Hey Dude is kind of a western version of "Saved By The Bell". It had all of the teen characters which the NBC series had, only this series pretty much ran on the Nick network. It usually ran on week day afternoons or Saturday afternoons.
I saw about 10 or 20 of these and to me the theme song was catchy especially the way they'd let the instrumental run loose during the shows closing credits. The plots were generally family friendly fare and the actors were all suited for their roles.
As is usual with these shows, the teens are always smarter than the adults, except for the one everybody made fun of. There was teen romance, and harmless fun for all. Now if DVD's of this come out & there are outtakes, that might be of more interest than the series is.
Overall, to me this was a pleasant series and a pretty decent way for Nick to fill air time around 1990. Hey Dude!!
