Award-winning film and stage actor Matthew Broderick will guest star as the voice of Max in a special \u201cFather\u2019s Day\u201d episode of Cyberchase \u2013 the Emmy Award-winning animated math series \u2013 premiering June 19 on PBS KIDS GO! (check local listings). In this exciting episode, Hacker sets out to ruin Father\u2019s Day while Max and the CyberSquad try to stop him.<\/p>\n

“My son loves Cyberchase, so I was happy to lend my voice to the show,\u201d said guest star Matthew Broderick. \u201cThe best part is that I haven’t told him I did it; I’m waiting to surprise him when we watch the episode together. I’m sure he’ll be more impressed by it than any other work I’ve done!”<\/p>\n

\u201cWe’re thrilled to have Matthew Broderick as a guest star in this special Cyberchase episode,\u201d said Neal Shapiro, President and CEO of WNET.ORG. \u201cOnly on Cyberchase would Father’s Day mix with math for a half hour of pure entertainment. As a dad, it’s a series I’m proud to have in the WNET.ORG family of programs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cyberchase features a trio of smart, curious kids who outwit the dastardly villain Hacker (Christopher Lloyd) during his mad quest to rule Cyberspace. With help of their bird pal Digit (Gilbert Gottfried), the CyberSquad uses math and brain power to foil Hacker\u2019s evil schemes. This time, it\u2019s the annual Father\u2019s Day Parade in Tikiville, and Max (guest star Matthew Broderick) is this year\u2019s Cyber Dad of the Year. Max was once a schoolmate of Hacker\u2019s \u2013 and continually bested Hacker in all of their endeavors. Hacker has decided it\u2019s time to get even. His dastardly scheme is to replace Max with a Max robot and make the robot do awful things during the parade. The CyberSquad must use number patterns to crack a series of coded messages sent by Hacker to save the day in Tikiville. Matthew Broderick voices both the easy-going, likeable Max and the evil Max robot in this thrilling Father\u2019s Day Cyberchase adventure.<\/p>\n
