Internet. Serious Business.

Heeeeeyyyyyyyy Duuude…

The one thing I remember from this show is the blonde actress (Christine Taylor) being hot as hell when you are a little kid. Then we see her many years later in a bunch of movies. I forgot sh e was actually in the Wedding Singer as Drew Barrymore’s whore of a friend. She then showed up as a sex deprived character in Zoolander before she got tag teamed by Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson. The movie Dodgeball of course playing a dodgeball badass as well as a bisexual sex pot. Damn she is kind of slutty in movies eh? Hey…what was I talking about?

Oh yeah…Heeeyyyyy Duuuude. While the previous paragraph greatly detracts from the wholesome family/kids show that Hey dude was I can guarantee you that kids like htot chicks just as much as grown men so really it has a big effect on why the show was popular and why I remember it.

Anyways, this show was the first original Nickelodeon live action show. Remember back when it was “Nick Nick Nick. Nick Nick Nick. Nickelodeeeoooonnnn”!? Of course you do, and now it is in your head again. Try getting it out with “Honeycomb’s Big! YEAH YEAH YEAH! It’s not Small! NO! NO! NO!”

So…Hey Dude. It was some kids on a Dude Ranch called “Bar None Dude Ranch” (Oh how clever). They went around doing chores all day I think. Maybe it was a camp or something I don’t remember. Oh yeah…the owner was the dad from ALF! LOL He was an accountant that wanted to get away from the big city. Dar.

The other characters were his kid Buddy who whined about not being able to skateboard in the desert or some crap and not havina his netbooks or something. The name given to idiots mostly. The cool kids were two boys and two girls. The boys were Ted, an enterprising troublemaker, and Danny, an easy-going Hopi Indian. The girls were girl-next-door Melody and rich girl Brad, from Grosse Pointe, Michigan who often wore dressy designer outfits at work, but was a very competent horse-rider. Her love-hate relationship with Ted was a plot thread during the first half of the series.

Obviously hilarity and life lessons ensued of some sort.

Yippie Tai Yai Yeah!

Hey Dude Theme:
