The History of Nickelodeon's Hey Dude - Retro TV Review

Forgot about this one

I always thought Billy had no neck

Mexican is Native American

my grandma made us watch THIS show instead of GI Joe when i was a kid cause she seen GI Joe as "too violent" and it was just a cartoon

i never did like having a babysitter

Melody was definitely one of my very first crushes. ♡♡♡

Loved this show so much as a young kid in the early 90s.

I always had a thing for Lucy when I was a kid. I'm 40 now and my girlfriend is 53. I knew way back when I met her 11 years ago she reminded me of someone and I wasn't sure who until I saw this. She very strongly resembles Lucy who was also the older woman in the show. I guess I always had a type

The show didn't have a compelling story but it gave me much opportunity to imagine what I would do if I got to spend a summer on a Ranch.

As an old ass 42 year old, this theme song still makes me smile like a child.

HUUUGGGEE crush I had on the blonde...

i loved this show and always wanted to go to a dude ranch because of it.

Thank you for posting this. I wasn’t sure if this show was real or an imaginary tale I told myself as a youth.

Hated this show haha found it depressing

who doesnt like hey dude? It was right around the time nickelodeon started making the best shows of all time! today is a different time

I recall skipping over watching hey dude, but i do remember it. Salute Your Shorts, Pete and Pete and Clarissa were ones i def watched. Learned hey dude was filmed in my hometown so thats kinda neat lol

how do i still know ALL the words to that song?

Great kids show. Good times.

Cattle call, Dude Ranch, get it?! lol

This shows been in my head from when i was like 6. Couldnt remember the name, thought it was salute your shorts lol but thags a diff show

I've always turn this off after pete and pete. Show sucked

Say what you will, as a kid during this time period, this show was very watchable... Memorable or not...

🎶Hey Dude, don't make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.🎶
Most iconic theme song ever.

I’m 6 years late lol but while growing up I remember watching this and hating it but after a while my brother got me into liking it. Im glad I did. It was part of my childhood and I eventually love this show. 💜

Yeah, maybe I was a smidge too young, but yeah, I remember this as a fever dream of the theme...

Sometimes I do surprises. Usually after I break stuff.

David the Gnome was an absolute favorite!

Only thing I remember is the song

get along little doge lmao

I got this dvd set from my sister on my birthday last year!

Ya I really enjoyed this show too... I remember it well because it was all I had to watch. While I was locked in a damn basement with no windows. For most of the day at a daycare. Several children of all ages running around mad playing with whatever toys they could find. While Nick TV shows played loudly in the background.

From Texas: it’s “get along little dogeys!” 😂 it’s a motherless calf and my junior high school mascot 😬😅

Hey, way to throw that guy under the bus. You are truly an inspiration!

Just realized that the reason why they went with "Yippie Tia Yia Yea!" is because the movie Die Hard came out the year before this and they probably didn't want the words to the song conflated with John McClain's famous saying at the end of the movie!

I quote "do surprises" sometimes

My goodness the nostalgia!!! You just unlocked a SUUUUPER CORE MEMORY!!!!

Being that this was a children's show, you have to give it some slack. What's really sad is that a lot of the same juvenile behavior can now be seen in 'adult' reality shows!

Get along little dougies!

My family had one of those giant wooden box TVs too 😂😂😂😂

I loved it was my favorite..... now it's nostalgic....I used to hurry home from school just to watch it

Salute your shorts was cool but I liked hey dude

Every time, one miniute into the episode I changed the channel, and surfed the remaining channels feeling the show was lame.

Brad was my first tv crush ever. I remember being 7 years old and just pining for her. I watched this show religiously just to see her.

No matter what, millions of light years better than anything that Dan guy and his bakery put out.

Dear Lord! I haven’t thought of this show for years! This was the kid soap opera…I felt very adult watching 😂 Core memory unlocked!

I'm 42 so this show was definitely my era. Of all the old shows I used to watch that appear on Paramount plus now, this is the only one I can stomach. I think it's great as an adult.

Salute Your Shorts retrospective? Yes, please.
