  • Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? is a popular children's television game show loosely based on the computer games of the same name created by now defunct Brøderbund Software. The program aired on PBS from September 30, 1991 to October 4, 1996 and starred Lynne Thigpen as "The Chief", Greg Lee as "The ACME Special Agent (renamed Senior Agent for Seasons 3-5) in charge of training new recruits" and Rockapella as the house vocal band and comedy troupe. Rockapella featured Sean Altman (tenor), Elliott Kerman (baritone), Barry Carl (bass) and Scott Leonard (high tenor), with Jeff Thacher (vocal percussion) joining in the final season of the show. This show holds the record for being the longest-running game show on PBS and as the second longest running children's game show in U.S. television history behind Double Dare (for which Greg was a contestant coordinator). The show received the George Foster Peabody Award for excellence in 1993. The show's theme song, penned by Altman and David Yazbek, is one of the most well-known themes in television history according to the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. In 2001, TV Guide ranked the show at #47 on its list of 50 Greatest Game Shows of All Time.
  • Jagd um die Welt-schnappt Carmen Sandiego war eine 1994 auf Das Erste ausgestrahlte Kindersendung. Moderiert wurde sie von Stefan Pinnow. Ziel des Spiels war es, die Diebin Carmen Sandiego zu fangen, die sich auf der ganzen Welt aufhalten konnte. Unter anderem mussten die Teilnehmer für ihren virtuellen Auftraggeber Flugtickets kaufen und bekamen Haftbefehle. Es wurden zu verschiedenen Ländern geografische Kenntnisse vermittelt, was dem pädagogischen Ziel dieser Sendung Rechnung trug. Die Sendung basiert auf einer Computerspielreihe von Brøderbund.
