List of Where on Earth Is Carmen Sandiego? episodes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego? episodes. The show ran for a total of four seasons from February 5, 1994 to November 1, 1996. The first three seasons ran their episodes weekly, while the fourth season ran on weekday mornings throughout October 1996, with the three-part episode "Retribution" re-airing between March 30 and April 1, 1998.[1]

The episodes were aired out of their production order and intended broadcast order. As a result, episodes from one production season would sometimes air before all of the episodes from the previous season had aired, leaving the seasons without well-defined start or end dates, and using airdate alone to determine what season an episode belongs to is impossible. However, the seasons can be distinguished by their different intros and outros, and by their bookends around commercial breaks, and the order in which they appear on the DVD releases matches what is known about the production codes, implying that the DVD order is correct.
