Roundhouse (1992–1995)
Somewhere between 'All That' and 'SNL'
4 June 2004
I remember watching Roundhouse seasons 1-3 on "Snick" when I was a wee preteen-teen. Although it was catered to the young Nickelodean audience, I remember it having a lot of smart and witty pop culture jokes that would have humored older audiences. The actors were also very good--especially the actors who did voice impressions. I remember Clinton, Perot, Bush, Beavis and Butthead, Ren and Stimpy, Dan Quayle and other impressions that were dead on. There was an awful lot of dancing and singing as well, and sometimes the singing was very badly lipsynced. However, the show was impressive and fast-paced. Perhaps it could have found a better "home" on MTV, since the actors appeared to be in their late 20s and there was a heavy concentration on singing and "hip hop" dancing. I remember wanting to have the Motorized Recliner that the Dad character tooled around in. It would be nice if Nickelodean would still air some "early 90s" shows like Roundhouse, Salute Your Shorts, Hey Dude, and Ren and Stimpy. Classics...eh, well not really. It aimed to be SNL but never made it. However, it was much better than its replacement, the lame All That.
