This is, in fact, the first actual episode. The pilot WAS actually aired as a regular show -- the scoring system was different (lost points for wrong answers, correct answers kept you at full score, for one example), and a disclaimer was given before the show to that effect.

Honestly, with Homeschooling my 4 children and going through US & World Geography, I was brought back to my younger self singing along with Rockapella & always loving the song and the show. Just shared this with my 14, 10, 8 & 3 year old and what a good feeling hubby and I got, (we are both 80's babies!), watching this whole 1st episode! Thanks for having this here to share with others!

So, you basically lived in _Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood_ (since it was taped in Pittsburgh at the WQED Studio in-house, with the sets now at the Heinz Museum) watching _WiTWiCS?_ Cool! *Sad Informational Trivia (Which most fans already know, in all honesty)* Both Lynne Thigpen (The Chief [1990-1995] & Luna the Moon from _Bear in the Big Blue House_ [1997-2003], among other things) and Mr. Rogers (Mister Fred McFeely Rogers of _Mister Rogers' Neighborhood_ [1968-2001]) both died in 2003 of a brain hemorrhage and complications from cancer, respectively, within a short time (a week, if not mere days) between each other.

This show is so near and dear to my heart as a 90s kid. I had every iteration of the Where in the World? game for PC - all floppy versions and the one CD game when it came out. First game I ever played as a kid, and I even got the comic book when it came out. RIP Lin Thickpin, we will always be chasing after Carmen for you. (sniffles) Now go away, Greg! (holds open door)

Then again, I'm not really a TMNT fan to begin with, so make of that what you will. Another thing I love about the show is when they do the Loot, Warrant, Crook thing. Rockapella comes up with some hilarious stuff with the Loot sometimes.
