I know I still do, and as I was crawling around the net I found a few things that might interest you.

Its a pretty cool site with a lot of information on the show and a few other shows that led up to YCDTOTV.

Oh yeah, and you know in case you would like to watch ALL the episodes (excluding most of season 1, those are lost forever) go here and enjoy.

BTW if you are or were a fan of this show sign one of the many petitions out there for DVD release, it was so close to coming out, until a corporate change took the Nick Rewind series and put it on the back burner for what looks like a indefinite amount of time.

The S1 one episodes that are missing might not be lost forever, but the master tapes were accidentally destroyed. People may have recorded them, as VCRs did exist. But if they did, either they don't realize it or aren't sharing.

But the first two seasons sucked, anyway.

yeah I will agree there it took a little bit to get the show going, the whole disco and band intermission thing is just weird to watch now. The thing that sucks about at least the first season is that they only aired once, so somewhere in Canada right now there are tapes rotting away in a attic or basement, kinda sad but that's just the completionist in me,

True. For archival purposes I'd like them to be out there, even if I don't really want to watch them.

I was never a fan of the show, and in fact remember disliking it as a kid (I might have been a bit young for it though being only 7 or 8 when it was in its heyday) because it was very Canadian, and for some reason, that bumped me. If you can find a good archive of Hey Dude episodes, then we'll be speaking my language.
