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 series when I was a kid. It was my favorite show on the TV at that time and I always felt happy after watching it. Later on I forgot all about it till one day I stumbled upon its theme song on Youtube. I felt so nostalgic as I recalled every lyric of the song to which I grew up listening.
The series revolves around the Twist family; Tony Twist (father), Pete and Linda (twins) and Bronson (younger brother). They settle in a Lighthouse that turns out to be haunted, but the ghosts haunting it are very friendly and funny. The Twists go through many strange and interesting experiences throughout the series. The reason why I love it is that although the episodes are not based on a very strong plot or exceptional acting by the cast, yet it improved my mood every time I watched it.
I have to admit that I'd love watching it again, and I'm in my twenties.

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!!!

I first watched Round the Twist when Fox Kids brought it to there network and after about two months cancelled it. It was like Ripley's Believe it or Not, X-Files and So Weird mixed together. It was an excellent idea to mix spooky legends with a laugh-your-butt-off science fiction. I wish it was still on the air.
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.
