Powerhouse was a shortlived PBS TV series in 1982 about the adventures of the staff and young clients of Powerhouse, a Washington, D.C. inner city community center. Think of it as essentially "The Bloodhound Gang" segments of 3-2-1 Contact expanded into its own separate series.Although the organization was founded by Brenda Gaines, the daughter of a late boxer, to be a refuge for local kids, the innermost circle find themselves in a myriad of adventures. With their amateur skills in science, health and fitness, the Powerhouse gang is more than a match for any criminal.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In addition, the main story is interspersed with "Uncommmercials," PSA's that promote health, fitness and cultural diversity. | |

Ancient Artifact: One is delivered to the local museum in "Master of the Art", but when the gang and the recently-fired museum security director suspect the building's alarm system isn't 100% effective, they try to prove it by staging a fake "heist". | |

Dawson Casting | |
| Powerhouse / int_7f2427a6 | comment |
Dawson Casting: Though averted with Jessica Prentice (Pepper) and Jason Kravits (Lolo), most of the "kids" in the main cast were considerably older than the characters they played, the most blatant example being Michael Wikes (Tony), who was 27 at the time. | |
