Back in the saddle again! Twenty-five years after its series premiere, the cast and writers of Nickelodeon's cult hit Hey Dude reunited at the 2014 Atx TV Festival in Austin on Friday, June 6, which was the first time many of them had seen each other since 1991.

It’s another season of everyone’s favorite teenage ranchers, and though I know you thought it couldn’t get better, Hey Dude is back for more with a Season 2 release.
As I said in my review of the Season 1 release (and I went over the show pretty thoroughly, and won’t overly retread here), this is a show that makes you long for better demographically-targeted work today. While there isn’t anything about Hey Dude that exactly comes through as the next greatest thing, it’s fun and funny programming that the right age-group enjoys immensely, and remains in the category of utterly harmless as well.
By the time we get to the second season, we’re pretty comfortable with the characters, and the episodes reflect the fact. While the dynamics stay somewhat open in certain respects, we’re solidly in Ted is Ted country here. We’ve moved...

Unbelievably, Hey Dude, Nickelodeon's teen-focused, dude ranch extravaganza, started airing in 1989. That isn't unbelievable because of how long ago it was, but because I find it hard to imagine I was actually that old when it came out.
The misadventures of the Bar None Ranch was the first original, live-action program on the network. Though it didn't last an especially long time in first runs, it lived on for quite a while on the network, and paved the way for more original shows by the network that soon followed - Welcome Freshmen, Clarissa Explains It All, Salute Your Shorts, Doug, Rugrats, and many others.
Thus, odd as it may sound, the show has its place in TV history, and is pretty legitimately the forefather of the teen market of shows now ruled by such treasures as iCarly.
