It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

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.

I am a freshman in college and the other day a bunch of my friendsand I started looking online for old shows that we used to watch onTV to see if we could buy any. When the Classic Snick: Vol 1 and 2came on the screen, I got sooo excited because I thought, maybeRoundhouse would be on there. And it was. But only twoepisodes (one on each tape). I hope someday I could buy all of the all; including the PILOT. Please who ever has the shows, please put all of the episodes ontape or DVD and stop making "Roundhouse" fans around theworld suffer like this. It's the greatest show ever! Please! There are so many websitesfor "Roundhouse" and so many fans. You would think they wouldat least put the episodes on a tape or DVD so we could buy it. They have shows like "Friends" and "Sex and the City" on tape. Allof the episodes (eventually). You would think they could do thesame for all the classic snick shows or/and the classic Nick Jr.shows. Because nick is not as great as it was in the 90s. That iswhat everyone is saying and thinking. What ever happened to the Noozles or Maya The Bee? So whom ever has the power/has the tapes of these classicshows, please put it on DVD! It's a goldmine! YOU WOULD GETSO MUCH MONEY because so many people around the world loveall those shows and since Nick is so much different now then itwas in the '90s, it would let us grownups become kids again for acouple of hours watching old shows and thinking about the past. At least have a channel that has all the old Nick shows on and let itbe a new channel so everyone with cable can see it (not digitalcable, reg. cable). I know I'm rambling on but it needs to be said. Everyone is saying how they loved the show "Roundhouse" but noone is saying that they would go and buy these shows on DVD. If more of you guys would say you would buy them, maybe it wouldhappen. So say this on your websites and maybe it will happen. "IWOULD BUY THE COMPLETE 4 SEASONS OF "ROUNDHOUSE" AND ANYOTHER OLD CLASSIC NICK SHOW IF IT WERE Available TO THE PUBLIC ON DVD OR TAPE." OK thanks!Rachel -

Wow! this is the best example of classic Nick. Surfed on over here from the Newsies page. The cast of this show was so talented (remember the dancing?) This was back in the day of Clarissa Explains it all and Pete and Pete. Pre-Alex Mack and Pre-Spongebob. Honestly a lot of what Nickelodeon does now really isn't up to par. They've geared a great deal of their programming towards 7 year olds. I remember when most of it targeted 11-13yr olds and I loved it. Ren and Stimpy, Old School Are You Afraid of the Dark and Roundhouse were my favorite shows. Ivan and Micki..you're not forgotten!! Anyways, yeah...a bit 'o' nostalgia for y'all.

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.
