Default Where on the Internet is Carmen Sandiego?
PBS has failed us by not rerunning or rebooting the Carmen Sandiego franchise for TV, but instead using it as something of a marketing game puzzler across all of its digital media outlets. Curse them for getting our hopes up earlier this year!

Quote:
Attention gumshoes: The mystery of PBS's Carmen Sandiego revival is solved. The network is reviving the character with a new online social game. Yep, no new shows, no old show, but a new game.

Fans can help PBS solve "The Case of the Pilfered Paintbrushes" every Thursday. Across their social media accounts, PBS will release a set of clues regarding Carmen's most recent whereabouts and where she could be going next. All clues will be tagged with #CatchingCarmen.

PBS is encouraging people to play along by figuring out where she is that week and take a creative selfie at that week’s solved location. PBS is asking fans to share the selfies with the #CatchingCarmen tag. All submissions will be aggregated via a RebelMouse page.

"While we are not planning to bring back 'Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego,' we wanted to tap into the nostalgia for the show and the popularity of Throwback Thursday to engage fans across our Vine, Tumblr, Twitter and Instagram accounts,” Kevin Dando, senior director, digital marketing and communications, said in a statement. “Our Catching Carmen campaign has already been the focus of significant social media chatter, and we’re eager to see if our fans can help us solve 'The Case of the Pilfered Paintbrushes' over the next several weeks."
I'm rather disappointing by this turn of events. I was hoping for a new game-show and either a re-release or a reboot of the classic cartoon series.

I did hear rumors of a movie, but no idea what the source is

Comics It's almost like it counts!
She's actually pretty important in the current arc of Captain SNES!

...

...

... if being a kind of catalyst for a third-string character dumping their problems on the protagonist counts as "important".

It totally counts, because nothing like that happens on accident in that comic.

(I miss the cartoon and show too.)

What important national monument will she steal this week?! I'm betting Trump Tower.
