Hey Dude

I loved this show when I was growing up. Actually, it was among my favorite shows. I remember waking up on Saturday morning and going downstairs to eat Cinnamon Toast Crunch and watch the show. Sure, it may not be the best show ever, but as far as cheesy shows go, this was a keeper. It was always cute and amusing. I found it fascinating to watch how teenagers acted when I was six... It's too bad Nickelodeon doesn't play it anymore. I know I would still get up on Saturday mornings if it was...

This was the best show on when I was a kid. I don't know actually how good the acting was cause I didn't know how to judge it then. But, I loved it. It was my favorite show. I'd still watch it if it was on. I thought it was soo cool that they lived on a ranch. And the actors were so funny. I wanted to go live with them. Whenever I see one of the actors on another TV show or a movie I identify them by their character on Hey Dude. Anyways, I loved this show. I wish it was still on the air.

"Hey Dude," along with shows like "You Can't Do That On Television," "Clarissa Explains It All," "The Adventures of Pete & Pete," "Salute Your Shorts," "Roundhouse," and "Are You Afraid Of The Dark?" brings instant pangs of nostalgia to those who grew up on Nickelodeon as it passed from the 80s to the 90s, before it was overtaken by animated programming (though later shows like "The Secret World of Alex Mack" and "All That" managed to launch a few careers). While it wasn't perfect (Melody ISN'T the attractive one?), it was great fun, uncomplicated without being insulting to kids, and had characters who were unique and likable in context - except for Lucy as the all-purpose wisdom dispenser. The stories managed to stay lightweight yet engaging, and it was interesting observing what we would later know as sexual tension between the lead male and female (David Lascher and Kelly Brown). It's a shame that it never made it to video or at least reruns - it's due for a marathon.

This show is a situation comedy set on a western ranch, complete with daily problems, love interests, pretty girls, friendships, and horses to make it unique. I'll always remember the Bar None as a great place with caring friends. Despite the additions of new characters, it still remained cool and a lot of fun to watch.

gosh, i'm only 18 and i'm already acting like i'm a senior..."remember when...?" But I remember how much i used to love this show when i was younger. This one and Salute your shorts. I remember with my tiny tv in my bedroom, on Saturdays i made sure that i had my dinner and enough snacks to last me through both shows so that i didn't miss a second! I think these were two of the best shows that Nick had. But the stuff today for kids is just ridiculous. Nothing like what we had, with all of the 'lessons' and the true acceptable comedy in them.
