7. Roundhouse - 1992-1994- Before there was All That , there was Roundhouse . Roundhouse was one of the first shows in the Nick's Snick , Saturday Night Lineup . This sketch comendy was different from All That , because even though it was a sketch comedy show , the whole point was to teach children a lesson through their comedy sketches . What was cool about this show too , the actors were all from different countries . There was even a girl from Austria! If I remember correctly , this show was on at 8:30 , right smack in the middle of Snick .
What really was touching about this show was the life of one its cast members . His name was Dominic Lucero , who before Roundhouse had a cameo in the Disney movie Newsies . He was diagonsed with Lymphatic Cancer , and had to leave the show , after the first season . He then appeared in the show's third season every now and then . Yet , every season his name and picture still appeared in the show's opening credits . In the last episode of Roundhouse , they ended the show with a " In Memory Of Dominic Lucero" , who died in Aug of 1994 . He was only 26 years old , he was supposed to have his 27th birthday that August of 94 .
I don't know why this show didn't last past 94 , Part of it could've been the death of Lucero , and part of it might have been that most of the producers on the show wanted it to end , and at this point , sad to say , is when Nick slowly started to go downhill .
In conclusion , Nick by 1999 or so really started to go downhill . Too many stupid cartoons , and not enough Live Action Comedys . Nick Back in the day, when I was growing up it was all about the Live Action Comedys. Not Friggin Rocket Power .. or Jimmy Gaytron .. whatever his last name is . Some of These shows especially Salute Your Shorts need to be realased on DVD , for the true Nick Fans , not for the " New" Fans of this generation of Nick .
