I received The Best of Where On Earth Is Carmen Sandiego? in a DVD giveaway package I won from a blog several weeks ago. The show aired in 1994 and ended in 1998. I vaguely recall the series ever airing as I was a thirteen-year-old and I was more into horror movies at the time. The series is based on the popular pc/video game and the PBS kid’s game show; both titled Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?. Thanks to Cookie Jar (Mill Creek Entertainment) this cartoon and others are now available on DVD.
The show takes place in a virtual reality where a 'live' kid known as “The Player” is playing the game as two sibling characters Zack and Ivy, who are both ACME detectives. Carmen Sandiego is the main thief along with her V.I.L.E gang, who in each episode steals an artifact and travels the world to through off the authorities. This is where Zack and Ivy come in as they must find the clues Carmen leaves behind and figure out her next move. Of course at the end of every episode, the kids recover the artifact and Carmen gets away.
The episodes included in this DVD are:
- The Stolen Smile
- A Higher Calling
- Dinosaur Delirium
- Moondreams
- By A Whisker
- The Good Old Bad Old Days
- Rules of the Game
- Chapter and Verse
- Music to My Ears
- The Play’s the Thing
A lot of cartoons in the 80s and early 90s got a lot of heat from Congress over their violence and for being non-educational. In 1994 Fox Kids aired the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and the X-Men which contained some violence, therefore Where On Earth Is Carmen Sandiego?.
