Who remembers the "Carmen Sandiego" franchise and its first gameshow adaptation ("Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?") that had aired on PBS from 1991-96? Rockapella contributed its iconic title theme song.

Unfortunately, Lynne Thigpen ("The Chief") is dead...

I'd like to see all the Carmen S. imitators out there trying to make like her...

      I used to play the computer game on an old mac. It was pretty intellectual for a 4th and 5th grade system.

                Who was Carmen Sandiego supposed to have been modeled after?

                  I remember the show and the PC "Where in the USA?" both very well.
