I have read that Daryl, Dickie Knee and Plucka Duck will be back.

So what?

Maybe they should go to a Thursday night timeslot and host a footy show?

ANYTHING would have to be better than another fotty show of any description...

Fair enough to put football on TV, but it's ridiculous when some variant of the game or commentary about it is on every channel at the same time. And if you look at the ratings, the majority of Australians aren't watching any of them.

I pretty much stopped watching TV when all the cheap "reality" and real estate spruiking took over a few years ago. If I want to hear blatant ramping of investments (which I don't...) then there are plenty of places to get that other than prime time TV. And if I want reality then I'll go out the front door rather than sit in the lounge room.

Bring back Hey Hey? Well it's the most obvious thing to do given it's about the only thing Channel 9 has that (1) would likely attract a decent audience (2) isn't already being run by another network and (3) could actually be produced fairly quickly and at reasonable cost.
 
Somethings are best left behind, Hey, Hey being one of them. Always best to go out on a high.
 
That they are going to the trouble of doing two shows does suggest that a permanent revival is at least being considered.

Ratings will determine its fate as they do with everything else on TV. I'd be surprised if the first one isn't an outright ratings winner purely due to the nostalgia and curiosity factor. What happens with the second show will be more telling however - people won't watch if they didn't like what they saw on the first one.
 
Daryl should be there if he can be bothered, he made the show in the first place , same with Dancing with the Stars, he's in the same league as Graham Kennedy and Bert Newton though he wouldnt accept that compliment as true as it is.

Although it finished 10 years ago, the format could easily be adapted to today.

I say bring back Hey Hey!

Yeah, so I heard!

It was the best entertainment on of a weekend for my money.

I remember so vividly why nine axed the show... it was costing to much to produce. Huh, those numb nuts seemed to think they could increase profitablity by cutting costs... that produced their highest rating shows.

Anyway, if it can be revamped with a fraction of the humour and fun of the earlier show it should be a hit.

I have the same impression.
 
I'm not a big Daryl fan but he can come back with the show as long as he doesn't sing or play those @$#%@#drums

I was a mate of his in our younger days we played in seperate bands , both drummers, he's got a great voice, and personality by the truckload.
 
Says something about current TV programmers when they resort to dragging some mediocre show back from the dead instead of inventing something new. Weekend TV is appalling.

Hey Hey was a great show, hopefully it will replace some crappy offering put in there by the dim wits who made the change in the first place.
 
People want to see it, so why not? Not that I'd ever be home at the time it's on anyway. It has to be better than another reality TV or home makeover show.
