A Definitive Ranking The Original 14 SNICK Shows

The big orange couch. The countdown clock. Comedy, variety, horror, and toons. Saturday nights would never be the same after these 14 shows.


14. The Mystery Files of Shelby Woo



Unfortunately, this promo more or less summarizes the quality of humor, the quality of acting, as well as the premise of the show. Pat Morita (of The Karate Kid fame) who played Shelby's grandfather wasn't enough to redeem it.


13. Space Cases



Easily the weirdest show on the list, which is saying a lot, because this list is full of weird entries. A group of misfit kids (each one from a different planet...and each possessing a superpower...from...that...planet? Rosie, from Mercury can produce a lot of heat. Makes sense, right?) stowaway on a ship that launches them into the far reaches of space and they're trying to make it back home, all while learning (because a teacher managed to come along too) and learning to get along (alien racism, man). It was too poorly acted to be important. But look, it's the Black Ranger!


12. The Journey of Allen Strange



The story of Allen Strange, the alien from a faraway planet who lands on earth, is better acted than Space Cases and Shelby Woo, and better handles race issues with its episodes than either of the former. Wait! Allen? Alien! ALIEN STRANGE!


11. Roundhouse



Before there was All That, the kids watching SNICK had Roundhouse. A group of triple threats (actor-singer-dancers) produced a half hour of sketch comedy revolving around a theme interspersed with dance breaks and songs. The cast was young and energetic, but the comedy wast mostly hit-or-miss. Perhaps ahead of its time, perhaps a little too clever for a late-night Saturday show, Roundhouse would rank higher if it had made a bigger impact.
