He nailed that Sean Connery impersonation perfectly

[@BlueCrystalTear]

I found it funny that, in the episode we have an impersonator for someone who played James Bond, the loot stolen was something blown up by James Bond (though that movie came right after this show).

I remember Lynne Thigpen was also known as luna the moon in bear in the big blue house as well

[@LuigiLaitinen]

Yes, she was.

The Arecibo Observatory, I remember that in the 1995 movie, Goldeneye.

Man, I had a few nightmares with the Chief without her head.

Mark is so tall. He's even taller than Greg @ 20:46

[@machoman1016]

Look at the height difference between him and Jessica.

[@aceattorney1989]

@@machoman1016 He’s a giant compared to her.

[@cinemaholic730]

I thought that to! I was like how old is he? Lol looks at least 6 feet tall

[@munimathbypeterfelton6251]

He looked to be a teenager age 13-14 years old at the time (1991). Middle school students in New York were chosen to be on the show.

[@iHeartsNostalgiaPit]

I wish you didn't mess with the volume for the theme song, it's been safe to have Carmen episodes with theme song intact for a long while now

[@Garrettk41]

That story about the girl who missed the fountain with her coin. I have a feeling the chief was lying about her currently being a Florida carpenter.

[@flyingalienqueen]

Mark is great. Cool to see a much taller kid oh this show for a change lol

[@bubblinbrownsugar616]

Uhh....The Loot. LOL!

Couldn't come up with anything Radioscope-related.

I'm amazed watching the episodes how many kids risk weird amounts on the final jeopardy styled question. Back then, I knew how to play jeopardy, because they at least had the teen tournament edition. The guy in first place only needed to risk 15 to tie for first of the girl picked 50, and 20 to win, yet he picked 30 and could have potentially lost. Also, the person in last place should almost always risk 50, unless they are very close to the second place person, and think that they might both miss the answer. If you're in last place, then you want to avoid a tie because you've already proven you have less geographical knowledge than the others, so you're more likely to lose the tiebreaker question.

[@cinemaholic730]

There's something I've wondered. I read Lynne's segments were taped in advance. She was never "live" on the show with Greg. However, some episodes (like this one) she pulls random members of the studio audience into her office at the end of the show. So I'm kind of confused how that works, if she's not "live" on the show like Greg is how do they achieve her talking with a random audience member?

[@munimathbypeterfelton6251]

During Season 1 of Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego? every episode was filmed live entirely from beginning to end without any edits made. The remaining seasons were recorded in a different television studio and pre-taped Lynne Thigpen’s parts due to her very busy schedule on Broadway and subsequent lack of availability for live taping of WITWICS episodes.

[@Garrettk41]

It wasn't that often an episode featured two cartoon informants.

[@DeAngeloStevens]

The Great Halloween Blizzard of 1991 just 4 days before the Twins won the World Series from the Atlanta Braves was Last Place in the National League West in 1990 to First Place in 1991

[@Katieclaireh]

More episodes of this show please!!!!!!!!!!!

[@NYChica23]

I'm always surprised when someone doesn't get South America...that's one of the easiest maps other than the States one.

[@DreamDancer82]

That's true, but sometimes, geography is not everybody's strong suit, and you have to factor in short term memories, having a countdown and running back and forth.

[@retroflashbackdude]

DreamDancer82 you also have to consider that from the players perspective the map is upside down.

[@litigioussociety4249]

It's technically easier than the states, it only has 13 countries. The thing is most Americans learn all fifty states by a young age due to their exposure to maps and stories about them. I remember taking geography in school, and South America was the easiest quiz we had for filling in the countries on a map. Africa was definitely the hardest, because it has so many small countries with little to no international economic or political significance, so you just had to cram and try to memorize the order of the countries around the coast, and hope you could remember the interior ones.

[@danaabel1049]

@@litigioussociety4249 Actually, S. America has only 12 countries, b/c Fr. Guiana's NOT a country. It's actually a department of France.

[@litigioussociety4249]

@@danaabel1049 I wasn't aware of that. I guess they had a better deal with France than the other two did with Britain and Holland.
