This show had a run one summer on Fox and I watched EVERY DAY! I was obsessed. I also had a slight crush on Pete Twist played by Sam Vandenburg. I happened to remember his name and look him up on here and was surprised to see that Round the Twist was on here! Nobody I've ever met saw that show unless I made them watch it when I was watching it so often. I was quite mad when they took it off. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I too, would buy it if they sold it on video! My favorite episode was "Without My Pants" (I think that was the title) That was hilarious. :o) If anybody has any info on this show or the actors in it, please contact me. Thanks! Katrina
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.

Like many Aussie kids of my generation, I grew up with Round The Twist.
I was in Kindergarten when it was first made and the first series as well as the second were the ones that contained the most memorable stories and characters. The abandoned room with the soothing sounds of music coming from the old instruments is still playing in my ears till this day.
Every part of each story was very original and the third and fourth series were a very big disappointment considering the weak cast and the stories were an absolute let down due to the fact that a lot of it came straight out of fairy tales.
The actors who played each of the Twist children in the first two series did an excellent job compared to anything the actors of the third and fourth series could have delivered.
I hope that the Round The Twist series will always remain an Aussie classic to be watched by many generations to come.

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 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.
