I used to watch and record this show on a daily basis. Before this episode I’d already seen plenty from each season with one gumshoe getting all three of the lightning round questions, but this was the first one in which I’d seen anyone get all five of the chase ones!
This episode immortalized the greatest achievement of my life: being five years old and using my geography skills (and my mom's help to write the postcards) to win an adult XL t-shirt.
@@W81ResearcherNah, it was 2003. I remember it really well because she died at 54 or 55 in March of that year, and my mother, who was not even 50, died the final day of that (IMHO) No good, rotten, terrible and very bad year.
I still have one of those multiband radios from back in 90s my dad got for my birthday. I also remember seeing the portable CD player thinking that was so cool being this was before you could buy them at stores.
@@MrDash03And she played The Chief in not just WitWiCS? with Greg Lee as host and the inimitable Rockapella as the band, but also on 1996-1998’s PBS kids series, _Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego?_ with Kevin Shinnick as host. It was much less successful with weird live action villains as opposed to animated ones, and the band that sang the theme in the outro were good for what they were. Also, ironically, at least as it pertains to this episode, Lynne Thigpen voiced a judge on _King of the Hill_ in an episode. I’ll never forget hearing her say, “...however, let the record state that Mr. Hill definitely knows his pornography.”, or something along those lines. She _also_ appeared in the hilarious Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson film _Anger Management_ .
19:02 Clayton: I’ll take Church if Elvis Presley Rockapella: NOTHING! 19:17 Clayton: I’ll choose the Rose Test Gardena Rockapella: STILL NOTHING! 19:38 Clayton: I’ll go with Milan's Park Rockapella: NOTHING AGAIN! 19:38 Noel: I’ll go with Art Quake Festival Rockapella: WRANGLED WIGS! 20:00 Noel: I’ll go with Reed College Greg Lee: Is Vic The Slock there? Rockapella: WAH WAHHHH Greg: Nothing there we turn all three back around 20: Clayton: I’ll go with Art Quake Festival Rockapella: HASTED HAIRPIECES!
I’ve been to Portland, Oregon. I went there last September for my cousin Salvatore’s wedding. It was Labor Day weekend 2018. The wedding was so beautiful.

I think that there should be a reboot of this Awesome Game Show, and have present day Celebrity's giving out the clues, like, Adam Driver, Oscar Issacs, Jon Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Mark Hamil, Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Bryce Dallas Howard, Jeff Goldbloom, Sam Neill, Laura Dern, John Cena, etc. etc.
Why does it have to be a celebrity? I think that’s why some of the reboots of game shows on Nickelodeon failed. They went with popularity but more often than not it doesn’t translate over to this type of tv. You need some one with personality and well read. I’m sure there are plenty of great unknown actors/ hosts. If it has to be some one established my picks would be levar burton as the host and Leslie Jones as the chief
I always thought the final round was a little too hard even for these kids that do know geography. 8 locations in 45 seconds is crazy. I've seen people win but with literally like 1 second left or even when 0 was on the clock. There is absolutely no room for error. One mistake and you have lost
I dunno I remember watching it on TV and always thinking how I’d be great on the show cause I answered all the questions right. Especially that last round.

might wanna fix the typo Anton, this aired in 1993, unless they eventually rebooted the show in the future the last dying informant sketch ever, and he's not even dying and Greg totally jinxed it
I've been to Oregon before. I know Portland is a largest city, in Northern Oregon. I've been to Medford, Oregon. Coos County, Jackson County, and Multnomah County is in that state.
@@alalahoward1299Yeah, WTVS is PBS in Detroit on ch. 56. I could sometimes get it on TV from where I lived, but our local PBS channel is WKAR, ch. 23 in East Lansing, home of Michigan State University (aka the first-ever land grant university in America).
Yep. IIRC, rather oddly, they didn’t have a ton of kid stars giving clues on the show. The child/youth appearance that always stands out to me most is _Blossom_ -era Mayim Bialik, though IIRC, she was a contestant in an episode where the gumshoes were each paired with a celebrity.
17:58 Which I believe serves as the basis for Mount St. Hilary in the Transformers franchise (it was meant to be St. Helens in Jim Shooter's original draft).
