(Redirected from Cyberchase)
'''CyberChase''' is a children's American animated television series on PBS Kids and PBS Kids GO!, produced by Thirteen/WNET New York and Nelvana set in cyberspace. This television series premiered January 21, 2002, although the episode "The Poddleville Case" was shown as a pilot on WNET in 2000. This show is for children ages 8 to 12, and teaches discrete mathematics.
The show stars three Earth children, Matthew, Jackie, and Inez, and Digit who is a cyboid - a bird-like cyborg. The three kids and Digit work to stop the evil deeds of the Hacker and his two cyborg henchmen, Buzz and Delete.
The series takes place in Cyberspace, with planetlike bodies called "Cybersites." Each cybersite is inhabited by "Cyborgs", the virtual inhabitants of Cyberspace. Some are based on real-world places, such as ancient Egypt and the American Old West, or fantasy worlds, such as mythological Greece. The guardian of all Cyberspace is Motherboard; her repairman is Dr. Marbles.
Main articles: List of CyberChase episodes
In the pilot, "Lost My Marbles", Hacker infects Motherboard with a computer virus. At a library on Earth, while looking at a computer, Matt, Jackie, and Inez are sucked through a dimensional portal into Cyberspace. In their first adventure they go to an island to rescue Dr. Marbles. In subsequent adventures, they return to Cyberspace to thwart Hacker's evil plans, which vary from ruining Motherboard to trying to take over a Cybersite.
Throughout the season, the cybersquad searches for a new encryptor chip for Motherboard. In one episode the kids nearly retrieved the encryptor chip but lose it in a dust storm.
This season is a continuation of the same basic plot of season one. However, the focus on the search for the Encryptor Chip is shown less as the season deals more with a new scenario; each episode involving Hacker seeking to take over a cybersite or all of Cyberspace, or plot a nefarious scheme in which he is wreaking chaos and havoc somewhere. In addition, a continued appearance of Wicked, a witch from the cybersite Happily-Ever-After' occurs, revealing her strong feeling towards Hacker, while Hacker only uses her abilities as a witch to further his own evil tactics as seen in episode #211, although he did show mutual feelings towards her in episode #203, but once again, it became all about him and less about her, so in a way, the occurrences of episode #211 are Wicked's way of evening that score.
In the third season, the kids meet Slider, a rebel-style skateboarder who lives in the cybersite Radopolis. He first appears in the episode ''The Borg of the Ring'' where he retrieved the ''Totally Rad Ring of Radopolis'' from Hacker. The kids are told his father, Coop, had abandoned him.
The most dramatic event in the season happened in a two part miniseries called ''The Snelfu Snafu''. While Slider was searching for his father, he stumbled across the location of the elusive encryptor chip. When he alerted the cybersquad, they soon discovered it was in the hands of an auctioneer. The kids eventually earned enough snelfus to win it, but they discovered the chip was infected to override Motherboard, replacing her with Hacker. The kids then searched for the real chip. Upon finding it, they also rescued Dr. Marbles. However, when they attempted to put the chip in the circuits, the hardware rejected it because it was corrupt. Dr. Marbles was forced to reboot Motherboard destroying the chip in the process. Note that the chip in these episodes is orange, instead of blue, meaning it could be a fake created by Hacker, while the real Encryptor chip could have been lost.
In season four, Hacker attempts another scheme at bring chaos to Cyberspace. He steals the ''Electric Eel of Aquari-yum'' as a power source, and the ''Pedestal of Penguia'' as a relay for the power-flow, and combines these items with other gizmos and gadgets to form the Transformitron, a device with the capability of transforming anyone into anything. After taking the NIC (Network Interface Card) from Slider's dad Coop, and kidnapping Slider, the device was complete. However, the CyberSquad was able to thwart Hacker's plans again by dismantling the device so it could not be used again and allowing the effects of the Transformitron to wear off.
During this season, they had a special two hour program called ''CyberChase: My Big Idea!'' This program dealt entirely around the theme of inventions. Four back to back episodes (episodes #502-#505) were shown, each dealing with a different topic about inventions. The program was hosted by Bianca and Harry from ''Cyberchase For Real!'' and in between episodes, they talked about inventions that were made by kids, and showed clips of kids who had made inventions of their own.
Each CyberChase episode is followed by "CyberChase For Real!", a live-action educational supplement linking concepts learned in the show to real life experiences. The actors are in their twenties, but amusingly act in a manner similar to the age of the target audience. "For Real" is produced by WNET on location in and around New York City after production is completed on the animated segments. These "For Real" segments are broadcast exclusively on PBS in the United States where the program runs longer because public television does not show commercials. "For Real" segments can also be viewed at CyberChase Online.
The For Real characters are Bianca (performed by Bianca DeGroat) and Harry (performed by Matthew Wilson).
''Cyberchase'' won the first-ever Daytime Emmy Award for Broadband Children's Programming in 2007. Also, 2003 and 2006 CINE Golden Eagle Awards and a 2004 Telly Award for "TV or Cable Program: Children"
