- Cyberchase has had one of the longest runs in animation, just wrapping up its 13th season. But with this show, there was always a jump on and jump off point for anyone in the age range it was aiming for, with a lot of people, including myself, having specific fond memories of my time with the show growing up. So I got the itch of nostalgia and wanted to look back into the show, what it is and where it's currently at.

Thanks so much for watching! Do you have any fond memories of Cyberchase?
Yes. It was a time in my life I was without my mom or dad. But my grandmother took care of me. It all worked out.
Loved it
I love the intro of cyberchase
Hell yeah, this show help me learn math quick while making it fun
Fully developed? I think the brain isn't fully developed till it goes senile
We as a society just casually forgot that this show had one of the most unnecessarily fire theme songs of all time.
THANK YOU!! To this day I still have moments where it pops in my brain and I’m just there like “We’re beatin Hacker at his gameee..”
@@crystallinecrisis3901 C-Y-B-E-R CHASE!
Literally just told my coworkers that this was my favorite show lol
even the end credits instrumental is next level
We got the power!
A one!
Two!
THREE!
FOUR!!!
The end credits song slaps like you can hear how many beats they used in that single 30 second song like it's lit
The creators really said "We have 50,000 dollars to create a show about math... how much do you think it would cost to get Christopher Lloyd and Gilbert Gottfried on?" and honestly it was probably one of the best decisions they could've made. Digit and Hacker's voices and characters were iconic and I have fond, nostalgic memories of this show because of them.
Really good question lol
Hacker was so, so sexy to me. Then there's digit lmao
I will never understand how they pulled this off. Still best voice cast in any kids show outside sesame street
💯🤣🥰🥰
Lol kinda like the show numb3rs but animated
For me, it was ALL about ARTHUR, Cyberchase, and Between the Lions. The REAL WORLD getting added in was just so memorable
I remember Cyberchase when I was with oh my God I used to watch that show all the time
seeing someone reference between the lions is awesome, good to know I wasn't the only one to watch it
Same, plus the show with the siamese cat, Recess, ChalkZone, Yu-gi-oh, and Justice League
what no wish bone
GET READY TO WIGGLE
That Cyberchase game where you could make your own character and decorate the spaceship slapped so hard
ON GOD BRO
i loved the one on the website where you had to fix the train tracks. lol
It's hard to get genuinely shocked, but finding out this show is still ongoing was one of those rare times.
Yeah but I think its for the better there are so many shows now that were so good but had to stop or if you're Clifford you were bought by amazon and they butchered the show
Wait what!? I just read this ~2mins into the video and this comment did that to me
yeah like, this was a part of my childhood here. i remember back then shows and games had a different feel to them to childhood geoff. it's a nice reminder
Same
@@BriceLijewski yep just looked it up.
It’s abt to get its 14th and final season.
I’m shocked too the show is still running.
Always thought all these shows ended long ago but in reality we just grew up out of watching them.
i learned about negative integers waaay early because of CC and then spent the next four years in school silently judging my teachers for "lying" to me by telling us we couldn't subtract a high number from a low number. in 6th grade we learned about them and i remember feeling SO SMART because i immediately understood and recalled what i learned from CC. ah, to be eleven.
I had a similar experience with multiplication. I was in kindergarten and understood the concept. I could only really do 0s, 1s, and 2s in my head, but I understood what I was doing. By the time we were officially taught it I just needed to know how to go about multiplying higher numbers and was confused why no one else understood it immediately.
WAIT I remember that episode! There was a space station with negative floor numbers!
Anyway, my story is that in first grade the teacher asked if anybody knew what symmetry was and I was the only one who did. Thanks, Cyberchase!
There was a time in 1st grade that I was sick at home and watched the episode on adding fractions with the not-harry potter girl that needed to make the crumpets. I went to school the next day and it turned out that they'd learned about that the day I was absent. I then was the one to solve the problem on the board.
This was me in like 2nd grade learning ahead about improper fractions and doing some of the more advanced math that is involved with it
Exaclty the same feeling, it just stuck with me
I remember this growing up. It was one of my favorite shows along with Dragon Tales and Clifford. This was when the floppy disks and VHS tapes were still a thing.
Oh God. I'm only in my early 20s but this makes me feel like im much older than I'm suppose to be feeling.
💯😩😩🥰🥰
I remember watching Clifford 😄 they were a fun adaptation of the book series plus John Ritter was perfect for the voice of the title big red canine along with the indomitable Cree Summer as Cleo
i loved dragon tales so much
I watched it on the CRT TV in my living room in the late 00s, I remember getting mad when it switched to flash. Crazy how quickly technology changed, when I started elementary school everyone still had VHS tapes and CRT TVs in their living rooms, but when I was leaving high school, TikTok took off and covid started.
I know Cyberchase isn't for me anymore, I grew out of it over a decade ago, but season 14 without Gilbert Gottfried just wont be the same. RIP Gilbert, you defined my childhood with this role.
I thought this show was cancelled in like, it's 2nd season and ended on a cliffhanger.
I'm so proud of this show for still existing
Yeah cause it kept repeating the same episodes for like 2 years that I stop watching it as a kid
@@malfaroangel3896 Ah, reruns are annoying
Imagine being 30 years old and saying, "Finally, I get to see what happened next! I've been waiting."
@@thesuperfluousone2537 I mean it did have a good storyline
@@thesuperfluousone2537 there are 30 year olds that still watched Pokémon and Naruto, your point?
I loved Cyberchase so much as a kid, such a fun show.
Rest in peace, Gilbert Gottfried.
No way, I remember him from World's Dumbest. Can't believe he was my favorite character from this show.
I absolutely LOVED Cyberchase growing up, and any other cartoon like it. Anything that was educational _and_ entertaining was right up my alley, and PBS had the greatest lineup of cartoons for _years._ I can't even begin to tell you how much time I spent glued to the TV and gleaning all sorts of info from these gems.
Please make more ytps with cyberchase there was so much great material. I like your stuff dood.
Same
💯🥰🥰
My childhood on the internet was FORGED by Cyberchase: The Quest. I remember being constantly confused by my objectives and just walking around trying to buy furniture, budgeting my train rides, and figuring out where to get crates of those berries
YEss YES yes
I’ve been trying to remember the name of that game for ages!
Holy shit yes, I loved that game
I believe the part of the show when Hacker corrupts Mother-B and takes over Cyberspace was the first genuine cliffhanger I ever saw as a child, even though there was an entire character in Between the Lions dedicated to the trope.
As small as it may seem, seeing the heroes actually lose the battle and a "To be continued..." sign appear felt a bit creepy but incredibly awesome at the same time.
Yeah, it was a bit unsettling when you consider most other episodes until that point followed the same formula. Even when the kids did everything right and won the Encryptor Chip, they still lost.
@@jardex2275 it taught me as a kid that you can do everything in your power to keep something from happening but circumstances out of your control can intervene.
He should do an episode on Between the Lions if he hasn't already, along with Cyberchase and Spongebob, that was my childhood TV.
@@trevorhaddox6884 there is a defunctland video about between the lions and its pretty satisfying... i just found this channel after finding defunctland similar content of childhood progam memories and such
I had no idea Cyberchase was still going so strong, I thought it ended like a decade ago. I hope my cousin's kids watch this show, it was a super engaging program.
I think this was the last season
I thought they were just showing repeat episode all these years
I thought the story ended when they found that doctor and tried to cure motherboard but it didn't work. When newer episodes appeared I knew immediately that the show would go on but the story would not.
I loved this show as a kid! It's the reason I got "in trouble" for using negative numbers in first grade after learning from the show, but since we didn't learn this in school yet I was supposed to stop at zero still 🙃
Lmao yea same thing happened to me. The show was so good that I was already learning middle school concepts in elementary school. 😅
Recognizing that Digit and Iago were both the same voice was one of my first "wait, I recognize that actor!" moments.
I'm glad to hear the show is still going, but I wonder how it will do when they inevitably have to change Gottfried's voice after his passing this year. I wish them all the best.
I'm impressed that _Cyberchase_ following Arthur's ending this year, is currently the longest running PBS Kids animated series still on the air (despite the hiatuses/breaks) and it's crazy that this series came out just 20 years ago. I still enjoying watching this series along with Dragon Tales, Sagwa, Arthur, Zoboomafoo, Clifford, Between the Lions and Sesame Street and how Cyberchase introduces concepts like Math and Science in each episode.
I don't know how long PBS is going to continue making episodes of Cyberchase and when it will end because aside from the 20th Anniversary this year, Christopher Lloyd who voiced The Hacker is getting much older and his voice is starting to show signs of age in the new episodes compared to when he started out back in 2002, along with the fact, Gilbert Gottfried who voiced Digit, sadly passed away 7 months ago so honestly if they are going to continue doing more episodes I'm not sure if Digit will get a new voice actor or they retire the character out of respect to Gilbert. Similar to when Phil Hartman passed away most of his Simpsons Character roles were retired.
Ok wow! I didn’t know that Cyberchase is still on the air. I was a regular watcher but then lost track of the show. I think I did catch an episode a few years back, but Math wasn’t the focus anymore. I’m curious what will happen to Digit as he was a favorite character. I would rather them retire the character as sad as that would be, because no one else would do the character justice.
Wait, the show is still airing?
It’s not as nostalgic in my opinion… the fact that it’s still running… I wonder what show he will do next?? Clifford the big red dog.
@@TrueMohax I think some PBS stations still air it, but mine stopped a long time ago.
@@TrueMohax as of this year it’s in its 12th season. However, math is no longer the focus. It’s all environmental stuff.
Man this show was pretty good. Disguise learning with engaging story plots and even the cyberchase for real segments hit different growing up.
Up until they transitioned from teaching math to teaching Echo crap.
The plots seriously fell off at that point
I remember being afraid of Hacker as a young girl. Now after awhile, I started liking the show. I still can’t believe CyberChase is still around.
Cyberchase will always be remembered for showing us the most mathematical strategies to solve problems. I always love how the main heroes are diverse and cooperate very well. They almost remind me of the Scooby-Doo gang. One thing I will miss is the original voice of Digit. The kids' voices may be changed every now and then because their pitches get lower, but you cannot find a better voice actor for Digit than Gilbert Gottfried. R.I.P. Now with Arthur finished, Cyberchase is PBS Kids longest-running animated show active. I don't know how you do Season 14 without Gottfried, but I'll bet the episodes will still be amazing regardless.
It's actually interesting how the cast has remained consistent for this long. Most other shows would have added another kid to the squad to appeal to another demographic after a few seasons, but Cyberchase has had the same trio for the entire run.
Best comment ❤
cyber chase really helped me with math. I used to HATE math I felt so stupid til this show went step by step teaching me fractions and I passed bc of it. thank you for letting me remember that time in my school life.
I was already okay at math but this show helped me advance a lot faster than if I was only learning it in school. Like my class didn’t get to math with negative numbers and fractions until grade six.
I remember Cyberchase when I was little probably around 7 yrs old
I was shook when I found out the grade levels certain math they taught were assigned to, they really did an amazing job breaking down concepts
i used to have a white board and i would do the equations they used on the show as practice cause i was also really bad at math
I think making it fun helps. I got better at math from a educational DVD once. Them having goofy skits made me care more... 😩🤣🥰
Honestly Cyberchase is just kinda emblematic of everything great about PBS Kids. Back in the day I used eat up every second of it after school. It was fun, creative, and heartwarming. I genuinely remember feeling like I wasn't being pandered to or talked down to, and it was a great feeling indeed.
I was overwhelmed with joy when I went to visit my out-of-state family a few years ago and my little cousins had Cyberchase on. I asked if it was re-runs or a DVD and they said it was a new TV episode, and then promptly told me to not interrupt 😂😂 I'm not even ashamed to say that I sat down an watched it with them. I told them I use to watch the show when I was their age (I don't think they really cared lol) but it was a huge wave of nostalgia and I was so happy to find out the show was still alive and kicking.
This was my favourite show as a kid. The theme song still gets me hyped. And how could you not talk about Cyberchase: The Quest?? That game was the best!
I always loved the aesthetic of Cyberchase. I wish there were more shows that had a similar look.
i still remember that one live action segment where the two hosts met each other, that blew my mind as a kid
I actually met one of the host when I volunteered at a local summer camp, matt. They were airing a scene with my class of kids and got to say hi and shake his hand in the bathroom of all places lol
@Bash that's cool man!
I think it's safe to say that this show is the sole reason I ended up getting into computer science and cybersecurity as an adult.
One of my favorite after school traditions! Eating a snack and watching cyberchase. It makes me happy to know another generation can experience it too!
Who doesn't remember cyberchase? That intro was amazing!
I remember it but I don't really remember what happened. I agree with the intro.
Yes it was
Top 10 best cartoon intros of all time
Cyberchase, Arthur and FETCH are the PBS Kids shows I have the most nostalgia for. I think the reason it's such a shock to find out it's still airing is because there was a bit of gap between basically two different eras of the show. Looking up the show, S1-8 aired regularly from 2002-2010, then S9 didn't air until 2013. I think it had ended but there was enough of a fanbase to bring it back for more. Also for S9 on it was Flash animated and they apparently switched ffrom math to environmental issues.
I wonder if Fetch is still on, and I think at some point when I was younger I used to wonder if the kids were real. Haha.
@@caseycampbell4787 Another nostalgia channel Defunctland did a video on Fetch over a year ago. The original show has already been over for over a decade with it's 5th season (2010). There was apparently already casting done for a 6th but due to a lack of funding it was cancelled. Since 2017, Jim Conroy has voiced Ruff again for small little things but no full time show
The Dufunctland Fetch episode is so good!
I remember watching this show as a kid and really enjoying it. One of my favorite shows on PBS Kids. It may have been what helped spark my interest in computer technology, and lead to me wanting to pursue Electrical Engineering. While I may have since outgrown Cyberchase, it’s nice to see its legacy live on. It’s also surprising to me that the show is still going 20 years later.
I adored this show as a kid, I used to have dreams about being in the show all the time. I am so glad to hear its ongoing and that more kids will have the pleasure of experiencing Cyberchase :))
"I can't wait for the metaverse episodes" at the end killed me 😂 The metaverse within the show is so much better than what we're looking at now.
Yeah VRChat is better
@@SideReverse People tend to forget VRChat exists lol
Hm
One of my favorite memories of the show was that mini arc where Hacker actually succeeded in taking over. Little me was on the edge of his seat
THISSSS
When you’re that young everything all media is really sanitized so good wins and bad loses. Every time. Back then, to me personally that arc was the Infinity War cliffhanger of the time 😂 I remember being so shook by it
It was such an integral moment in my childhood
Wait what? I never saw those episodes lol
Yes, I learned what is a cliffhanger from this episode.
As a designer, I think this show really influenced my style. The art direction is beautiful.
Loved the absolute hell out of this show. Even the "for real" segments i thoroughly enjoyed as a kid can't believe they continued after all these years
I was shocked to find out that Arthur lasted as long as it did, and Cyberchase is still on! It's always good to share a show with a younger generation.
The younger generation are already watching this, thats whats great about pbs kids shows, they can last generations so people of different ages can get nostigic about the same thing.
Cyberchase is legitimately one of my favorite childhood memories, and that intro still remains a jam to this day!
Man this show holds such a special place in my heart. Used to watch it every morning before school in both kindergarten and first grade. I never payed much attention to the math parts but the plots were genuinely interesting to me, especially the longer running storylines.
I should go back and check it out.
There was a show I vaguely remembered being weird when I was a child and after I found your channel I kept hoping you'd go over it. This was the show.
I'm going to binge this just so I can know exactly why I remembered this show out of all things.
So will you do Liberty’s Kids next? Now THAT’s an underrated classic with unusually A-list voices attached.
Oh heck yes. Bought the full series on DVD for $20!
AND THE THEME SONG
@@ellsebells1
Yeah what a sweet theme song!
@@nerd_by_nature5046 *WHERE?!*
@@ellsebells1 aaron carter’s magnum opus😂
I credit this show for creating all us "Gifted" students back in elementary school.
I loved it as a kid! Finding out Gilbert was part of my childhood and then hearing of his passing really saddened me but made me happy that he would do it for so long.
Cyberchase was my favorite show for a few years. I remember that the night of my 6th birthday party, instead of greeting my family as they arrived to my house, I sat in my mom’s bedroom and watched Cyberchase because that sounded more fun lol
HELL YEAH! I LOVED Cyberchase when I was a kid, still do actually, and I always wondered if Motherboard would ever be saved.
RIP to Gilbert Gottfried 😥
The guy who voiced everyone’s favourite duck
That’s all I remember from that series she needed a part or something cause someone fill in the blanks
all i wanna say is you're a genius for putting the old bumpers for each channel the show you're reviewing runs on
I'd love to see other PBS kids shows featured on your channel. It finally feels like someone is talking about *my* childhood instead of either 80s/90s stuff or modern day. Id love to see a video on Goerge Shrinks, had a neat 50s/60s aesthetic
I had no idea this series was still producing! This show was part of my after school routine for years. I only stopped watching after the Father Hacker arc. I think it started reruns and I took it as the end of the series. But these were great!
I remember rewatching a few of the newer episode circa 2015 and it was horrible; the animation completely changed and the humor became super bland. The animation was definitely the most obvious, it became choppy and stiff; definitely a major budget cut in production quality.
I remember this! Came 3 days before my 9th birthday! Really helpful since math is my worst subject. Great memories. Thanks again Jordan! Another memory unlocked
Nice! Thanks so much for watching!
@@JordanFringe94 You're welcome!
I see you everywhere Edwards
@@okjeffy6581 And that means you're everywhere yourself 😁
@@JordanFringe94 Also, Nelvana Limited from Canada is a part of it.
I am amazed that this show is still running, It was definitely in my rotation of kids shows growing up.
I will never forget this show.
CyberChase, WordGirl, The Electric Company 2009, and Wild Kratts are all PBS Kids shows I didn't watch until my earlier to mid teens but still enjoyed and watch on occasion 10 years later.
Cyberchase’s flash games were such bangers. I spent way more time playing them than actually watching the show. I loved the train track game and the big rpg one best
OMG the RPG, I just love randomly recovering memories, that game was actually difficult too
I cherished every single second of this show… it felt so limited in episodes but were all so perfect
I still remember this show blowing my mind by teaching me the concept of negative numbers.
To me, this is one of the few children's shows that have interesting lore and connected worldbuilding.
i recognized basically every older season clip in this video, at least in regards to the general idea of what the episode was about (assuming there was something unique to identify it by). im amazed at how much of an impact this show had on me as a kid.
oh, and the theme song. how does one not think about the theme song when thinking about this show?
I cannot believe this show is still around, I loved this show so much
Oh man, I don’t think I can even begin to put into words how much this show means to me! It’s seriously my favorite animated piece of media ever (and easily one of my top three shows after Fraggle Rock and The Muppet Show). Growing up as an only child, these guys kept me company all the time, and hell, even though I’m an adult in college now, I still watch it from time to time, especially if I’m sick or having a stressful day. Many of my best hours of childhood were spent on the Cyberchase website- does anyone else remember The Quest?? Most of that content is just lost media after the Adobe Flash wipeout. These guys were a massive part of my growing up and I have always considered them to be some of my best friends. A huge thank you to Jocelyn Stevenson for writing on this show AND Fraggle Rock, it really shows how great she is that she had such an influence on my two favorite shows.
Holy moly! To find out the show is still going strong this many years after is incredible. I would come home from school everyday and watch this right at the 4pm showing and never miss an episode! Shocked to learn that Christopher Lloyd voiced The Hacker, like what?! Considering BTTF Part 2 is my all time favorite movie learning this is the highlight of my day! Now that I think about it I can totally hear him but 8-12 year old me would never have noticed
I remember loving this show as a kid. Jackie was may favorite because she was so dang funny. I also really liked the Harry and Bianca segments at the end. And, I had no idea the show was still going on, that's crazy!
To this day there are situations where I think to myself "Ew, ew, and double ew!"
My daughter absolutely loves Cyber Chase, she isn't even three yet but this show has her so interested in numbers. It keeps her attention and she learns from it, even if not the exact lesson of the show she's getting that experience with numbers.
I was surprised that this show is still going strong. I want to start watching it again now that I know this.
One of my favorite Childhood shows! I love the series. For entertainment or for learning, it's really such a fantastic show.
What was your second the Aladin series.
It had Bird who used to work for the villain and voiced by Gilbert Godfrey
@@osmosisjones4912 Gilbert Said that Iago really helped him become popular in voice over.
This show was THE reason I made a mad dash for the tv after school - aside from the fun and imaginative sci-fi/fantasy worldbuilding, I really feel like Cyberchase shone brightest in its episodes about critical thinking, common sense, etc. It might sound kind of obvious now, but it really helped as a kid to have someone let you know you could question your answers, you could estimate, see if the numbers you were coming up with made sense. It was accessible, but also really empowering to learn to solve different and new kinds of problems by yourself.
I’m shocked that the show is still getting new episodes! I did like it a lot growing up but I’m shocked by it still going on. Arthur even came to an end earlier this year so this is a big shock!
Man I was in love with this show as a kid! I remember I made sure I never skipped a single episode, even rewatching the reruns, because that's how good the show was! Everything from the educational content to the art animation to the comedy and adventures was amazing!! Even the For Real segments were awesome.
Only sad part is the show started going downhill in quality after like Season 5 because I remember they started moving away from math topics and into more environment-related stuff which was fine but more boring. And the show started to get less dark and more baby-friendly. But I also started growing out of it around age 12 so maybe that's another reason why I wasn't as into it anymore. But regardless it was one of the best kid's shows out there in the early to mid-2000s.
I used to watch this show all the time when I was a kid. It helped me so mush with learning math by explaining it visually rather than shoving a bunch of numbers and symbols in your face. I distinctly remember having a eureka moment while watching the show where multiplication suddenly made sense and I understood what it was on a fundamental level.
Cyber chase really taught me a lot about volume, division, area, etc. I also enjoyed playing the online games like the one where you filled the shapes of different volumes. I was a little disappointed when they switched to flash animation but I’m glad the series is going on strong
This show taught me more than what I "learnt" in primary school. It finally got me to understand what was being taught and could catch up to the other kids
this was my childhood, taught me a lot and was to entertaining. also, the opening goes HARD
Oh my god, I remember this show so much, it helped me learn math a whole lot quicker along with it being very fun and entertaining.
You have no idea how many times I’ve watched this show on repeat, I loved it!
This was the show that both taught me how to read an analog clocks AND do division 😂
I remember watching this on the PBS app on the TV eating cereal before I headed to class. I hate math and I still do, but this is an amazing show that always made me happy to watch it. The music intro will always slap hard no matter what!
How could I not this is hands down one of the most iconic cartoons ever
This opened up a whole flood of childhood memories. My mom was a teacher so I was babysat by an elderly woman in town who didn't have cable so pretty much all I watched was PBS Kids.
I loved this series as a kid!. It was broadcast here in Brazil too, in a semi-public TV channel, and it was the last and best show of their daily cartoon block. As as far as I'm aware, it doesn't air here anymore, but I watched probably the first half of the series again and again until the end of my early teenagehood, when I discovered the internet and animes, and lost interest in TV altogether. Keep up the good work!
I LOVED this show as a kid! Can't believe it's still going today.
This has unlocked memories that I forgot I had. I know I saw this show but I cannot for the life of me recall when or where.
I remember watching this show before school when I was a little kid back in the day learning basic math, now as a 25 year old man I still watch it and cannot believe that it’s still ongoing but honestly I prefer the old animation while the new one nowadays looks a little cheap like flash animation. I still love the show overall after 20 years and I bet kids who watch this are as old as I am lol
Same. Im 23 tho
As one of aforementioned cable-less kids, I find it hilarious in retrospect that as a child, Hacker's character design nearly made me discount the show entirely, referring to him as "a green potato" after every announcement teaser aired between shows. But because there was nothing to watch during the premiere, I gave it a shot and was immediately won over for the rest of eternity. Everyone was so charming, the main cast was super relatable, I'm a math-type nerd that grew up on jigsaw puzzles, my mom working in IT made the household intimate with computers and especially computer games, I couldn't have been more of the target audience. I spent ages on the various websites playing Cyberchase games.
It even contributed to my eye for detail, it's first Poddleville episode's departure in art style sticking out to me (which I realize now was due to it being an adapted pilot episode) and later both Cyberchase's and Johnny Test's respective switches to visibly more fluid Flash that no one in my family believed because there wasn't a second, older episode going to compare the abrupt shift.
I loved this show when I was younger. The second episode of season 1 ("Castleblanca") always threw me for a loop - the kids have to survey residents of a castle town, and you think they're just showing you how to conduct a poll in general but NOPE, it's actually about using correct polling methodology to get accurate results! Such an honestly adult topic taught to kids in an accessible way.
I'll never forget the times when teachers in school would often let us watch PBS kids at the end of the day and I actually loved dragon tales, sid the science kid and cyberchase
Got to give Wild Krats a plus too. Something about Clifford as well lol
The main episodes I remember from this show is the episode where they measure their body parts with other body parts, the episode where they have to transport an ice sculpture across a desert, and the episode when the number 0 was bullied so hard by the bad guys that it ran away and took every use of a 0 with it.
In order, I think you’re talking about Ecohaven CSE (Season 3, Episode 1) , Digit’s B-Day Surprise (Season 6, episode 1) and A World Without Zero (Season 3, episode 3)
Just the fact they got the voice talents of Christopher Llyod AND Gilbert Gottfried into one studio to teach the younger audience is what really got me interested into watching it, just from line delivery alone
I had no idea the show was still ongoing after all these years! I remember watching the premier of the first episode when I was a kid. Cyberchase was one of my favorite cartoons when I was growing up. I can thank that show for showing me what the color chartreuse looks like.
What a nostalgia hit... When I didn't have cable this was my favorite show as a kid.. thank you.
I remember this being my absolute favorite PBS show as a kid, always looking forward to watching in the afternoon, after KidsWB stopped airing cartoons in the after-school 3-5 block. Though this may partly be because I was always naturally into math and logic and problem-solving stuff, though I guess I didn't know it at the time lol. Super surprised to hear it still airing; they must have changed out some of the voice cast by now? Might tune in for an episode to see what it's like currently
I remember CyberChase being one of my classmate’s favorite educational shows to watch when I was in 7th and 8th grade, right up next to the Magic School Bus. We actually loved it so much that our teachers would actually include some CyberChase characters into our math lessons, such as Matt being featured in one page where we had to make an educated guess to a certain math problem, or some math questions which featured Hacker as the main antagonist in a problem which required us to solve a math question.
This was one of my favorites growing up, I was so surprised how many of my friends never heard about it.
Loved this show, This and Magic School Bus were probably my favorites. Very surprised its still running, I legit thought the more modern animation segments were from game footage since I only ever watched the first few seasons and only know those seasons art style.
I have a very specific memory on one of the live action after episodes where the guy was using percentages to see how much discount he would get for some clothes, that taught me more than my 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th grade teachers, just wanted to point that out
What also helped this show feel like more then just an edutainment show was it often had overarching stories over the course of a season instead of every episode just being it's own standalone story.
OMG this show was so special to me. When I was a kid I really struggled with math so this show was a fun way to help me learn the stuff that my teachers were teaching! Thanks so much for taking a look back at this show Jordan.
Thank you for doing a video on Cyberchase. This and Arthur were my favorite PBS shows.
I found this while in kindergarten, and my grandma said that if I finished my homework then I'd be able to watch it, so it was a good incentive. That kind of went away when I was in first grade because then I got home shortly before the show aired, so I'd just watch it and forget to do homework.
This show was the show I looked forward watch after getting home from school when I was a kid. I remember it had lots of funny parts, but it was just cool how they made math...not boring lol
It’s great to know that a little part of my childhood lives on. It gives me a little more hope for the future.
