Hey Dude

Hey Dude was a TV show on Nickelodeon. It took place at a dude ranch in Arizona. The owner and his son were from New Jersey, and were Mets fans (evidenced by the son's baseball cap).
Two stories were typically shown. One was about the main guy involved in an egotistical situation while the other surrounded one of the girls trying to solve a problem.

*In one episode, Ted can be seen reading a Wolverine comic. An X-Men comic can be seen in another episode.
*One episode revolves around a detective theme. One character reminisces about how his son would play a criminal mastermind and he would be James Bond.
*The set was located about fifteen and a half miles directly east of Tucson, Arizona, in Saguaro National Park.
*In one episode, Danny hurts his neck from a fall from the ladder and has to be attended to. He is given magazines, one of which has an ad for Schwinn bicycles.
**He is also given a six pack of Coca-Cola.
*Popular internet reviewer Nostalgia Critic reviewed Hey Dude as a part of his "Nickcoms" episode while doing "Nickelodeon Month". His main criticism is the majority of each episode involving conversations, which leads him to view the show as boring despite the awesome intro.
