More info...they had a website that had cartoon pictures of the cast. The computer was depicted as a talking head on a screen that looked sort of like a cross between Max Headroom and Egon Spengler. Anyone remember what show this was? I think it aired sometime in the mid- to late-90s, like around 1997 or so.
The time frame and the Egon-looking face on the computer makes me think of Where On Earth Is Carmen San Diego, but none of the other details really seem to match up.
I think you're talking about the Kinetic City Super Crew
Kinetic City Super Crew looks like it's the right answer. Thanks, Pseudosyne! But do you or anyone remember what the name of the computer was?
Further searching reveals that the computer's name was ALEC. Thanks again!
Kinetic City Super Crew had a cartoon? I thought it was just on radio.
I don't think it was a cartoon, I only said that the website had cartoon drawings of the cast.
I remember a kids' show on NPR where it was a bunch of kids on a train who would solve mysteries using science. They had a computer that would speak to them and help them out. The only character I remember was a side character with a French accent named Claude Clueless (pronounced kloo-LAY) who hated it when people pronounced it the English way.
