Hey Dad..!

Hey Dad..!'s appeal is in making the lives of the characters something we all wish we could have. It is so easy to identify with them, and although their lives seem crazy, we wish sometimes our lives could be a little crazy, which would be better than our day-to-day lives. Hey Dad..!'s comedy is usually reliant on sarcasm, the quintessential feature of Aussie humour, although by today's standards it doesn't seem so bad anymore. It takes us back to the good old days of comedy without necessarily criticising other people, as well as some decent morals, things today's television lacks.

Its finest hour would have to be its 1992 season, probably the reason Channel Seven runs it so often. This is when the writing quality reached its peak.

Don't criticise it because of its non-aggressive humour. Just take it as it is. It'll do you good.

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.

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!!

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.

Hey dad would have to be the best Australian sitcom they made for awhile it was great all the way through thanks to Julie McGregor who played Betty if it wasn't for her the show wouldn't have been the same i find it much more entertaining then different strokes which i found a big joke glad they stop making that crap i rate Hey dad 10/10 well acted.
