This show was a classic variety show (an aussie show) that was axed 10 years ago. Now Channel 9 has commissioned 2 reunion shows and maybe they will comission a new series if things go well.

I loved this show when it was on and so did the rest of my family.

Did any of you watch this when it was on?
Is there another show you want to return?

I think I used to watch this, I don't remember a lot as I didn't understand a lot, but I remember the chicken suit, Red Simon with the gong and varias other things. I think I may give this a watch.

I adored Hey Hey!! It was THE show to watch to catch to see your favourite international music artists etc. play live on TV whenever they came to Aust (particularly when I was a teeny bopper around the 1996-1999 period). Rove came along, and he seems to have filled the void in that regard, but it just doesn't have the classic feel of Hey Hey (Rove tries to grab the younger audience by being hip and modern, whereas Hey Hey was suited to all ages)
