Not a 90's kid? While this is definitely the best of her two theme songs, it's also worth seeing the other Carmen Sandiego '90s theme from the other TV show if that's your kind of thing. :) Though I'd also say Chip and Dale most of the Disney cartoons had some great themes as well. Chip and Dale get special mention for the Magnum PI meets Indian Jones fashion choices.

Actually, a really big reason why I loved the show so much as a kid was because it was as good or better than any game show you’d see on Nickelodeon except without all the annoying commercial breaks - that alone shot it up to #1 for me back 1993 when I was 8.
