Synopsis

The Adventures of Pete & Pete is an American children's television series produced by Wellsville Pictures and broadcast by Nickelodeon. The show featured humorous and surreal elements in its narrative, and many recurring themes centered on two brothers both named Pete Wrigley, and their various interactions with family, friends, and enemies. The show was created by Will McRobb and Chris Viscardi and began as minute-long shorts in 1989 that aired in between regular programs. Owing to the popularity of the shorts, five half-hour specials were made, followed by a regular half-hour series that ran for three seasons and continued in reruns until around 1999. The N aired reruns of the show between 2002–2003. The first two seasons were released on DVD in 2005; the third was planned for 2006 but was indefinitely postponed. Jason Ankeny of Allmusic called the series "the greatest children's show ever," while IGN called it "One of the most well-written kids shows ever."

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
annevejb The Adventures of Pete & Pete: Season 1 [1993] not including Michelle Trachtenberg. I was slowly trying to get a collection of the earliest works of some actors and M T is one. She appears in some episodes of season 2 and 3, but not in any of season 1. This will be her just before Harriet and those immediately after do not show an obvious typecasting the way that her role as Dawn might imply. In Richie and Gadget the blatant aspect was not enough of the tract berg. Real nice girl stuff. Apart from the Penada. For those who look to Nickelodeon Rewind Collection for boy stuff, this seems to be one of those typically rated as 5 by 5. I found the Valentine's Day Massacre episode, death of the school squid, useful as both Elle and Grave y Breath showed me that some of those including Tracht might be that 5 by 5 for me too. Otherwise I needed to rate this collection lower, but some of the others are obviously special. For me this season varied between 1 and 5 if out of 5, but now I rate it all. From the commentaries, Valentine's Day Massacre was likely to be a special, possibly the first made as it does not include The Strongest Man. The five specials as full length Pete Pete that followed on from the 60 second fillers that started the thing going, all a lead in to the eight episode 1993 series and then seasons 2 and 3. End credits say 2005, which is when the collection I have was made: Two shorts and four specials and season one. * Season 2. This two disk set has another special. It also has five shorts, giving glimpses of the main characters when the whole thing was just starting. These shorts also say something about some ideas in the series. More than that, they are fun. Big Pete continues with Elle and little Pete continues with The Strongest Man, but only for a while as what lasts with little Pete is Mona and maybe Nona. The approach to background music is of interest as it is not overdone in the few other series I know. The approach to guest stars in X=WHY stands out as distinctive. Re early Tracht, this is two or three years after Law And Order, 2-5, God Bless The Child, October 1991, but this is a speaking role. Nona is so amazing, while also pointing to the other things I have of hers. A commentary gives a pronunciation of Track Ten Burg, which helps me as Harriet had pointed me to Tract en Berg and EuroTrip had pointed me to Trash Hen Berg. Variety, but I can like Track more. A wiki points to this series as Tracht's earliest credited role, her appearances in All My Children being done parallel to this. Before that it was adverts and one uncredited role, Law And Order. This is essential Track and more optimistic than more modern series I know. It helps re musing on the differences. This is still rough tough, warrior Tracht with a doll as a figurehead strapped to the basket of her war bike, her ready to do battle for Pete. * The season 2 DVD set includes a printed advert for a season 3 collection, but at January 2013 this is still cancelled. Recently I found a downloadable copy of The Pete And Pete Reunion, 2012. This has some cast and crew and Polaris. Most is a discussion of assorted points re the series and Season 3 does get some mention, I found this to be a much more helpful discussion than in their 2011 reunion. Endless Mike Hellstrom, aka Rick Gomez, mentions his approach to watching season 3 with his family, Endless Mike can manage it okay. Surprisingly I went along with it and, consequently, I now have a You Tube copy of most of season 3, all but the last quarter of 3-06, Crisis In The Love Zone, where little Pete gets smitten by a deadly love disease and Nona, at the three quarter mark, appears to be about to give up on finding a cure, maybe tooling up for running away from the series instead. The YT versions are around 10% of DVD quality, not a substitute for the real thing, but still amazing. Season 3. Big Pete mostly ignores Elle, who occasionally notices big Pete in a big way. Little Pete starts with Nona, who then disappears half way through, leaving little Pete with Mona The Kreb Scout. The music continues to be worthwhile. I also checked for the soundtrack CD, Music From The Adventures Of Pete And Pete, and found an Amazon advert for a second hand disk at around UK£140, way above My Price. Check a day later, it was no longer there, likely sold. Except that Amazon also had mp3 downloads at close to My Price. They do not appear to be shackled by digital rights management, either. A nice 254kbps stereo collection. Amazon also had other stuff by Miracle Legion, the real id of this particular Polaris.
Catherine_Grace_Zeh I used to watch this show when I was growing up. When I think about it, I remember it pretty well. If you ask me, it was a pretty good show. Anytime I think about it, I remember the opening sequence and theme song pretty well. In addition to that, everyone was ideally cast. Also, the writing was very strong. The performances were top-grade, too. I hope some network brings it back so I can see every episode. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that I'll always remember this show in my memory forever, even though I'm not sure if I've seen every episode. Now, in conclusion, if some network ever brings it back, I hope that you catch it one day before it goes off the air for good.
Rectangular_businessman I still remember that long time ago ,Nickelodeon had good shows .This was one of them . I liked it a lot , and I think that it was one of the best shows of Nickelodeon . It follows the everyday life of two brothers with the same name ,and that how any of those normal experiences turn into adventure when the brothers get involved in them .The characters were very likable and interesting ,the humor works very well , the stories were entertaining and the opening song was great .I really miss that good shows for all the family . Now Nickelodeon show useless trash as " Catscratch " or "Rocket Power ".Bring "The Adventures of Pete & Pete " back !
Scoopy Unlike many who commented on this show, I didn't grow up watching Pete and Pete. You see, I'm nearly 60 years old.I discovered it by accident, or I should say that my stepdaughter discovered it by accident, then I walked by and got hooked like Bob the bass. I ended being the show's biggest fan. As I re-watch it on DVD, I love it more than ever. Today I got season two and was going to watch one episode to pass the time. That had a prayer. As soon as I saw the episode names, I knew I had to watch them again: The Time Tunnel, Inspector 34, The Phone Call.Those three episodes alone will demonstrate to you that this series is good in ways that no other series has ever touched. It says as much about America as any Ken Burns documentary, it makes me laugh as much as the best episodes of Seinfeld, and it's cooler than anything which ever sprang from the mind of Slushmaster Bob. Its narrative flow is deeply cynical, yet there is a strong undercurrent of warmth and hope, as if it despairs of what people are, without forgetting what they yet might be. It never forgets that we, like the Petes when they time-travel, may yet find a way to do it over, and get it right. Even without Riboflavin.I have been a major league TV addict for 50 years, and if you ask me to name the best show I have ever watched ... well, I don't know if I could name just one ... but this obscure Nickelodeon show would be one that would come to mind - alongside I, Claudius and The Civil War and The Simpsons and all the other greats. It's sheer genius, with more than a touch of poetry.In the words of Inspector 34, it's so much better than underpants.
