Roundhouse

Roundhouse was an American sketch comedy television series that aired on Nickelodeon from August 15, 1992 through January 27, 1996. The show is created by Buddy Sheffield and Rita Sheffield Hester.
==Show Description==
* Roundhouse debuted as a part of the original SNICK lineup on August 15, 1992. Buddy Sheffield, a former In Living Color writer, and Rita Sheffield Hester created and produced the series. Recording artist Benny Hester was the music producer as well as co-producer of the series. They titled the show in reference to the roundhouses used by train companies to redirect railroad cars in any direction. This was in line with the show's theme song, in which the characters stated "we can go anywhere from here". In addition, the set for the show mirrored the interior of a roundhouse.
Following the first season, cast member Dominic Lucero was diagnosed with Lymphoma. He left the show for treatment, returning for several episodes in the show's third season. One month before the show's final episode was taped, Lucero died on July 1, 1994, at the age of 26. At Lucero's request, his illness was never mentioned on television. The final show, however, was dedicated to his memory. Despite his absence, Dominic's name remained in the opening and closing credits throughout all four seasons of the show.
Each episode revolved around the Anyfamily and their problems in daily life. At the end of the show, a cast member would say the line (in some various way) "Reprise the theme song and roll the credits," where the cast would sing the theme song a cappella followed by a dance while the credits roll. The half-hour show, taped in front of a visible live audience, was broken up into sketches, dance sequences, and musical performances by both cast members and the house band. All music used on the show was written specifically for Roundhouse. Crystal Lewis and Shawn Daywalt were the principal vocalists for most of the songs in the first season. After Lewis left the show to pursue her career in Christian Contemporary Music, she was replaced by Lisa Vale, who left the series after Season 2; and was replaced by Amy Ehrlich, Jennifer Cihi and Shawn Munoz. Natasha Pearce became the principal vocalist for Season 4, but Vale returned for the fourth season as well.
The series stars Julene Renee, John Crane, Seymour Willis Green, Micki Duran, Natalie Nucci, David Sidoni, Mark David, Alfred Carr Jr., Shawn Daywalt and Ivan Dudynsky.
