I am not sure if this is a repost, but if there is, merge it please if so.

For these people, who has been aware about this show which has been around in our televisions for 28 years since it was canned in November 1999....

...This wednesday flags the Hey Hey it's Saturday's return for the first time in ten years, that they are doing a reunion special and this will be a biggest night for these fans who loved the show a decade ago.

...Are you one fo the fans?!

Absolutely.....had some real laughs with the show from when it started being aired Saturday mornings then onto evenings.....the only gripe I had/have is Daryl Somers ! grrrrr

YES! Cant forget Dicky Knee...!

Has to one of the best Aussie shows ever. Its going to be interesting, hope thye dont murder it.

Does anyone remember that show that used to be one before or after it, I cant remember the name but he had that pyhsco Denise Richards (I think). It was an adventure show where contestants would go through courses and generally get owned or smashed by obstacles.

Its a Wipe Out could have been it? Actually, I think it was, "its a wipe out, thats the name of the game" was the jingle. Good times..LOL

DBourne · 28-09-2009, 01:30 PM

always loved hey hey..

Amazing that no one has been able to create another variety show as good since.

If its a Japanese gameshow, it might be Takeshi's Castle lol.

LTDHO · 28-09-2009, 01:52 PM

I'm looking forward to it as HHIS was big in it's day. Unsure why it's on Wednesday. If it gets the ratings, it will stay on!

I think the show you're talking about is Its a knockout.

Can't wait for Hey Hey to come back. I'm sick of all the crime and reality shows on TV

Bingo thats the one, what a crack up, crazy 80's.

Yes TV is certainly depressing, great if your a crack pot and need some inspiration for your next murder though.

I think it was called "Its a Knockout" with Jackie McDonald ? and her co host was a cabbage patch type of bloke haha Grant Kenny was a referee !

blueoval · 28-09-2009, 02:15 PM

Plucka was worth watching. Simply hilarious

Dicky Knee was always a laugh too

"It's a Knockout" I loved that show and badly wanted to go on it!! Red, blue green and yellow teams. But I think it was Fiona Mcdonald that hosted (Jackie's sister)

With regard to Hey Hey, some of my best childhood memories are getting Mcdonalds on a Saturday night (when they still used polystyrene containers that you could trun into moneyboxes!), and sitting down as a family to watch Red faces....priceless

Ralliart · 28-09-2009, 02:24 PM

loved this as a kind was so annoyed they canceled it it was best entertainment show they ever had for years.

Windsor220 · 28-09-2009, 02:31 PM

As good as Hey Hey was it probably wont be the same seeing it now.

This is my fear too.

It was on every Saturday night at my place, and later, it was the catalyst to start drinking before going out. Something happened in the mid 90's, and the show went down hill, especially compared to the show that I remember from the 80's. Not having it on a Saturday Night won't help matters, either.

tankclare · 28-09-2009, 02:37 PM

Was one of if not my favourite tv show back when it was on. I even had a plucka duck teddy thing haha. A duck with anger issues is always funny lol. Red faces with red was always a crack up.

Oxa384 · 28-09-2009, 02:38 PM

it was a great show in its time however i think this reunion will end in tears some things are better off left behind imo

Falcon_Crazy · 28-09-2009, 02:47 PM

Chook lotto with frozen chooks...will be keen to see how it goes..Shane Bourne and Murray Fields (i think - old booke big ears) used to the jokes..crack up. Think Ch9 are testing the waters with brining it back

**Peuty** · 28-09-2009, 04:36 PM

Can't wait. Huge fan.

Teflon Turbo · 28-09-2009, 05:02 PM

i'm a fan, i can remember when it was on saturday mornings.

Trek · 28-09-2009, 07:54 PM

They should run with tradition and keep it strictly to Saturday, not Wednesday. I too am fearing it'll be a flop/sorry attempt and a terrible reanimation/replication of the past.

**Peuty** · 28-09-2009, 07:57 PM

I'm not, I reckon they will nail it.

uranium_death · 28-09-2009, 08:04 PM

Dad reckons there's only one show better than Hey Hey It's Saturday, and that's the best of Hey Hey It's Saturday...

Dad, Dale dug a hole. Its filling with water

GUTLES · 28-09-2009, 10:32 PM

I reckon instead of murdering it by trying to bring it back they should replay the originals, same with It's a Knockout - they don't make game shows like that these days.
