PowerHouse is a United States television series produced by the Educational Film Center at Northern Virginia ETV and aired on PBS for 16 episodes in 1982 (two episodes never aired). It billed itself as "a 16-part series for young people and their families," with the target audience being primarily kids, preteens, teenagers,& young adults, and it was widely praised by educational groups. The series was later rerun by Nickelodeon in the mid-1980s.
Set in Washington, DC, PowerHouse is focused on the adventures of a racially and ethnically diverse group of five teenagers and one adult from the inner city, based at a former boxing and sports gym headquarters turned community center for kids and teens. The center was founded by Brenda Gaines, a woman who inherited the place from her late father, a former boxing champion. The basic theme of the series is that every person is a source of creativity and power. “We all have a PowerHouse deep down inside,” it said in the theme song of the show.
The weight of the world
It pulls at the soul
Bringing you down to your knees
The faces of doom they stare down at you
Demanding and taking from thee
But now is the time to reclaim your life
We'll scream and we'll fight
To give you your right
The powerhouse set at full speed
Power, power, powerhouse
Unleashed tonight
Power, power, powerhouse
Ready to fight
Power, power, powerhouse
Comes from deep inside
Power, power, powerhouse
Unleashed tonight
The cries for deliverance
Are louder than hell
We listen to them in the night
But you now know the sign
So raise it in pride
The powerhouse stands by your side
You've torn down the walls
That held you so long
You've now smashed them
And thrown them aside
Now it's your turn to live
And your turn to give
Your metal heart beating inside
So rise from the ashes
Of what's now your past
And scream out loud VICTORY
Yes, join in our call, we welcome you all
The powerhouse has set you free
Power! Power! Power! Power!
The power we give
The metal we live
