User Reviews

Nick at its best

"Roundhouse" was the best show Nickelodeon ever had. It was witty, upbeat, hilarious, and thoroughly entertaining!

When "Snick" used to be on, I would usually only watch 'til 9, 'cause "Roundhouse" always satisfied my hungry TV head. (By the way, that was a pun intended....does anyone remember the song Dominic(r.i.p.) -sang, called "TV Head"?)

I am a TV head, I watch it day and night------ And when I go to bed I use it as a night-light---- TV HEAD, TV HEAD, WATCH IT 'TIL MY EYES TURN RED----- TV HEAD, TV HEAD, PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME GO TO BED----..................................(and so on..).........

I didn't even mention how good these performers' voices were.. All of them were singers, dancers, AND comedians! Allthesame, they were physically diverse, though the chemistry between them was ALWAYS there. That's why the show seemed to work so well. I truly believe that my life will not be complete if I don't see just one re-run of "Roundhouse" in my lifetime.
