WHERE IN THE WORLD IS CARMEN SANDIEGO?: THE CAVE ART CAPER (TV)
Summary
One in this daily series of children's quiz programs which tests young people's geographic knowledge. Based on a popular computer game, this Emmy Award-winning series intersperses animation and live-action segments as contestants try to discover the whereabouts of the internationally notorious Carmen Sandiego. Greg Lee hosts the program, which features Lynne Thigpen as the hard-boiled chief, the a cappella quartet Rockapella, and a changing roster of guest stars. In this installment, when Sandiego and her band remove treasured cave paintings from an archaeological site in France, the Acme CrimeNet detective agency swings into action. Contestants Eric Costello, Ricquella McCallum, and Luis Maldonado answer questions and try to solve the case, which leads them to Galveston, Easter Island, the Arabian Sea, and Kiev. Special guests Cree Summer and Charnele Brown provide a helpful geographic clue.
Acquisition and cataloging of this program was made possible by a grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
