Dis-donc, papa

But only the first four seasons! Hey Dad is one of the funniest shows I've ever seen. Sooner or later you'll become addicted to the show and it's very special kind of humor.

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.

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.

Did this show only run in Australia and Germany or why are all those who commented on it from either of those countries?

I really liked this show. I used to watch it every afternoon when it was on the air here..which was sometime in the early 90s. I don't think I've ever seen it since then, and I had no idea that the main characters were replaced until 5 minutes ago when I read it here.

But I did enjoy the episodes I saw a lot- the episodes from the very early seasons. They were entertaining, funny, and the characters were very likeable.

I was reminded of Hey Dad! by a site called "Jump the Shark". It's been a very long time since I've seen it but looking back it was surprising I grew up with an Australian sitcom alongside other shows such as Growing Pains and Family Ties.

As everyone probably knows the show's early years were the best but I persisted with it until a little kid showed up in the house and wasn't just a guest star. Hey Dad! didn't leave any real impression on me and the only jokes I remember today are Betty putting white-out on the screen of her new computer and Dad's Volvo being taken out for a joy ride with the car being put in reverse at 60 km/h.

I avoid Australian programs on commercial TV nowdays and I wonder if that's just because I'm older or because the programs in the 80's and early 90's were a lot better.
