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.

Innocent, beautiful times. I wouldn’t choose another childhood era for myself than these times

"If you're looking for brains, you won't fund a trace. Between both her ears is a wide empty space." LOL

I will never forget this show, it was a defining show of my childhood lol

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

They need to remake or continue this show. I was a fan of it growing up.

I can just vaguely remember participating in my school's "Geography Bowl" but I could never forget watching this show every day after school.

5:38 My favourite Rockapella song parody clue. Greg looks *so* happy! 😊

Even since I was a kid, I loved the host's chemistry with Rockapella... they were having fun on camera, and it showed.

.I always love it when Rockapella does a song clue like that.

That is a straight righteous mullet on their lead singer.

R.I.P. Lynne Thigpen.

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.

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

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

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.

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

I used to watch this show all the time. It was so much fun.

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.

The Rockapella clue was perfection.

I love that people always get tripped up with the Canadian provinces and territories

I don't remember how I started watching this show since I was only six back when it premiered in '91. However, tuning in to PBS every weekday at 5:30 PM was always a joy, even for my parents as they also enjoyed 'Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?'

"and she probably STILL hasn't noticed they aren't real." That line SLAYED me.

One of my FAV Eartha Brute epi. Thanks.

Hey, glad to see our Prehistoric Park being featured on this show! It's still around, but it sure has changed over the years

Man do I miss this show.

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.

Love how the chief jumped when Greg scared her.

this is on a list of favorite PBS Shows right behind Barney and Friends and The Electric Company!!

This was my show !!

you're right! I haven't heard P.O. Box in millenia

The first time i'm seeing this in 15 years Oh the memories, im 21 now

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

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

Wish they would remake this show

I'm excited to get to watch episodes without having to fight my family members for the tv. Just cause a show was on don't mean you could watch it, you couldn't just watch it later.

LOL my god the 90s were ridiculous...

i never realized it was such a big franchise i only ever had the video game! Wow!

Wow, they gave away a lot of consolation prizes. Can you even imagine what those things must be worth these days? The Acme Crime Cap, the t shirts, the pen with the recordings? Collectors items, all of them!

RIP Lynne Thigpen

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

I was completely unprepared for the nostalgia rush that hit when that theme song started up.

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.

It is interesting how I came across this when Calgary just flooded and a lot of the zoo animals are having to relocate because of it.

Dat mad nostalgia.

Iloved that show onchannel 8!

That's gotta be the first time I've ever seen Scott sing backup

Haha must definitely be old or feeling ole 😅 but I totally remember this show when I was a kid and also Mr. Rogers and Lambchop play along ♥️

I’m going to Calgary for Special Olympics Nationals at the end of February; competing in Curling! I hope to squeeze in some time to visit the Prehistoric Park; that would be something else. Happy New Year Anton!

Thanks for posting these

My home province was the one that sunk her. Had she got it right she would've nailed Carmen.

11:01 I love how they posed the kids and even gave one a newspaper. Gameshows need to do that with their contestants more often.

Also just realized that Eartha not only brutalized Calgary, but also Edmonton as well (stole the Oilers in season 2) -- jeez, she must really love our province!

I almost spit the TV pizza out when Rockapella had said something about you know how much she can benchpress

me and my sister watched this show everyday i miss it =(

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

Great shows😊

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...

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

22:44 best part of the show. does anyone else sing this before choosing a vacation?

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.

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

OMG, I don't know why I didn't KZfaq this earlier, meant to, but busy lol - SUCH GOOD MEMORIES! Ahh, the good ol days!!! Thanks for uploading!

I was just through New Lebanon a few weeks ago, that map was freaking HUGE!

21:19 Gentlemen, start your engines!

21:45 Eartha Brute! Huh Yas! *NOTE*: Huh and Yas were at the same time! Great timing there

5:59 That grunt Sean.

I’m I used to watch this all the time I was probably around 5 years old in kindergarten

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

Rockapella

The DOS game was 🔥🔥🔥

Back when this show was on my mother who worked at Delalio Elementary School looked like Lynne Thigpen.

Did any of you watch the 2019 Carmen Sandiego reboot on Netflix? I’m pretty sure they based the character Coach Brunt off of Eartha Brute from this game show. They both have the same hair color, and body build.

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

omg I live in Upstate NY! Course, I was also only two years old when this episode came out...damnit...

Greg Lee wasn’t the only voice actor from Doug to be on this show. Chris Phillips who played Roger Klotz in Disney’s Doug, as well as Doug Preis who played Mr. Funnie, Mr. Bone, Mr. Bluff, Chalky, and a few others.

they don't make shows like this anymore

Those PBS commercials...how time fucken flies...

Bahahaha WTVS Detroit. I literally watched this.

The only reason I can see Carmen wanting the Prehistoric Park is to see if Spielberg was on to something with that frog DNA stuff in Jurassic Park, and if yes, use said dinosaurs as blackmail, threatening to unleash maneaters on population centers unless her demands were met.

The Party's Just Begun

I wish reusable energy was that simple. That fan can't produce more energy than it takes in.

25:21 NB REPRESENT!

9:29 Heh. The iconic "Space, Motor - Space Motor, Malfunctioning" sound effect from Sound Ideas Series 6000. Better known as "the sound of a door closing in DOOM".

21:27 WILLLLMAAAA!

The guys on the t-shirt photo look like an album cover!

1:07 Always love hearing that.

THE LOWEST SCORE WILL SAY GOODBYE SO SAD. COMING UP NEXT JAILHOUSE CHALLENGE AND THE BONUS ROUND STAY TUNED.

WHERE IN THE WORLD IS CARMEN SANDIEGO?!

skip to 1:25 to skip all the PBS ads

awesome 90's

LOL, God Rockapella is just so funny, I wish those Guys would get together to do one more concert, Or I think that They should be the next Guest stars of WWE RAW.

and yet again I got the training exercise clue because they showed the flag.

IS there like a cartoon featuring all of the crooks from this show? there ought to be

my childhood yesssssssssss

Does anyone besides me would ever yell to that Guy on the TV, "OK, OK, LESS TALK MORE AIR TIME!!".

4:02/4:08 You would think that Greg would get out his fly swatter again and catch that pesky fly, but he didn't. Why is that?

NEW LEBRON,NY IT IS. WAY A GO BOTH OF YOU!

I use to watch this

There is a shaker community and museum in Canterbury, New Hampshire
