The need for the show was facilitated by the Children's Television Act. The series won a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Children's Animated Program in 1995 and in the same year was spun off into a Where in the World-styled video game entitled Carmen Sandiego Junior Detective. Reruns of the series currently air on The Worship Network and Qubo. Its episodes have subsequently been repeated on the Fox Family, PAX and the short-lived girlzChannel. The show was produced by DIC Entertainment/ Program Exchange and originally aired Saturday mornings on FOX during the Fox Kids block.
