Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?-Tyrannosaurus Wrecked

From December 11, 1995. Earth Brute steals the Calgary Zoo's Prehistoric Park.

[@melvinscottborgh5766]

Man, Miss is show!! They should definitely bring this back!!!

“For our first clue, call out the SWAT team, it’s time for that pesky fly again!”

[@KillaBeatzMuzik]

Wow. The days when you physically had to write a letter and mail it for tv contests... Haven''t heard the term "P.O Box" for ages.

[@mae2759]

As a kid, I waited the entire episode to hear that guy say "BOWWW" at the end of the show. lol

[@jnadle1]

That was Barry, the bass, heard before Sean took the first vocals.

[@lydiapernier1510]

this brings back memories watching this on PBS thirteen at 5:00pm. love this show

[@troyandrew6154]

Same thing here on wpby (now wvpb)

That is a straight righteous mullet on their lead singer.

Two shout-outs to Hanna-Barbera: the sound fx heard while the fly tries to give the clue and Scott yelling "WILLLMAAA!!!" from the Flintstones.

[@reease09]

This was my show !!

[@AngieMyst]

They sang a parody of Rhythym of the Rain! One of the very few oldie songs I like :D

[@danaabel1049]

For that clue about the "Venus Flytrap", there's a bit of misnomer w/ the description of the plant, b/c the ingestion process is actually quite slow. The plant actually has TENDRILS, not teeth.

[@IgnatzKolisch]

What a great screen presence, natural charisma. She was actually my favourite part of the show, even when I was a kid. She died too young. I learned years later that she was apparently a very skilled stage actress, which explains how she came across so memorably and powerfully on the show.

[@BKDBrian2]

From the good old 1990s, the decade of "Dinosaurs" (1991) and "Jurassic Park" (1993).

I love the part when Greg said something about after the mystery woman and he says I'm Ok and the audience cheers for him it's so funny.

[@MegaZeldafan1]

The Shadow

[@antonspivack3928]

@@MegaZeldafan1 It's not the same Shadow from season 3. The Shadow typically gives three cryptic sentences, the first is code, the second sounds like code but is actually a clue, and the third is visualized.

[@HarlemHyena]

Stealing might be legal in baseball... but that's cause they never told me. Pure gold right there.

[@TheSunlitLeaf]

Ah, so that is where it really comes from? I knew a lot of the things in this episode (probably the whole show, but I was a kid when it came on and I haven't been able to watch the others as an adult yet) were "borrowed," down to the tune Rockapella used. "Listen to the Rhythm of the Rain" by The Cascades. I didn't recognize that one though. I guess good delivery by The Chief is the best we can say then.

[@corjonbett]

"Because nobody asked me"

[@okonh0wp]

Actually, the Indians are the Aymara (or possibly the Quechua). There's a subset of islands on the Titicaca called the Uro Islands and it's possible that the Indians there are called the Uro but they spoke Aymara. I mention all this because I just returned from a Titicaca vacation last week

[@Tomozaurus]

Dat mad nostalgia.

[@sweetlife031]

lol...I always wondered why Sean Altman wore those blond dainty-looking extensions in the back of his head when he had dark hair...

[@MusicMan922]

If you're referring to the musical clue, it's a parody of "Rhythm of the Rain" by the Cascades.

Ya think they would've swiped the Calgary Stampede instead from Calgary....oh well, it IS Eartha Brute, after all. Horses and cowboys are more of a Contessa kinda thing! :)

[@TherealRNOwwfpooh]

Well, if she did steal the Stampede, Eartha Brute would probably confuse it as the arena where the Hart family wrestled.

[@33kingofkings]

This show is f****** awesome I remember this wow

[@FOTOJADAMOstudio]

Is there a video of the show's ending that had Lynne singing with the magnifying glass to her mouth? I always thought that looked funny when she said "Carmen San Diego" with a magnified mouth.

[@DukesAPG]

Whoa, this might be a subtle reference! One of Thigpen's movie credits is "the Warriors", where she operates an underground radio station... and all we ever see of her is her lips into the microphone!

Hi Anton, Thanks for posting this with the 'ads' from PBS. Those really took me on a trip down memory lane. Thanks again!

[@TheSunlitLeaf]

Yes, it was so strange to see the ads again, but in a good way. Mostly. They kind of brought home to me how much time really has passed... I still keep thinking that this was about 10 years ago, but seeing those ads and the prizes and the modem and everything on this episode have kind of shaken that idea.

[@shevwreck7815]

I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you uploading all these episodes of W.I.T.W.I.C.S.? Some of my fondest memories from my childhood, was getting home from school (1st - 5th grade) was watching this show. A typical afternoon went something like this, upon entering the house I flinging my backpack in or close to my room. Then I'd quickly run to the kitchen to make a glass of chocolate milk and then immediately plopping down on the couch turn the TV onto PBS. If it was a good day I wouldn't have to fiddle with the "rabbit ears" to get a better signal. Afterwards, it was time to get to work gumshoe lol.

[@Belushi87]

i was always at the edge of my seat doing the last round. i would cheer them on, hoping they would be able to go to the place they wanted to go even if they all chose California.

The melody was done from the song, "Rhythm of the Falling Rain" you know?

[@satsujin2294]

i never realized how unfair the final challenge was, 8 correct locations in 45 seconds? Thats only five and a half seconds to grab the marker, stick it on the correct location, which can be confusing since they start from the top of the map and the player runs "south", then get back and grab another. The kid is breathing so hard at the end...

[@learnthroughmusicandlyrics6361]

Yeah, in Season 1 they only had to get 7 correct locations in 45 seconds, which allowed the gumshoe one extra second per location identification. I guess the producers thought that was too easy, although not many gumshoes won the free trip anywhere in the lower 48 United States (before the show expanded the geographic limits for the winner to the entire North American continent in Season 2) then.
