Cyberchase PBSKids - the world of cyberspace, a classic good-versus-evil battle rages! When the dastardly villain Hacker (voiced by Christopher Lloyd) launches a mad mission to conquer the virtual universe, Motherboard calls upon three Earth kids -- Jackie, Matt and Inez -- for help. They, along with the wise-cracking cyber-bird Digit (voiced by Gilbert Gottfried), travel from their real-world realm to the colorful virtual vistas of cyberspace where they face off with the bad guys in an all-out battle of wits. Each episode takes the kids on a thrilling adventure driven by a different math concept -- from tackling time in ancient Egyptian tombs, to cracking codes in creepy caves or making sense of numbers in a fractured fairy tale world. In their quest, the heroes use minds, not muscles, to confront obstacles and danger everywhere.
