SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

TheMovieSmith Nickelodeon's first foray into the variety series genre was "Roundhouse". Each episode of the series tackled a subject familiar to most kids and teens with originality and imagination. The multi- talented cast was stellar, ranging from their signing abilities (Shawn Daywalt and Crystal Lewis)to their hip-hop, dancing in the streets style of dance (Seymour Willis Green, Alfred Carr, Dominic Lucero, Micki Duran, Julene Renee, and lead choreographer Ivan Dudynsky), and the comedic talents (Jon Crane, Mark David, and David Sidoni) of the cast were superb. All the topics (some which would be considered taboo in the modern PC culture) were done in good taste topped with enough immaturity to make it appealing to younger kids. The series signature wit, timing, and elaborate use of the scarce sets and props (most of which was cardboard boxes made to look TVs, etc) showed why one point Nickelodeon was a cable leader. Sure the series looks dated complete with the grunge elements of the early 90's but the series doesn't loose its charm when you remove your nostalgia goggles. Roundhouse was truly one of the greatest shows on TV in the 1990's.

bijou219 roundhouse was so great, one of the greatest sketch comedies of the early 90's. it was like "in living color" for teens. good luck finding reruns, cause herb scanell has a strangle hold over any and all snick shows of quality (roundhouse and space cases, those were the days!) it must suck to be him, with so much resentment directed at him. anyway, roundhouse fans tend to like newsies and space cases as well. word to roundhouse.

tsl88 I agree with others that feel that this show was on nick at a time when that channel had intelligent, humorous shows, that gave the audience credit as an able-minded, thinking population of television viewers. I see shows that are currently on Nickelodeon, and I am saddened at how downhill the channel has gone with such empty, violent shows that offer viewers little need to think.To those that don't know, cast member Dominick Lucero died in July 1994 of Lymphatic cancer. Looking at his small body of work he left behind, we were robbed of yet another talented performer too soon. Many of the cast members were in a movie called "Newsies" which is a good representation of these peoples talent as dancers and all around performers. Crystal Lewis went on to demonstrate her very powerful voice on religious television as a singer. As far as I know David Crane who played "the father" also directed many episodes and continued in this direction. I enjoyed watching these performers in their youth and would like to see how their talent has developed and what directions they have taken professionally and personally.

Cyprus386 If Nickelodeon had never had a Golden Age, children of my generation would be seriously screwed up, most people with talent would have been out of a job, and this show would have never seen an audience. Combining actual musical talent with sketch comedy, "Roundhouse" proved to be a success. However, fate ran its course, and this show was pulled off the airwaves just in time for a parade of mindless c**p such as "Catdog" and "Spongebob Squarepants", and countless other Nicktoons. This show, which some consider to be a spawn of the classic "You Can't Do That On Television", ended up being the gap between YCDTOTV and the mindless "All That". Now, if "All That" were to end and reruns of this and YCDTOTV were to come back, the next generation to vote in the year 2010 would be all too much better. My generation would be all too much better.
