I want to say, that I've watched this show since it started and I think it's great. It's very good for helping elementary kids with math. I enjoy Christopher Lloyd and Gilbert Gottfried as Hacker and Digit. I also enjoy the guest voices that they've had such as Tony Hawk, Jasmine Guy, etc. The only issues that I have with it are as follows: 1.As newer episodes arrive,they seem to become more repetitive. 2.And this is what bugs me the most: the animation. It was fine in the first few seasons but as the new ones came in, it began to look very two dimensional(watch it and you'll see what I mean).
Those are my only complaints. Besides that, it is a very good show.

I heard so much of this show, basically because someone mentioned of the characters. So curious i checked it out, I may not be a whiz at math or a fan of the course but I got to admit the show is amazing!!!
Although to tell the the truth, I liked the animation better when it was 2D, and using flash to do the rest of the seasons isn't very good.
All in all, the show is wonderful and I love it especially the characters both good and bad. And at least, I recognize two actors, i know: Christopher Lloyd and Gilbert Godfrey.
I look foreword to seeing the next season of this Mind- challenging adventure. ;)

These characters are not just animated figures; they are friends that your children can connect with, making the learning experience more personal and enjoyable.
One of the standout features of Cyberchase is its strong emphasis on teamwork and problem-solving. The characters' collaborative efforts to overcome challenges and find solutions not only make for exciting viewing but also instill in children the value of teamwork and the importance of perseverance. The show's promotion of critical thinking skills is a long-term benefit for children.
While Cyberchase is primarily designed for children, it's a show that can captivate and educate all age groups. The well-crafted storylines and top-notch animation make it a quality viewing experience for all. It's a show that not only educates but also entertains, making it a perfect choice for quality family time where everyone can learn and have fun together.

This was my favorite show growing up. Cyberchase helped foster my love of learning and even taught me math concepts that haven't come up in the classroom until High School. It's an odd feeling, being familiar with math you shouldn't be, and not being sure why. It gets even weirder when you remember what evil plot Hacker was up to when you learned it!! I'm a High School Senior now and in the top 1.4% of my class. I plan to major in a math heavy field from the most exclusive school in my state, and I doubt I would have been able to get this far without this amazing show. Thank you, PBS and the creators of Cyberchase!

This latest cartoon show for PBS takes place in cyberspace in which is full of societies in their own right. Cyberspace is governed by a program called Motherboard, and Dr. Marbles makes sure she is able to function. However one of Dr. Marbles own creations called The Hacker is determined to destroy Motherboard and become ruler of Cyberspace. To do this he creates three henchmen, Buzz, Delete, and Digit. The latter of the three betrays his evil creator and sides with Motherboard.
However Motherboard's encrypted chip becomes missing after and she is at risk of being completely deleted. To that end Motherboard recruits three kids from our reality. The kids along with Digit use math and solve puzzle skills in their quest to find the chip and to defeat The Hacker.
Cyberchase is one of the first PBS Kids shows to try to play on the good vs. evil cartoon/kids shows but at the same time try to inject educational information. Cyberchase is more than just the basic and higher math; it also makes uses of common math and puzzles in everyday life.
Their is also a 'Cyberchase for Real' segment in which everyday young people deal with mathematical puzzles and problems and everyday life. Like finding out how far it would take to get to someone's house by bike, rather than a
car.
Cyberchase is a fun way to present math, and shows some of very basics of math. It may not help those who have troubles with it, but it is still a fun show to watch.

I stink at math and didn't watch this show until last year. At first i only watched it because Gilbert Gottfried was the voice of digit. I'm glad I gave this show a chance I really like this show and i learn at times. My favorite characters are digit and delete. Delete is a fun evil sidekick and digit is a cute lovable bird plane thing. If you think math is boring then watch this show and you might change your mind. My favorite is um when they do to a Greece site to find Zeus. I never saw the first esposode the scenery is interesting I also find the theme song more interesting than Arthur. Christover Lyold does a great job of Hacker in the show. This is one of my favorite educantionul shows. Watch I dare you all or else hahahahahah kidding WATCH THE SHOW!!

Ugh, I just can't take it anymore with all math problems in cyberspace. It's supposed to be action and adventure with all the fights, not learning and educational. !!!Why PBS Kids!!!?

I feel that concepts can be taught better with a story that with a program that merely teaches lessons, and this show merely proves my point. I was not very good in math - I had a 59 at my highest grade point average - and this show could very definitely teach this old bird a few new tricks!

Ever since I was little, the only reason why I would even bother waking up was to feast my eyes upon this miracle of a kids' show. I would curl my toes in anticipation, watching the opening song reel across my TV screen. I would think about Cyberchase during all of my waking hours, even dreaming about the math equations and how to solve them during the nighttime. I would hallucinate about the characters and their dynamics; oh, how wonderful it would be if I was in Cyberchase. So then, I started a lifelong journey to find a way to shift myself into the Cyberchase universe. I would dabble into witchcraft and I would perform rituals on myself, hoping to enter this fictional world, but to no avail. Cyberchase has consumed me. I cannot look at birds the same; all I see is Digit. Whenever I see anything green I think of Hacker's lusciously bulbous chin. Whenever I see anything tech-related, I instantly think of Mother Board and I start convulsing, and I start feeling the side-effects of withdrawal from lack of Cyberchase content. I would do anything for Cyberchase. Watch this show, it will change your life.

I might reccomend this to my family members (they might like it) and for those who say that it rips off Team Umizoomi, you're absolutely wrong. Team Umizoomi came out in 2010, and Cyberchase came out in 2002. Mind your mind guys.

I'm sick with Environment Stuff on Cyberchase! Where is the original theme, and pourpose?: Solve math problems in a Sci-fi ambient?! Stop with environment advertising! You are killing this show with this! This stuffs gives me desire to throw up on my TV.

I recently decided to go back to college to further my education. In order to get started, I needed pre-algebra. My kids only watch PBS because of the questionable content of other cartoons that are out there. They love the show. While watching it with them and doing my math homework, I found so many links between my homework and the show that it was just scary. As funny as this may sound, I found it to be a big help for those having trouble in this subject. I think this could benefit children in school because they may see these examples from the show later on in school. Thus making learning easier. Much like School House Rock has done. Gilbert Gotfried and Christopher lloyd lend very entertaining voices. The situations are clever, and the lessons are easy for children to follow. Or, just plain fun to watch for those who don't care or are too young. You also get a real life situation at the end of the show involving what you just watched. Harry and Bianca are very funny. To really understand, you must watch. I recommend it.

While this could never compare to the greatness of Speed Racer, it is still worth a watch. The villain is a real villain. Hacker wants to rule the cyberuniverse by hacking the Motherboard and ruining the internet. But three kids, who are all really awesome, are here to save the day. Digit is a comic relief character, but this time he's actually funny. Inez and Jackie are not prissy-princesses and are actually really cool characters. Matt is cool too. The theme song rocks the house. And the animation screams 2000s and looks amazing as well. The later episodes are dumbed down though. When they switched to flash and changed it from math to ecology it began to stink. But the original episodes are classics and are really worth a watch!

The show did start out very well with the 1999 pilot, but when production costs get cut and it goes for a more cheap side, you would see some cracks from not only the PiP animation seasons but Nelvana's too.
Some animation errors, reused stock music and the choice casting of legends, Christopher Lloyd and Gilbert Gottfried to get audiences watching. But in the end, it's a cartoon for kids, just innocent fun, right? Well that's at least when it tried to do its original purpose: Math, but now they follow the same trends that EVERY SINGLE PBS KIDS SHOW DOES NOWADAYS. Lazy, unoriginal and unfortunately needs to die down.

Cyberchase is an amazing show for younger children. I myself have watched Cyberchase as a child and it fostered my love of math, and I will now study it in college due to my passion for the science. This show shows clear distinction between right and wrong which is good for the development of morals for younger viewers and the diversity this show has for being created in the early 2000's is gorgeous as well as the exposure to other languages through a bilingual main character(Inez). And to top it all off, it's cheap and available on basic cable but still has quality so it isn't only kept for those with money and really shows that the network truly cares about spreading knowledge.

If I would rate this in stars, I would give 9 stars. I am really glad that PBS had made this show. This is a good show for people who like math or people who want to learn math. I especially like the Cyberchase for Real part. I usually watch this show all the time. If I would tell my favorite episodes from Cyberchase, my favorite episodes are Clock Like An Egyptian and Totally Rad. I like Clock Like An Egyptian because I like to learn about different timepieces. I like Totally Rad because I like skating and learning about some tricks. In some episodes, there is one part that I do not like. The part that I do not like is when Matt calls Inez "Nezzie". That's why I would give this show 9 out of 10 stars.

Matt is hot. Also,I'm learning something everytime I watch it,but I don't care! If you like this show,you should try ChalkZone,less educational...but just as funny! Both are awesome cartoons. Watch these shows now!
An enthralling series that inspires children to the real practicalities of mathematics. The authors have magically intertwined math lessons with intriguing story lines... similar to the very successful Magic School Bus series... any one with children will be able to fully appreciate how these pedagogical stories manage to entertain with so much valuable content. The visual styling of the show is beautiful, vibrant and stands out from the crowd of look a likes that fill children's programming. The use of textures and 3D elements create a balanced visual treat that keep the ever growing audience of this series coming back for more. The word texture also comes into play when listening to the wonderful voice talents. Who would have ever thought of mixing the voices of Christopher Lloyd and Gilbert Gottfried on the same stage? There are some wonderful comic moments when these two come face to face
. Well nose to beak.
I look forward to seeing more of these shows and shows created with the same philosophy in the future, it's a good thing that PBS realizes and uses the true possibilities of this medium. Thank you.

Cyberchase is a very nice little show, that shows kids mathmatical ways to solve problems caused by , the *bad* guy, to save Mother Board, the cyber world's main protector person. This show is good for children to learn math.

With due respect to "mc-kiernan" this is a fine show for young minds. My 5 (now 6) year old has learned several basic math concepts by watching this show, and I suspect it is actually geared towards slightly older viewers. Being an HR manager by trade I have absolutely no idea what "isomorphisms" are or, in fact, what was the point of the previous review, but in my humble parental opinion this is a great show that gently teaches concepts of math, and shows how the tenacity of the kids is rewarded. The "Hacker" character is, I believe, not intended to represent "criminal" activity but is simply posited as the "bad guy" of the show - in other words the message for the kids is don't act like him (greedy and manipulative). The additional "Cyberchase For Real" segment with live actors also helps with basic concepts like counting, measuring, etc. Overall I believe this show is good basic material for young minds, in that it is an entertaining show which also educates.
