  1. I was watching Round The Twist this morning and have been all week (I just bought all 4 seasons on DVD) and the episode I watched today featured Mr. Snapper quite a bit. To come on and read about this only hours rather today is quite ironic. RIP.

  2. Was great on Round the Twist!

    Crash Zone was about a group of teenagers working for a company testing video games. It was better than it sounds. Was on 7 like in early 2000s i think, saturday mornings after Saturday Disney I think….

  3. Unfortunelty Esben Storm was the last of the reall creatives especially in childrens Tv. Round the Twist was awesome still love watching the reruns on ABC 3. I have never heard of Crash Zone can anyone fill me in what it was about.
