Cyberchase, otherwise referred to as Cyber for short, is an animated science fantasy children's television series that aired on PBS Kids.
Plot
[change | change source]The series centers around three children from Earth - Jacqueline "Jackie" Marissa Lora Mitchell, Matthew "Matt-Dude" Alexander Hale Quinlan, and Inez "Nezzie" Maria Jessica De La Cruz. They were brought into Cyberspace, a digital universe, in order to protect the world from the villain T. Hieronymous Joseph the Hacker (voiced by Christopher Lloyd). These kids are able to prevent Hacker from destroying Cyberspace by means of problem-solving skills with basic math. In Cyberspace, they meet Digit "Didge" LeBoid (voiced by Gilbert Gottfried for the first thirteen seasons, later voiced by Ron Pardo since the fourteenth season), a cybird that helps them on their missions.[3]
