Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?-The Big Ness Mess

From October 3, 1991. Eartha Brute steals the Loch Ness Monster.

First ever Carmen capture & it was on my favorite bonus round map! I love this show!

[@namk19]

How did it feel?

[@TherealRNOwwfpooh]

Most game shows featuring kid contestants tend to do that (the two _Carmen Sandiego_ game shows made for PBS, Double Dare [incidentally, one standout episode of _WitWiCS?_ actually had Marc Summers cameo & attempt to give the gumshoes trivia questions in the style of _Double Dare_ before Greg Lee told noted germaphobe Marc to go do the physical challenge instead, which references the fact that Greg Lee had previously worked on _Double Dare_ as a prop manager/stagehand], Legends of the Hidden Temple [usually, the Green Monkeys & Silver Snakes seemed to win more than the other teams], Nick Arcade's final round putting the winning team inside the video game using green screen to battle the chosen boss of the particular episode to try & earn the grand prize, Wild & Crazy Kids, GUTs [and all of its variants], etc. on Nickelodeon during its prime, and many others like them and/or inspired by them). It's 'cause we want to see the kids succeed.

[@tnawcwvictoria]

@@TherealRNOwwfpooh Same can be said with Fun House and Fox's Fun House, it was a Game Show with Children as contestants and the Fun House was challenging, yet a lot of fun, same with its spinoff College Mad House

Eartha Brute is my favorite V.I.L.E. Villains, she's like the Muscle Bound Version of Marge Simpson I 💜 the way Rockapella sings that Eartha Brute Song

[@kevindavis296]

and she also has hair like the bride of Frankenstein.

[@Zoidberg1000]

Does that also mean Marge Simpson has hair like the bride of Frankenstein? :P

[@Zoidberg1000]

Yeah T-Bone, Jean Pool's one of my favorite VILE villains those muscles on her purrrr

[@Zoidberg1000]

It's a huge shame they made her sound idiotic and dumb. Why couldn't they make her sound very seductive and alluring and have Jean hit on the male gumshoes?

[@kevindavis296]

[@aceattorney1989]

Thanks for finding the whole episode, Anton.

[@DreamDancer82]

I think this was the first episode I ever saw. I remember that Godzilla impression (whoa!) and I know the first one I saw had Eartha Brute as the thief.

[@dangeiger9796]

I saw this when it was new but I hadn't seen it in 25 years

[@toptenguy1]

LOL same here! I remembered the dozen of so "Loch Ness" terms that Rockapella used LOL

[@mtnetsurfer]

This was the first time in the series Carmen had been successfully captured. But clearly ACME was never in charge of her trial or anything other than tracking her down to arrest her because she's out by the very next episode. By contrast in the original book series you capture Carmen in the first book and she stays captured for several sequels.

[@jeremyriley1238]

Well, if they kept her in jail, the series would be over with this episode.

[@dragonstormx]

And she was captured on the infamous Africa map.

[@LuigiLaitinen]

*+mtnetsurfer* Yes, it is.

[@JeremiahsFiles]

I caught Carmen a lot in the computer games.

[@jadenmuniz8817]

[@dragonstormx]

It's weird to think that the first time someone caught Carmen was also one of the few times anyone won on the Africa map.

[@tnawcwvictoria]

Greg Lee says that it's a very rough map, I agree, I would get lost in Africa, I only know a few. Madagascar in the easist one to find

[@robrice7246]

4:46/5:06 Don't worry Greg paid him back.

[@MegaZeldafan1]

The snowball comes in the season 2 episode, What's What With Watts, and it had Greg chasing Sean with a snowball. But, that's after the clue skit involving "Oh no, it's her, The Mysterious Woman"

[@litigioussociety4249]

I guess Josh got confused when Greg told him to use strategy. However, these early episodes were likely filmed before most players had ever seen an episode where they had to go in order, since the two pilot episodes didn't have that rule, so I could certainly understand why a kid would be confused.

[@retroflashbackdude]

This episode was taped later in the season cause of the Africa map and the chief wearing her usual red outfit instead of the green one from the pilots and early episodes. But it is forgivable since josh didn’t know he would go out of order picking that last location. But, the chief was right about where Nessie would be stashed.

[@americanidol434]

@@retroflashbackdude why did they refilm it?

[@retroflashbackdude]

@@americanidol434 it wasn’t refilmed. Plus it was only the first season so the show was still new.

One of the few times the Chief uses the gumshoe's name.

[@antonspivack1436]

Actually she addressed the gumshoes by name in Season 1, when the Chief's office was part of the set. In Seasons 2-5, the office was in a different studio, and the Chief's bits were taped in advance. I would have liked it better if she continued to name the gumshoes.

[@Bull1908]

@@antonspivack1436 It makes sense she was an actress that got a fair amount of work and had to be in California or wherever to do her films and tv shows outside of this show.

[@machoman1016]

Season 1 was taped in Manhattan, whereas the other seasons were taped in Queens (the same studio as Sesame street).

[@retroflashbackdude]

It was used throughout Season 1’s Photo Recon slideshow by Chief. I cannot find the name of the musical piece, but it does sound familiar. I don’t remember the Season 1 episodes, so it’s nice to see them here.

If Tatsuo speaks Godzilla, wouldn't Nessie understand him?

[@MegaZeldafan1]

What?!

[@TherealRNOwwfpooh]

@@MegaZeldafan1 It's postulated that Nessie (which is a SHE, not a HE, like everyone thought in this particular episode) and Japanese's own atomic lizard Godzilla (the kaiju "King of Monsters") would be of similar species (although one is a camera shy sea serpent & the other is basically a giant lizard with atomic breath stuck in an iceburg).

[@TherealRNOwwfpooh]

@@MegaZeldafan1 Yeah. That would explain the Godzilla impression that one Gumshoe gave when the case involves brick-dumb Eartha Brute (reworked into Coach Brunt for the 2018-2020 Netflix reboot of the _Carmen Sandiego_ franchise) serpent-napping Nessie.

That didn't happen. Only the first season limited the trip to anywhere in the Lower 48, and in 14 episodes the bonus round was won. None of them had a player choose Canada.

[@TherealRNOwwfpooh]

The only ones who could choose Canada were the gumshoes who were part of the last round of the show once it had upgraded the grand prize to anywhere in North America, rather than just the lower 48 states.
