Cyberchase: Starlight Night

Two exemplary episodes from the PBS Kids series featuring the heroic CyberSquad, a trio of bright kids who fight hackers with their math and logic skills, are compiled here. The title show finds the Squad prepared to celebrate the annual recharging of twinkling stars in Cyberspace, only to become engaged in battle with saboteur Hacker, a villain who plans to dim the heavenly lights for good. In the second episode, "Snow Day to Be Exact," Hacker is up to more mischief, freezing Cyberspace and challenging the Squad to find out what he did with the missing "sunisphere." A fast-paced, challenging adventure series that serves up solid entertainment while also encouraging young viewers to think, extras on the DVD version include the bonus episode "A Time to Cook," interactive games, a drawing featurette, sing-along, and bloopers. Recommended. [Note: Cyberchase: Totally Rad and Code Name Icky are also newly available.] Aud: K, P. (T. Keogh)
