Carmen Sandiego Bonus Round

[Zoidberg312]

Carmen went to Sudan....oh wait, it just got renamed to Lisathaubu...wait, there was a coup, Carmen is in New Sundan...I think.

[mcmullen57]

Those kids who got the USA were lucky as fuck. I know I'd have gotten Africa

[macrent2]

I would be screwed if I had a map of The Oceanic/Pacific Islands in fron't of me!

[BillCullenNet]

Yes, Lynne Thigpen ("The Chief") passed away in 2003. However, Greg Lee, the "host", is still alive.

[annettemint]

I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure the host has since passed away. RIP Lynee.

[eatmealiveplease]

best 451 seconds of my life as a kid!!!

[scotty757]

As much as I watched that show. I only saw one kid win the bonus round

[wolfsbro2]

This was the hardest bonus round in any game show I have ever seen. You had to be ROCK solid identifying countries on an unmarked map AND be able to do a very fast shuttle run while carrying awkward objects. Very few contestants could do both. Also the map is upside-down to the contestant. In later seasons they stopped giving country names and instead gave clues and the map was STILL unmarked. They upped the time limit from 45 to 60 seconds but it was just wasted time where the host would read.

[wolfsbro2]

This is a very rare video. Nobody EVER won the bonus round on this show.

[bobbarker1984]

@prinsdam sadly they only get to choose anywhere in the USA except for Alaska and Hawaii. I don't think any kid would be that stupid to choose Arizona otherwise

[BloggerMusicMan]

One second left. Good job kid.

[Prinsdam]

Anywhere in the world. Anywhere at all. Finland? Iceland? New Zealand? Nova Scotia? Nope. Take me to Arizona.

TATSUOOOOOOO

[hdyudu]

look like one of thoses markers did not light up like it should

[KennethKaniffFromCT]

Unless the map was America or Europe, I didn't have a chance.

[ThePhantasist]

Al-Qaeda's in Iraq! Go, go! Ok, Al-Qaeda went to Pakistan. Pakistan. Now they're in Yemen! Hurry! Somalia! Libya! 

[Nonamearisto]

@ThePhantasist I hope they throw Bin Laden in prison along with Carmen Sandiego and Waldo.

[doddsino]

@ThePhantasist

LOL

[puttputtking]

I guess this must have been an earlier episode and that 8 marker win in 45 seconds must have been added later in the show.

[puttputtking]

He won with 7 in 45 seconds? I thought they always had to get 8 in 45 seconds to win not 7.

[jeprice08]

@puttputtking Well, they did on later episodes! First, it was 7 and then they switched it to 8.

[murrigan]

@1:49 it's apparently not good with that one kid haha

[85agapanthusgal]

Eartha Brute: "Hey, Gumshoe! Carmen double-crossed me, so I'm a-gonna get even. Look for her in Africa." 

Grrrrreat, silly line! LOL

[misspynai]

deng hes good at his geography.

[matthebrat1228]

hahah... look at his face when she says "look for her in africa"... hes like "well im fucked!"

[buddaman200522]

Let's play, "Where in the world is Osama bin Laden?" All seriousness now, brings me back to my youth

[TheRapper10000]

@buddaman200522 More where in Hell is Osama bin Laden?

[Cnat123]

Wow, this was before kid's shows gave away 350GB IPods.. I LOVED this show!

[aren8484]

wow this was my ISH back in the day

[warhola888]

Memories!

[Joe402]

lmfao

Arizona

I wouldn't go there even if you paid me.

[neoprankster]

@Joe402 Well, nowadays noone wants to go there.

[clonetriplesix]

Woooowww this brings back memories.

[lordtalon69]

Back when kids had fun shit to watch and not dumbed down reprocessed copycat every show the same disney output crap.

Basically pick any show from the 80's or early 90's on nick, or WB [animaniacs, pinky and the brain, etc] and they rocked. Tons of kids shows plus the studios at universal [now blue idiots group].

TV is dead today just don't even bother watching it.

[buddaman200522]

Where in the world is Osama bin Laden?

[aren8484]

@buddaman200522 LMAO

[DuetsDreams]

Such a Wonderful Show!

[melimsah]

I live in Arizona.... WHY come HERE?!?!?

[PapagenoJuan2]

of all the places he chose.. he chose Arizona... what the hell, lol

[goins2]

If he went now he would have to show papers

[jerry0270]

the only situation where geography would ever be useful

[earthfell]

@jerry0270 geography is also useful when you dont want to look like a worthless piece of stupid human trash. but you're good at that, arent ya?

[jerry0270]

@earthfell prove it fag

[darkpowrjd]

So...YouTube FINALLY fixed the whole "WMG owns something they don't" bug about Rockapella's theme? Or were you just the lucky one.

[BillCullenNet]

@darkpowrjd

Maybe I'm just lucky. I remember responding quite pointedly to a message I got from them months ago, explaining the difference between the game show and the cartoon show. Somebody on their end must have actually read my message! Meanwhile, my totally original coverage of a high school basketball game got silenced despite the fact that I know I used royalty-free music at the end. Go figure!

[darkpowrjd]

@BillCullenNet Hmm...I'm wondering if someone can confirm if they FINALLY fixed it or if this was never flagged or caught or if WMG finally realized that they had the wrong show.

Seriously, I'm not the only one that was affected by the bug, and either WMG was committing perjury by claiming they owned something that they didn't, didn't care to check, or YT was too lazy to care that there was even a problem. Either way, I hope you're video being left alone is a good sign.

[topraman519]

KANEDA!

[conter7]

africa was a bitch

[katiacjohnson]

LOL...I agree, the dreade African map!!!

[grandmasteroy]

Arizona!!!!

[horta85]

WOW! A show that actually rewarded people for intelligence and not stupidity. No doubt a time way, way ago!

[Bckstreetsbckalright]

finally someone caught that bitch

[nebraska124]

who the hell picks arizona!?

[lordtalon69]

@nebraska124

Mexicans?

[0V3CHKiN]

Ah the childhood memories. I was good remembering the countries of South America for some reason.

[amadeusyaoi]

I doubt she's in Zimbabwe.

[cstinia]

out of all the places to go.....arizona. LOL

[hoshidoragon]

@cstinia Hey, I quite enjoy Arizona. >:U

[henf5671]

where can i buy all of the episodes of this show? i loved this show as a kid and i still do. and i would like to re-experience the show.

[Yonteez]

"No matter what the odds you face, Acme CRIMENET solves the case!" RIP Lynne Thigpen

[Feliscar]

Arizona? What's wrong with this kid?

I miss this show. So long ago...

[Neums7]

I bet he is from AZ and his parents are pissed at his stupid choice.

[femaletupac]

t.v sucks now i miss this show along with many others from pbs

[StefanoFan27]

man i miss this show.

[trevgreg2]

I would have been so good on this show. Ah, to be young again...

[kennebacasiskyle]

Arizona?!?!?!

What the hell?!

[godgundam10]

TETSUUUUUUO!!! You captured Carmen Sandiego!!!

[StefanoFan27]

good for that kid, and i'll bet that kid is probery a grown man by now, and i'll bet he's watching this and reliving his childhood all over again.

[TVLSequel]

TATSUO.

[JGCooney]

Does anyone know if Tenor of Rockapella, Sean Altman is related to Robert Altman, director and Mike Altman, lyricist of M*A*S*H (1970 movie)? If so, How are they related?

[jkadoodle]

I wonder where in Arizona he wanted to visit? Maybe he and his parent spent a couple of days in Bumble Bee lol

[StefanoFan27]

lol, omg.

[flipflopbootybop]

this game is so freaken hard

[starlinej]

Arizona?

Imagine the looks on this kid's parents' faces when "Arizona" is revealed.

[zodesu17]

Yo, I still have that wrong answer sound

effect in head after all these years!! Evertime I mess something up I do the sound LMAO!

[TarkinRocher]

Were in the World is Carmen Sandiego: Great game, terrible prizes. Grand prize is two freakin plane tickets.

[wschmrdr]

There was a tiny bit of spending cash with it.

[cstinia]

arizona????

i'd rather go to NY or Cali or Nevada

[wschmrdr]

Well, NY was never a choice because that's where they taped. There were specific locations they could go (not just anywhere), and vacation plans.

[TVLubber]

@wschmrdr

Actually, it WAS a selected trip in "Danu-Be-Du-Be-Duped". Besides, NY could've been a selected trip if the Gumshoe didn't actually reside in NY, but was only there for the show.

[StefanoFan27]

cool.

[Parkette1]

this kid looks smart!!.....wtg kid..!!

[finnishminnow]

Does anyone have the full episode of "The Big Ness Mess"?

If someone does, please be sure to upload it for me and everyone else.

[finnishminnow]

And BTW, does anyone have the full episode of "Seizing the Sea" to upload as well?

[axelpayne69]

Easiest to hardest:

5. South America

4. Europe

3. North America

2. Africa

1. Asia

[the06bug]

Europe's my favorite

[GeekesMind]

1991 man o man where has the time gone.

[mgsnv2]

I loved the part at 1:13 where the host and player ran onto the stage.

[Almafeta]

The opening theme to Power Rangers and the closing theme to Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego will forever define the best parts of the 90s.

[FatherTime89]

@Almafeta What about the Bill Nye Theme?

[FatherTime89]

Is it just me or does the host sound like one of the guys from MST3K?

[dim432]

i like the where in time version with the bonus game the trail of time

[leddyfan]

Come on Arizona...

Anywhere in the world, the kid picks arizona...

[ColdGambit]

Thats me. The show producers said pick anywhere but cali or florida cause everyone wants to go there. They say i could change destination in a few weeks. so i chose florida later. wish i went to see the grand canyon. anyhow, know how i can get the full half hour of this show anyone?

[check86]

Congrats. I woulda picked something hilariously lame like North Dakota or Wisconsin or Ohio. :)

[milesthefox90]

even worse Iowa

[BeckyDR]

@ColdGambit ganbatte :) (congrats)

[shootbinary]

@ColdGambit Holy shit. You lived my childhood dream.

[Cnat123]

@ColdGambit Hey dd you guys know to study the Africa map or did they just give you the map at random??

[mae2759]

@ColdGambit Your 11 yr old ass was better at geography than I'll ever be!! hahaha

[Adv2k169]

he can only pick any of the lower 48 states of America.

That being said I agree. Arizona is a crappy state.

California, Washington DC, New York City, Florida would be much better choices

[cesariojpn]

The kid's name is Tetsuo. No Akira jokes?

I am disappoint.

[TVLubber]

TAtsuo, with an A.

[StockyXman]

WTF no way a kid knows africa

[KTKore]

Well he's Asian. They know everything.

[CaptainAshMorrigan]

Only in america would a kid NOT know africa.

WHAT ISNT BRITAIN THE CAPITAL OF EUROPE?! LOLOLOLO

[StefanoFan27]

OMG.

[junkmailboy1000]

that kid was a beat man, owned Africa all over the place.

the illustrations in this show are terrible though...

[whenturtlesfly]

this was my favorite part of the show. i always felt the kids could've run faster! :)

[AnticDispossession]

YEAH! AFRICA WIN!

This kid was jogging. Run kid, run!

[SenshiChan]

AZ? Seriously?! o.O

[Toltendo]

Well, there's the Grand Canyon, the Arizona Cardinals, and ASU, but the last two are inferior.

[bipolarbat]

way cool!

[TempestinBlue]

Wait, somebody actually won that show? My sister and I used to watch it all the time, and we don't remember anybody ever winning. Wow.

But...Arizona? Seriously? wtf?

[TVLubber]

No. It's Masuda. Says it on the headline.

[raphael3712]

Boy, Africa has changed a lot since this show hasn't it.

[holla06]

wooot!!!!! lol

[holla06]

were these kid game shows real? this show was the best!

[Hias74]

Arizona?

[holla06]

seriously!??!?! lmao! im like wtf?!?! hahaha

[raphael3712]

My thoughts exactly

[Googooboo1387]

I'm from AZ, and besides the Grand Canyon - uh....yeah, what was this kid smoking lol.

[agentcak]

That was close! Something else! Be careful leaving this video up! The WMG has pulled down other Carmen Sandiego videos because of the theme song.

[TVLubber]

And WMG don't even own it legally!

[freddyfan62]

this is funny. but this is during the season when they didn't get the blue jacket yet.

[mae2759]

I've seen the bonus round won maybe once... it was so hard!

[dholmestar]

I would so buy this if they released DVDs

[slapshot68]

isnt africa a country?? that wud make the places the chief said states.

[quietavngr]

hopefully you're kidding.

[ser132]

Africa is a continent made up of about 50 countries.

[TVLubber]

No, dummy! It's a continent!

[KenSkaii]

The disunited states of Africa

[jpacHiDef]

LOL..

ARIZONA!!! so exotic. hahah

[RandiBeeman]

I'm such a dork, at the end of this I was yelling "Madagascar's an island! Go! Go!" :-) I watched this show when it was on PBS and it was rare that anyone won on the Africa map.

[Hondo20132]

Note that the credit roll started unusualy very early.

[Hondo20132]

Anyone surprised that insipid WMG didn't get this yet? The song is a licensed single.

[TVLubber]

Not licensed by WMG, though.

[TVLubber]

But not by WMG.

[GameShowNetwork]

It's a licensed single but not by WMG. All of Rockapella's labels are independent! And who else owns the theme...QED and GBH (they not only own the show)

[m9mdc]

LOL rockapella is hilarious....i miss this show

[xprodigy323x]

yes! he won! =D

[yabbaguy249]

Angola never lit up. :D

I love Rockapella's bonus round music. Anyone who uploads it by itself will be my hero. :)

[PriceRight89]

Got Madagascar with one second left!

[vlude99]

Wow I use to love this show. Props to the uploader.

[rfmerrill]

arizona?!

[Abba2six]

haha, i know right?

[rmenga4]

Lynne mispronounced Kenya. R.I.P. Lynne

[TVLubber]

Actually, it can be pronounced either way.

[the06bug]

I myself would wanna go to Toronto

[iheartryanstyles]

this was a season one episode back then you could only go to anywhere in the Lower 48 states (I'm glad they changed it to anywhere in North America)

[TVLubber]

That's the good news, but the bad news is that the rules changed for the worst. Instead of 7, you'd have to get 8! It was better under the original rules. Plus, the post-Cold War changes made the Maps of Europe and Asia harder.

[iheartryanstyles]

Well Democracy rules over rules

[TVLubber]

Well, I appreciate the changes in Europe and Asia. Just not the 7 to 8 rule change.

[iheartryanstyles]

Though there is still some B.S. going on in the world

[MGHSHour2]

they should have had 60 not 45

[TVLubber]

60 for Africa and Asia. Yep. 7 in 60 seconds for each of those Maps.

[shdyslimm1]

holishiz lol this kid got good memory

[RealTime88]

NO TIME left on the clock!!! OMG!!!! Such an amazing finish!!! The last time I saw something like this, was during the last minutes of the 1994 NCAA Final Four when Arkansas won!!!!! I was happy the kid won!!!!

[njml0008]

ever think that maybe the kid's got family there?

[stefanifan2]

Arizona?! What the hell kind of prize is that?

[TVLubber]

Tatsuo probably wanted to see the Grand Canyon.

[armst012]

maybe he had family out there?

[caligal2350]

And there's a lot to see and do in Tucson, some of which I did when I lived there: Sabino Canyon, Old Tucson, Desert Museum, etc. Not sure about Phoenix, since I only drove through there a few times, but there probably is a lot of neat stuff there too.

And don't forget the Four Corners.

[BillCullenNet]

I don't know anything about the "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" thing, and I can assure ou I'm not doing it myself.

And again, if you look at my history, you'll see I have posted a grand total of four videos in the last 18 months. I wouldn't hold your breath until the next one.

[GameShowFan6]

It's comment voting.

[slapshot68]

do they hav an episode where they ask questions bout the carribean or hav a bonus round with the carribean places like puerto rico jamica n the dominican republic?

[TVLubber]

No.

[Aubster06]

Hey, a bunch of people (including me) are getting thumbed down. Who's doing it, and why?

Now it's thumbs up all over again.
