Does anyone have information Re: a different version of the bonus round, possibly from the pilot? I know I saw a version where flags had to be matched up to the right country. --David Bixenspan 04:18, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] (Crook's Name)'s Jailtime Challenge
On some episodes, after the contestant founded the loot, warrant, and crook, Rockapella will drop a variety of objects (like coffee beans, feathers, confetti, cotton balls, etc.) to transport the contestant to the chief's office to get the warrant to arrest the crook. Look in the script:
(The warrant in the Cheif's office is finish printing)
Rockapella: Ba Da Da Da Daaaaaaaa, Ahhhh Ahhhh Ahhhhhhhh (the win music for "(Crook's Name) Jailtime Challenge")
(the object drops from the celling)
(Chief is dissapointed)
Chief: Who dropped (named of object), in my office!
Rockapella: We Did, Chief! And look who's here....
(The contestant fades in)
It's (Contestant's Name) who is going to get the warrant to arrest (crook's name)!
Chief: Well what did you know. (Contestant's Name), you did a wonderful job on founding the loot, warrant, and (crook s name) in that order. Here is the warrant that is needed to arrest him/her. Hand that to Greg and (Crook's Name) is captured!
(The Cheif hands the contestant the Warrant)
Contestant: Thank You Chief!
Chief: Oh one more thing, i will reward you 30 Crime Bucks for arresting the crook.
(Chief hands the contestant 30 Crime Bucks)
Chief: Now, off you go!
(the object drops as the contestant leaves the office)
Chief: I have to clean my office up.
(The Contestant heads to the jail where the plunger is located, and Greg is standing next to it) (The contestant hands the warrant to Greg)
Greg: Thank You! Let me put the warrant in the slot. And on the count of three, you will pull that plunger to put (crook's name) in jail. 1.......2............3!
(Contestant pulls the hanger)
(Crook's animation appears and the jail doors closed)
Rockapella: (Crook's Name)'s, in jail!
This practice was discontinued in 1994, where the warrant is printed from the contestant's podium, and Greg handed the contestant 30 crime bucks after the contestant pulled the plunger to arrest the crook.
Actually, I don't remember that ever happening. Nor do I remember the 30 extra crimebucks.
WQED-TV only airs this part, after Rockepella does "ba Da da da daaaa....", it cuts to the contestant going to the jail and hands the warrant to Greg.
I'm from the WQED-TV broadcast area. As I recall, the winning contestant always went to the chain and pulled it (cut to jail locking animation). No mention of extra crimebucks, no warrant printed out or being handed to Greg, nothing like that at any point in the show's run.
What are the magic words that Greg said before the contestant pulls the chain?
[edit] Carmen Sandiego on GSN?
According to the section marked "Episode Status", GSN does not have the rights to air "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?".
Since Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego is owned by PBS, and GSN is a commercial cable network. If Carmen Sandiego airs on GSN, the network would have to chop out some stuff, to add some commercials.
Examples:
- 1. The Comedy Break
- 2. The Chief reading the consolation prizes for the eliminated contestants.
- 3. The Footage before (Crook's Name)'s Jailtime Challenge
- 4. The Funding Credits
GSN may remove the funding credits, all refrences to WGBH Boston and WQED Pittsburgh, and go to the next show.
But I think it'd be terrific is Carmen Sandiego came to GSN since it hasn't been seen in rerusn since October 1996, that's over 10 years ago, so It's gonna happen

I made a pitch about that show. Try finding it on YouTube, and you will see it. Type "Carmen Sandiego Pitch" on the Search, and then you will see it.
