martysmovies I never quite got into Hey Dad - it was so hit and miss. But worse was the spin off TV show set in a share house. When Mr Kelly turned up to check if it could be turned into a colloseum, that was about it's lowest point! And then it turned out to be heritage listed for Banjo Patterson! Jaysus.. but anyway, Hey Dad - we all know Nudge was cool. But Betty was one of the worst characters on Australian television. Simone was borrowed from Paradise Beach. Stan from Walgatt was underused gold! The stuttering guy should never have been allowed on television. And the little fat kid probably grew up to be heath ledger.I have heard there's a Hey Dad MOVIE being made? Can anyone confirm this for me??? PLEASE Say NUDGE has taken over the Kelly Business!!

christian-wilkinson Surely one of the lamest shows ever to be produced on these shores and thats saying something. Even many of the lead actors didn't stick around for the duration. The fact that it ran for eight years is a sad indictment on the average intelligence and cultural nous of the Aussie viewer. It went round and round in circles, with repetitive gags and poorly-drawn characters. Arthur MacArthur, for god's sake. did they actually pay the writers of this show? I wonder if anyone checked their qualifications. There were tired gags about rural people and second-rate farce situations that were poor imitations of a thousand English and US sitcoms that had gone before. I think that's what I hate about it so much, that it appears no one involved wanted to make it memorable, original or clever, instead opting for the lowest common denominator each time.

NASCARaddicted I think, this comedy series is one of the best I have ever seen. If you are searching for a good laugh, try "Hey Dad". I can watch it 1000 times, and I can always laugh over the jokes. After watching this show over some time, the actors are almost becoming something like family members. When it was on air in my country, I never missed an episode.

t-man-7 Yeah Hey Dad. Hmm I'm trying to think of some really nice things to say about it. Basically when Nudge left, the wheels fell off and the show should have been cancelled. Instead they start replacing characters constantly and bring in the "little fat kid" and the show is looking awful. In its day (i.e. 1980's) it was funny. Now I need therapy to remove it from my mind.
