers franchise (it was meant to be St. Helens in Jim Shooter's original draft).
Wow!!
What If Can Make It In HD Digital Remasted Of Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego Complete Season 1-5?
Samuel Fielding Jr. It'll be a dream come true for future world travelers.
