Hey Dad!

Hey Dad! was a well-known Australian sitcom developed and produced by Gary Reilly and John Flanagan which was broadcast for the first time from 1987 to 1994 on the Seven Network. There were 291 episodes recorded. ==Story Line[ Edit] == Architect Martin Kelly feeds his children Simon, Debbie and Jenny only. his wife Margaret was three years prior to the beginning of the series died.

Martin's architectural firm is conducted from the family home in Chatswood, a suburb of Sydney. The niece of his wife, Betty Wilson, a benign but disorganized and forgetful woman from New South Wales Walgett in the plattelandplaatsje works at him as his Secretary.

In a lot of episodes is Martin portrayed as the patriarch of the family, who have little in discussion with his children. He must very often listen to the extended excuses of Betty as they once again too late and is constantly frustrated by its low productivity at work. Son Simon's best friend is Gerald "Nudge" Noritas, a neighbor who constantly serves food he can find himself in the kitchen of the family Kelly.

In the first episodes is how the characters struggling with the absence of Margaret in their lives, a major theme. Martin also breaks the fourth wall several times to be as sarcastic one-liners to deliver to the camera, but that technique is not maintained after the first 12 episodes. ==Leading Roles[ Edit] ==
