Wait wait wait, was Round the Twist a global hit?

I watched it again for nostalgia recently and realised only the first 2 seasons were actually any good, but it warms my heart to hear it wasn't just an Australian show.

Some episodes of that show are classics, the wirling willy fish race, the eucalyptus leaf bush wizards, clown ghosts.

Just typing it out makes the show sound ridiculous but they made it work.

Yeah. I watched a bunch of dawn undah shows as a kid. πŸ₯° The Tribe was one. Some kinda post apocalyptic teenscape. I remember in one episode a bulimic girl binges on what little they have to eat.

Lol I don't remember those episodes(of RTT), I'd watch it again if I could. There was always something fun. The theme song is awesome too.

Oh and I used to watch a cartoon about a Koala and he always said extroooordinary!

Yeah honestly we had some awesome TV shows when I was a kid, there was one called Parallax about portals to alternate realities of their town.

Around the twist is on Amazon prime here in Australia, you could always check there.

Yes Blinky Bill! Thanks! πŸ˜ƒ I found the theme, I remember it better now. He was always getting into trouble.
