Did you know that The Calgary Zoo was in a 90s episode of Carmen Sandiego?

For most, the first day of the week is the hardest and while there’s no cure, there is a sure-fire way to put a skip back into your step! For those suffering from a case of the manic Mondays, we prescribe a single shot of nostalgia and we know just where to get a dose!

When it comes to remembering “the good ‘ol days,” Reddit is THE place to get your fix all thanks to the superhuman memories of those who frequent the platform.

In a recent post made by a user named Wookard, we were reminded of a dang-right historical event – one of which had gotten lost under years of other PBS content.

Where in The World Is Carmen Sandiego?, was and will always be an iconic TV show where contestants would have to compete in a series of geography-related quizzes and games.

From Jamaica to the UK, this show featured incredible places that, at the time, we could only imagine – until they showcased the Calgary Zoo’, a place we were VERY familiar with.

In the episode of Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? above, Eartha Brute takes YYC in hopes of running away with a cage full of dinosaurs. Scandalous.

With a glimpse of the skyline and the zoo’s Dino Park this 29 minute clip had us feeling warm, fuzzy and like we were a kid again – watching after school programming.

Not only is it super cool that a TV Show as good as this one actually thought of us, it’s pretty amazing to see what the city looked like in 1999 – even if it’s only a glimpse. Check it out for yourself, friends! It might do you some good today! Happy viewing!
