* NamesTheSame:
** One of the villains in this show is a blonde woman named Tigress who wears a tiger costume. This is pretty similar to the Creator/DCComics character Artemis Crock a.k.a. Tigress, whom casual audiences will recognize from the ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010'' animated series.
** Saira Bellum shares an awfully similar name to ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998''' Sara Bellum, minus the I.
** In the first episode of Season 3, Carmen is told she looks like a woman named Carlotta Valdez, [[spoiler: who she believes to be her mother]]. Given [[spoiler: her mother]] is somewhat of a LostLenore, it’s ironic her presumed name is shared with Carlotta Valdes of Film/{{Vertigo}}.

* ExecutiveMeddling: The spin-off series like ''Word Detective'' and ''Math Detective'' only really took off when a complex series of transactions brought ''Carmen Sandiego'' to a new owner.[[note]]So Brøderbund Software (owner of ''Carmen Sandiego'') and SoftKey (a Canadian CD collection manufacturer) were bidding on The Learning Company (which owned MECC, creators of ''The Oregon Trail''). SoftKey won and changed its name to The Learning Company Inc. (the original had no "Inc."). This happened in 1995. In 1998, The Learning Company Inc. acquired Brøderbund. In 1999, Mattel acquired The Learning Company, but they lost money, probably from making too many ''Carmen Sandiego'' spin-off titles. Then it was sold again to a new owner...[[/note]]
