The show had some lofty plotlines, but rarely had the budget to make them truly to come to life. That led to some… creative compromises. For example, one episode saw the teen detectives traveling to Kenya, even taking a boat ride down a jungle river.
Since airfare to Africa wasn’t in the budget, the whole thing was shot at the San Diego Zoo! In another instance, the desert mountains of New Mexico were actually green hills in southern California. Finally, a shiny new Los Angeles cemetery stood in for the ancient French Quarter burial ground of New Orleans.
