Daring And Grace Teen Detectives?
Edited by jormis29
i have been down so many wiki and imdb rabbit holes. please help. here's the facts as best as i can remember:
-was on air late 90s to early 2000s -definitely aired in Canada, perhaps elsewhere -a kid's dad goes missing (is presumed dead perhaps?) and this kid has to go stay with their aunt. either their sibling(s) or cousin(s) are also staying in this house. -they find out the dad is a private detective of some sort and communicate with him via a big screen in the basement of auntie's house(...?!) they take up his mantle of detecting stuff. -there's an ominous character that's around town that they try to get information on. The Bent Nose Man? The Bald Headed Man? Slender Man!? somehow they refer to him in relation to his appearance. he seems to be the key in whatever is keeping Dad in hiding. -in one episode the Aunt is trying telephone dating and the kids have some software that analyzes voices and tell her which of her potential mates are sketchy. they end up using this software to bring down a local DJ (either with a jungle-themed name or at a jungle-themed club) who is wanted for arson and they have two voice recordings of his to match.
TIA
