   I loved this show. I'd always hoped to have a chance to skate roller derby. This show gave many of us the spark we needed to look up a local league or *create* one and start skating. It was truly an inspirational show.… Expand

   This was the best show on television; it replaces HBO's Carnivale (also cancelled) as my favorite. After seeing most of the Rollergirls episodes when they were aired, I have watched the DVD's from beginning to end, and am starting throiugh them again. I have also bought DVD's of recent TXRD bouts from austin.com and they were great. The girls are quirky, adorable, fascinating and I love the whole grass roots superheroine concept. I may have to travel (from Philadelphia) down to Austin to see a bout or two! The production of the series was marvelous, and the unpredictable and meandering and ambiguous development of the "story lines" mirrors real life. Plus the idea of legitimate (unfixed) roller derby also is radical! The only problem is that I have yet to find anyone in my circle ot friends and acquaintances who even saw the show! So much for the marketing of it...… Expand

   Being from Texas, I've seen the Rollergirls in action and know a couple. On that note however, I'm really disappointed in this show. It doesn't seem very interesting and the plots and character development all seem pretty flat and 2 dimensional. Despite the tattoos and craziness (like teepeeing houses whoa) they almost come off as caricatures rather than interesting people. I've heard more hipster-friendly country music in one episode than in my over 20 years of living here. What's with the editing too? In the first episode one of the announcers has a shaved head one minute than a full head of hair in the next? All in all I think it was a hard subject matter to make into a series to begin with and the creators fell short of the mark. Without a real deep look into the subjects all that is left is the novelty of rollerderby and that wears off after the first 10 minutes.… Expand
