Hey Dude

It's so hard to describe this show. It was top-notch everything, and I find it interesting that Nickelodeon had something that worked, and then had to change it all. Old nick shows like these aren't shown anymore excluding Rugrats. I hope that they will bring it back, but in the mean time I can enjoy all the 65 episodes on tape, even though they're of poor quality. I like watching them during the summer the most, it's as if it's a time warp to my childhood. Who didn't have a crush on Melody? Who didn't want Brad and Ted to get together? Remember gastrothrombosus? I hope to be able to meet some of the cast members some day, even though it seems no one knows where they're at (Except for Ted and Melody of course.) I recommend this show for all ages, this timeless TV show will never age.

I miss watching shows like Hey Dude--good, wholesome fun! I remember watching and imagining that Melody, Ted, Brad, Danny, & the gang were my friends. I hope Nickelodeon will show the episodes more often.

This show is one of my brightest childhood memories. I fondly remember even the theme music. The goofy juvenile humor was classic in its purity...I'd sell a kidney to find out whatever happened to Galkin or Torres, for that matter. It's really a crying shame that kids today don't have goodies like "Hey, Dude" of their own. I would have settled for a rotating cast and horrible laugh tracks just to get it back.

"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.

I always tuned into this show with my sister it was awesome it was funny it had some romance and great actors. Nickelodeon had a great show here aside from Clarissa explains it all and you can't do that on TV. The Bar None ranch was a place you could go to just relax and have the staff in to so crazy antics in each episode. Some of these actors have gone on to do other things like David Lascher and Christine Taylor. This show was great and i wish they would air reruns i loved this show i grew up with it.
