So anyone growing up in the mid 90s remembers this show on PBS. So discuss your thoughts on the show or annoyances you had with it. surfthechannel.com has almost every episode so you watch them all over again.

I've just finished watching the "am i blue", "to the light", "into the comics", and "max mouse" mysteries.

I don't remember much about it except that it was a flashing light that gave the kids clues. Is there more?

For some reason I didn't like this show when I was a kid. Perhaps because it was on at the same time as Bobby's World, and I mean, come on.

Yeah. I remember watching this. Pretty awesome show. Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego came either before or after it and that was sweet too. Are any seasons floating around on DVD or something?

And Blaze Berdahl was nice to look at.

I remember it. Watched it for a couple of seasons. I didn't like how it seemed to talk down to its viewers, but I accepted that it was probably because I wasn't the target age range (I watched it with my brother). Otherwise, it was entertaining. The only episodes I really remember involved that Time Travel bit and then there was one with a street poet who wrote about Vietnam and shit.

I remember the episode where there was some doll or something going around. It was kind of like a horror movie type episode. I just remember a pot boiling over and the whole episode freaking me the hell out when I was little.
