'''''Cyberchase''''' is an [[animated series|animated]] [[science fantasy]] [[children's television series]] that airs on [[PBS Kids]]. The series centers around three children from Earth: Jackie, Matt and Inez, who are brought into Cyberspace, a digital universe, in order to protect it from the villainous Hacker ([[Christopher Lloyd]]).<ref>{{cite book|last1=Perlmutter|first1=David|title=The Encyclopedia of American Animated Television Shows|date=2018|publisher=Rowman & Littlefield|isbn=978-1538103739|page=143}}</ref> They are able to foil Hacker's schemes by means of problem-solving skills in conjunction with basic [[mathematics]], [[environmental science]] and wellness. In Cyberspace, they meet Digit ([[Gilbert Gottfried]] for the first thirteen seasons, later [[Ron Pardo]] as of the fourteenth), a "cybird" who helps them on their missions.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.pbs.org/parents/shows/cyberchase/about|title=Cyberchase.

==Plot==
[[Motherboard]] is the "brain of the giant computer system that oversees all of Cyberspace".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://pbskids.org/cyberchase/media/games/webisodes-global/how_started.html|title=Cyberchase How it all Started|access-date=February 22, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170612041442/http://pbskids.org/cyberchase/media/games/webisodes-global/how_started.html|archive-date=June 12, 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref> Her technician computer scientist, Doctor Marbles, kept her functioning properly until his assistant, The Hacker, turned against them. Marbles drained Hacker's battery and banished him to the Northern Frontier, where he formulated a plan to launch a [[computer virus]] that would attack Motherboard.

When Jackie, Matt and Inez interact with a [[library]] map in the real world, they accidentally allow Hacker access to Motherboard and she becomes infected with the virus. The kids are brought into Cyberspace and join forces with Digit, a creation of the Hacker who escaped his control. Together they protect the world from the Hacker and his clumsy, accident-prone assistants, Buzz and Delete, until they can recover the Encryptor Chip, a device stolen by Hacker that can nullify the virus and bring Motherboard back to full strength.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Erickson|first1=Hal|title=Television Cartoon Shows: An Illustrated Encyclopedia, 1949 Through 2003|date=2005|publisher=McFarland & Co|isbn=978-1476665993|edition=2nd|pages=227–228}}</ref>

Cyberspace consists of planet-like bodies called Cybersites, with each site having a theme such as [[Ancient Egypt]], the [[American frontier]], [[Greek mythology]] and [[amusement parks]]. These sites represent the diversity of websites on the Internet and reflect the many ecosystems and neighborhoods of Earth. The Cybersquad travels to many of these locations in order to protect them from Hacker and each inhabited Cybersite has a unique type of Cybercitizen they interact with.

==Characters==
===CyberSquad===
* Jackie (voiced by Novie Edwards) is a [[Jamaican Americans|Jamaican-American]] girl who loves to keep things neat and organized in order to figure things out. Jackie's biggest pet peeve is slimy and icky stuff like bugs and many other "gross" things. Like Inez, she was very fond of Slider. In a running gag in Seasons 1 & 4, Jackie freaked out when in crisis, pacing for 2 or 5 seconds while trying to figure out a solution, saying "Make room, I gotta pace!"
* Matt (voiced by [[Jacqueline Pillon]]) is an [[Irish Americans|Irish-American]] boy who likes skateboards and collecting things. He is impulsive, impatient, tells jokes and has a great interest in sports. He has a pig named Sherman on his family's farm. Matt's backpack contains his many [[yo-yo]]s, which he is very good at using and often plays with one whenever he is thinking hard about something. He frequently calls Inez by the nickname "Nezzie", much to her annoyance. It is also shown he can be quite protective of her at times.
* Inez (voiced by [[Annick Obonsawin]]) is a [[Hispanic and Latino Americans|Hispanic American]] girl who has an excellent vocabulary for which the others often tease her. Despite being the youngest human member of the gang, she is the smartest one. Whenever she is thinking up a solution, Inez has a habit of doing headstands to help her concentrate.
* Digit, nicknamed Didge by various people and Didgey by Delete (voiced by [[Gilbert Gottfried]] in seasons 1–13 and [[Ron Pardo]] in seasons 14–present), is a "cybird" ([[portmanteau]] of "[[cyborg]]" and bird), who works for Motherboard and is the kids' best friend. He and the kids protect Cyberspace and Motherboard from Hacker. Digit was originally created by Hacker and worked for him along with Buzz and Delete, but escaped after learning of Hacker's true intentions. He became one of Motherboard's helpers, serving as Dr. Marbles' assistant. Digit can fly by spinning his tail feathers in a helicopter-fashion or flapping his wings. However, he has a fear of heights and prefers to walk. He is a cook and wrote his popular cookbooks ''The Cyber Chef'' and ''Cookin' with the Didge''. He carries many objects in his chest, including his miniature [[doppelgänger]], Widget. He can turn his beak into just about anything and bends it on occasion. He also can disguise his voice very well.

===Villains===
* Hacker, also known as The Hacker (voiced by [[Christopher Lloyd]]), is an self-centered [[mad scientist]] bent on conquering or creating ultimate chaos for Cyberspace, but he is almost always thwarted by the CyberSquad. Hacker was originally created by Doctor Marbles to assist Motherboard, but he rebelled and was exiled to Northern Frontier. Nevertheless, he does have the potential to become good again, as shown in a pair of episodes where he became a peaceful artist and when he helped the CyberSquad protect the trees in the Northern Frontier. He has a pair of cyborg lackeys, Buzz and Delete, whose reliability is quite variable; sometimes, he gets very peeved when he has to do things himself as Buzz and Delete cannot. 
* Buzz, nicknamed "Buzzy" (voiced by [[Len Carlson]] in seasons 1–5, and Philip Williams in seasons 6–15), is one of Hacker's henchmen. Buzz is a small spherical cyborg with a large mouth and scrawny limbs. Buzz seems to think he is a big tough guy; however, he can be kind at times and loves doughnuts. In later seasons, he and Delete have been on friendlier terms with the CyberSquad, occasionally joining their team to solve problems.
* Delete, nicknamed "DeeDee" (voiced by [[Robert Tinkler]]), is one of Hacker's henchmen. Delete is skinnier and taller than Buzz. Delete is loyal to Hacker for the most part but has occasionally helped the CyberSquad. Unlike Buzz, who is rougher around the edges, Delete is softer and more vulnerable to trickery and deceit. He cares deeply for three things; Buzz, whom he has a brotherly friendship with, his desired pet bunny George, and Zanko, his fairy borg father. In later seasons, he and Buzz have been on friendlier terms with the CyberSquad, occasionally joining their team to solve problems.

==="Cyberchase for Real"===
* Harry Wilson (played by Matthew A. Wilson) is a character in the "For Real" segment. He often dresses in a nerdish style and wears horn-rimmed glasses and Converse shoes. In many of the segments, he is easily determined and free spirited yet rather careless, which usually costs him his current job. He is also very creative and thought out when he encounters a problem.
* Bianca DeGroat (played by herself) is a character in the "For Real" segment of the series. She often uses the original plot to solve everyday real world problems. As a character, she is rather absent-minded, arrogant, self-centered and does not think before she acts. She is seen to get carried away very easily.
* Booker Jones (played by Carter Jones)
* Courtney Chu (played by herself)

===Team Motherboard===
* Motherboard (voiced by Kristina Nicoll) is the benevolent ruler of Cyberspace and mentor to the CyberSquad. She was weakened by a virus sent by Hacker, which was partially blocked by her firewall. The CyberSquad tries to recover the Encryptor Chip and keep Motherboard safe from Hacker.
* Dr. Marbles (voiced by Richard Binsley) is a smart and brilliant [[mechanic]] who serves Motherboard. He previously created Hacker to help and defend Motherboard, although Hacker would later rebel against Motherboard and try to destroy her. A guilty Marbles downgraded Hacker's power and banished him to the Northern Frontier for his misdeeds, right after Hacker vowed to return to finish Motherboard and Marbles off before conquering Cyberspace.
* Widget (voiced by [[Gilbert Gottfried]]) is a miniature doppelgänger of Digit who is stored in his chest. His hat, tail feathers and bow tie are not screwed on properly.
* Teeny Weeny "TW" Parallini (voiced by Isabel de Carteret) is a young [[parallelogram]] who is not scared of Hacker. Despite her mother forbidding her from helping the CyberSquad, she helps them find her uncle Diamond Joe.
* Fluff (voiced by Austin Dilulio) is a [[penguin]] who plays [[ice hockey]]. He is logical and does not buy into advertisements. Fluff is determined to follow in his father's footsteps and make his family proud.
* Creech (voiced by [[Sugar Lyn Beard]]) is the young ruler of the Cybersite, Tikiville. She became the apparent Big Kahuna after competing in a race with other Tikiville-inhabitants as well as Hacker. Creech is in some ways similar to Inez, helping the two to become friends easily. Both have a fairly similar outlook: optimistic until something goes completely wrong and they both have a large vocabulary. She also is the person in charge of Tikiville's Egg of Benedicta.
* Jules (voiced by [[Miklos Perlus]]) was first seen as a cave guard in the episode, "Crystal Clear" and is a good friend of the Cybersquad, but is often timid. He appears again in the episode "Jimaya Jam", where Hacker tricks him into pressing the nose of the Jam Master, causing Matt, Jackie, Creech and himself to get sucked into the chamber of Jimaya. He is often trying to find a job, but Hacker continuously tries to ruin it for him.
* Slider (voiced by Tim Hamaguchi) is a serious and [[James Dean]]-style 13-year-old [[skateboarder]] in Radopolis who builds and repairs skateboards and bikes. Since season 3, he has been a recurring character in the series. According to Slider, his father Coop had abandoned him when he was younger because Hacker had hunted Coop for many years. In the episode "Measure for Measure", he learns that his father abandoned him to protect him and to make sure Hacker does not get an interface card that would allow Hacker to transform into whatever he wishes. If such were to happen, Hacker could cause immense chaos and even rule Cyberspace.

===Minor and guest stars===
''Cyberchase'' has had many guest stars over the years, including [[Jasmine Guy]], [[Tony Hawk]], [[Al Roker]] and [[Geoffrey Holder]]. These guest stars appear as citizens of Cybersites, villains, animals, friends or rulers of the site.

===Cyberchase For Real===
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 Bianca DeGroat and Matthew A. Wilson (known as Harry Wilson on the show) are in their 30s, but amusingly act in a manner similar to the age of the target audience. "For Real" is produced by [[WNET]] 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 and fills the time gap where there might be breaks for "commercials". Some "For Real" segments can also be viewed online.<ref>{{cite web|title=Cyberchase Videos|url=http://pbskids.org/cyberchase/videos/|publisher=Thirteen|access-date=October 14, 2012}}</ref> In 2012, "[[PBS Kids Go!#Shorts and web series|Oh Noah]]", shorts that teach kids to speak Spanish, were used instead of re-running the "For Real" segments.<ref>{{cite news|last=Miramar-Garcia|first=Gabriel|title=PBS to broadcast Oh Noah! with Cyberchase for Hispanic Heritage month|url=http://www.rapidtvnews.com/index.php/2012091724088/pbs-to-broadcast-oh-noah-with-cyberchase-for-hispanic-heritage-month.html|access-date=October 14, 2012|newspaper=Rapid TV News|date=September 17, 2012}}</ref> The "For Real" segment returned in season 9. Beginning with Season 11, DeGroat and Wilson were joined by Courtney Chu, who plays Harry's niece, and [[Jaden Michael]], who plays Bianca's nephew. In later seasons, they assume the role of host for the live-action segments, along with other children, including [[Violet Tinnirello]] as Alex.

==Development==
===Conception===
''Cyberchase'' was conceived in 1999 as an educational show that aims to show kids that math is everywhere and everyone can be good at it. The series encourages viewers to see, think, and do mathematics in their world. The show and supporting activities have been designed to support math education and reflect the curriculum standards of the [[National Council of Teachers of Mathematics]].<ref name="nctm">{{cite web|url=http://www.nctm.org/|title=National Council of Teachers of Mathematics|publisher=Nctm.org|access-date=October 5, 2012}}</ref> The show's philosophy is to foster enthusiasm for math, to model mathematic reasoning, to help children improve their problem-solving skills and to inspire all children to approach math with confidence and a "can-do" attitude.<ref name="educationalPhilosophy">{{cite web|url=https://www.pbs.org/parents/shows/cyberchase/about|title=Cyberchase Learning Goals|publisher=Pbs.org|access-date=October 5, 2012}}</ref> 

Later seasons place less emphasis on mathematics and more on science related content. Science education concepts covered on the show include environmentalism, wellness, [[habitat fragmentation]], [[marine ecology]], and  [[indoor air quality]].

===Production===
Originally, Thirteen produced the show in partnership with Ontario-based [[Nelvana Limited]] for [[PBS Kids]]. It aired on PBS Kids since 2002, and on V-me (dubbed in Spanish) and [[PBS Kids Go!]] from 2004 to 2013. Cyberchase has been animated by Pip Animation Services Inc. since season six; Right Path Pictures did post-production, and Curious Pictures did the original character design. 

Twelfth Root Music produces the sound track for Cyberchase. 

[[WNET|Thirteen/WNET New York]] and [[Nelvana Limited]] produced the first five seasons, while Thirteen, in association with Title Entertainment and WNET.ORG, produced seasons six and on.<ref name="programSummary">{{cite web|url=https://www.pbs.org/parents/shows/cyberchase/about|title=About Cyberchase|publisher=Pbs.org|access-date=2012-10-05}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.pbs.org/parents/shows/cyberchase|title=Cyberchase. Home I PBS Parents|website=[[PBS]]|access-date=October 11, 2016}}</ref> Seasons 1 to 5 used traditional animation, while the sixth season onward used Flash animation.

===Broadcast syndication===
The show was syndicated worldwide to countries like the United Kingdom until 2004.{{Citation needed|date=February 2021}}

==Reception==
===Critical response===
On the site ''[[Common Sense Media]]'', the show was rated four out of five stars. The reviewer, Joly Herman, commented that "the adventures aren't scary, violent, or sexually inappropriate" but "require fortitude and brain power". Proposed discussion points sprouting from the series include "Can your child take the skills learned in each episode and figure out how to apply it to everyday life?" Herman noted that the only downside was that the adventures did not take place in the "real world" but added that the "For Real" segments solved this problem.<ref name="CommonSense">{{cite web|url=http://www.commonsensemedia.org/tv-reviews/cyberchase|title=Cyberchase|access-date=January 2, 2011|author=Herman, Joly|publisher=common sense media}}</ref>

Carey Bryson of ''[[About.Com|About.com]]'' gave the show a rating of four out of five stars. Bryson noted that the series' explanations of "simple mathematical idea[s]" are "usually explained well and woven throughout the story in a fun and interesting way". The review commended the series for its accessibility: "Children can easily learn from the example in the cartoon story" and praised the "Cyberchase For Real segment that follows each episode". Citing an example from the series using codes, Bryson explained how the show could be used to expand upon the curriculum: "Not only did [her five-year-old] learn about codes, but she also got in a ton of spelling practice". Bryson commended the series: "Educationally, ''Cyberchase'' delivers".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://kidstvmovies.about.com/od/cyberchase/fr/Cyberchase.htm|title=Cyberchase – TV Show Review|access-date=January 2, 2011|author=Bryson, Carey|work=About.com|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100903175503/http://kidstvmovies.about.com/od/cyberchase/fr/Cyberchase.htm|archive-date=September 3, 2010|url-status=dead}}</ref>
