Round The Twist has to be one of the most bizarre yet extremely fun kids show ever created. And it was all done here in Australia.
The first two seasons episodes are based on the stories of Paul Jennings known for his quirky yet weird hilarious tales.
Season 1 is really the standout season. It is the best cast line up of all four seasons. There is a lot of cast changes for the remaining three seasons. Season 2 is pretty good as well. Seasons 3 and 4 have there moments. But Season 1 will always be the best.
I give this 10/10 just for Season 1 alone.
Great for the kids and great for those of us who grew up with the show in the late 80's and 90's.

I remember watching this series when I was still at school. It was a completely mad dash of 25 minutes of escapism - from Ghosts to... everything else that is good about kiddies tv.!
If they ever release it on video - I would buy it!!

I watched this television series (well the first two seasons) with my brother. (I was in grade 13 and he was in grade 11) It is so great and funny that we made sure we saw every episode...you can't beat a show that has magic underwear and reverse spaghetti eating contests....I wish I had them on video because I would throw round the twist parties ....or something like that...
I think that the first series of Round The Twist (along with the original series of Eerie Indiana)is the best kids prog ever! I loved it's quirky sense of humour and great silly storylines. Someone else who commented on RTT loved the 'Without My Pants' one, well thats one of my faves too. I have some on video, but not that one!! I wish they'd repeat it cos it's worth seeing again. Pity none of the RTT gang seem to have done anything after cos they were all fab.
My Ausie roomate introduced me to this bizarre show, now I'm addicted, the theme song is stuck in my head and I demand a modern age sequel!!
I may be a 32 year old Nordic guy and I know this show was marketed towards Ausie kids in the late 80s but I can't help myself.. I want more of this!!!
