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.
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 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!!

- TriviaRobert Hughes was an unpopular person among his colleagues. He was also the only cast member to have his own dressing room, which the other actors occasionally used. As a child, Sarah Monahan proudly told her close castmates of how she had urinated in Robert's shampoo bottle while he was out of the room, "so he could wash with it". She had also squashed mulberries all over his brand-new white car.
- GoofsThe glass panes above the external office doors are opaque and curved when viewed from the inside, but in exterior shots, the glass panes above the office doors are transparent and rectangular.
- Crazy creditsEach episode ends with a voiceover by one of the cast members, saying "Hey Dad..! is recorded in front of a studio audience. This has been a Gary Reilly Production for the Seven Network". Julie McGregor's version ends with "This is Betty speaking", while, in his earlier seasons, Ben Oxenbould's version ends with a stammer "...for the Se-Se-Se-Seven Network".
