Why Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? might be annoying:

    The show was revamped in 1996 with a bland new host, no Rockapella, a futuristic setting, and was retitled 'Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego?'
    It was cancelled soon after the changes.
    One episode never aired because a contestant fell during the bonus round and broke his arm.
    Rockapella was overly featured.
    The special effects were cheesy.
    It features villains that steal landmarks, yet weeks later are back on the streets stealing again.
