  2. The TV show was based on a computer game of the same title.  There were several computer games in the series - "Where in the USA is Carmen Sandiego?" and "Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego?" were other titles in the series.  The computer games were made by a company called Broderbund - the same company that made the Print Shop desktop publishing software.

  3. Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?, based on the popular computer game, was first seen in September of 1991 and became one of the most popular kids' game shows of all time. The series aired on PBS, probably the best place to reach it's target audience.

    Like the computer game, the game show's basic purpose was to ultimatly capture the head of an international crime syndicate. In this case, the head was Carmen Sandiego and in each episode she would send one of her henchmen out to steal a national landmark. The contestants job was to use their knowlegde of geography to track each criminal from country to country and city to city with the goal of capturing the henchman, restoring the landmark to it's home, and whom ever got enough points would have the chance to capture Carmen.

    The game show was hosted by Greg Lee and the contestants were given orders from The Chief, played by Lynne Thigpen, who ran the ACME Detective Agency. Rockapella was the singing group that sang the popular theme song and helped give the contestants clues.

  4. the game was "newish" when i was about 10 that was about 27 years ago....
