Alright, I finally got a chance to watch most of this DVD pack. This is a two disc set, that includes all 18 episodes of the first season, and as a bonus feature a recent interview with Christine Taylor. The actual packaging in itself is actually very nice and sturdy.
The reason I purchased this DVD pack was because, I vaguely remember this show from my childhood. It came out when I was 6 and went off the air when I was 8. Plus, I used my swagbucks to buy it. I figured if I didn't like it I really wasn't out much. Luckily, I still liked it alot. Yeah, it's very corny and has a lot of slap stick comedy. I think one of the reasons I liked it so much as a child and now is that the girls, Brad, Melody, and Lucy, are strong female characters. They weren't dumbed down and looked to the guys for help.
"Hey Dude" takes place at the Bar None Ranch in Arizona. Mr. Ernst is from the city and bought the ranch without really knowing what it takes to run the place. The show follows 5 kids and their "adventures" working on the ranch. Ted, is a senior staff member and gets in the most trouble, Melody is a lifeguard, Brad is a horse trainer, Danny works the grounds and gives lectures, Lucy the ranch hand, and Buddy Mr. Ernst's son.
This show was made back when Nickelodeon was simple. I can tell now by watching it that it didn't have a huge budget. But they still made it work. This is my own personal opinion, but I think that shows and movies rely to much on special effects and crazy stunts to cover for horrible acting and story telling.

I would recommend this DVD if you remember this show or like classic shows. It's available on আমাজোন.
Oh, and it does have a very catchy theme song as well :)
