Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?/YMMV


 * Big Lipped Alligator Moment: Rockapella once performed their song "Zombie Jamboree". Awesome? Definitely. It Makes Sense in Context? Not even remotely.
 * Not to mention the use of the word "damn" in the song. On a kids' show. On public television.
 * Apparently the radar picked it up eventually, as it was bowdlerized to dang in repeats.
 * Crowning Moment of Awesome: Anytime a kid won the bonus round, but especially on the Africa map. This kid did it with time to spare.
 * Ear Worm: My God, World's theme was this. The one from Time as well.
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: People often remember Rockapella more than anything else on the show.
 * Funny Aneurysm Moment: One episode had Double Trouble stealing the World Trade Center. Fast forward a decade later...
 * Genius Bonus: Rockapella's flourishes during the second round often got rather creative in order to stay on the standard rhythm. An episode featuring a looted railway used "finagled funicular!" and one about kidnapped whales included "sedated cetaceans!"
 * Just Here For Rockapella.
 * Memetic Mutation: Saying it again isn't necessary, but you know you want to. "Do it, Rockapella!"
 * Replacement Scrappy: Pretty much everyone and everything on Time, with the exception of The Chief.
 * They Changed It Now It Sucks: Time ousted a lot of fun from the show. Most Egregious of all was the decision to pre-tape all of Thigpen's messages, which eliminated the host-announcer banter.
