Roundhouse, man that show was a trip! I remember watching it on snick. Wild to think how different Nickelodeon was back then. I think I got a couple of old VHS tapes somewhere that might have some episodes, I'll try to digitize them if I find them, would be a hoot!

Yes, Roundhouse was definitely a pioneer for Nickelodeon's sketch comedy. It aired from 1992 to 1996 and was part of the original SNICK lineup. It was unique because it tackled more serious issues with a humorous twist, something not a lot of shows were doing. Finding clips is tough because it wasn't as popular as All That or Kenan & Kel. I suggest looking at fan forums or trading sites where collectors share old recordings. Sometimes libraries or universities with large video archives might have a copy.

Roundhouse? Now that's a name I haven't heard in years. I’m pretty sure my parents have some ancient cassettes from back in the '90s, but no guarantees they'd still play! Gotta love that low-budget, DIY vibe tho. Nickelodeon now could never!

I happen to specialize in finding lost media from Nick. Roundhouse was an iconic part of its time, very theatrical with the whole stage set and live music vibe. Sadly, it's largely underrated and consequently doesn't have much presence online. I'll look through my collections; sometimes these shows pop up on less known video hosting platforms outside of YouTube. Will post if I find anything!

Dude, Roundhouse was the bomb.com! You just took me back to the days of sticking a cassette in the VCR to record that jam. The jokes, the songs, it was all so good. They don't make 'em like that anymore!

Wasn't Roundhouse the show with that one skit where they did a whole musical number about chores? My memories are so vague but I remember laughing so much. It’s tough finding old clips, but maybe some snippets are buried in those '90s Nick compilations on YouTube?

Yeah I remember Roundhouse! Super underrated IMO. Last I checked there were a couple of clips floating around online, but the full episodes are like gold dust. Keep an eye on eBay for old tapes, or check out the NickRewind channel, they sometimes surprise us with old gems. Here's hopin’!
