Evil Waldo! If I'm not mistaken, they introduced a female Waldo at some point in this show, which isn't as amazing as the fact that this show lasted long enough to introduce a female Waldo.
Wilma and Odlaw were in the original books, though!
I didn't realise until just now that Odlaw was Waldo backwards, since the series is called 'Where's Wally?' over here.
The backgrounds are good because they obviously made an effort to recapture the style of the books, but the characters themselves are all Cal-Artsified and rubbish.
They had a couple of stationary scenes with the wacky narrator yammering for flavor. Plus each episode started with a short list of things to find throughout the actual episode, akin to the lists at the end of the books. One was the narrator's stolen car.
