One of the best Kids Shows of All Time The adventures of Pete & Pete 

Do you remember this show?

I loved Pete and Pete on Nickelodeon, as a 90s kid. :)

This show reminds me of what it was like to grow up in the early to mid 90s before computers and the web. More so during the summer and what adventures you and your friends could get into. Each day was something new. The Internet has ruined everything.

I loved this show. Barely made a lick of sense at times but that just made it all the more charming. As someone who grew up in Ireland in the mid 90s shows like Pete and Pete, Around the Twist and Eerie Indiana made it such a fun time to be a kid.

Every chance I've gotten to re-watch the show, it just keeps getting better. I even got a Petunia tattoo of my own, or as I tell people, it's a tattoo of a tattoo.

I loved this show. I still watch the occasional rerun.

Yes! While watching your Parker Lewis video, I kept thinking about how Pete and Pete was just as surreal and helped shaped the weirdo I am today.

I love this show so much when I was a little kid and the theme song was so great. There couldn’t be enough episodes. It was my favorite.

One of the things not discussed in the video is how great the soundtrack was and the bands used throughout the series. Even the town Wellsville is named after a song by The Embarrassment.

Loved Pete & Pete. Would pay good money for a complete blu-ray of it

Most 90s theme song EVER! I LOVED this show... I also remember shows like "Hey, Dude!" and "Wild n Crazy Kids"

By far my favorite show as a child. I think it shaped my weird humor. I found the first two seasons on dvd at a little record shop in 2006. I paid $25 for both! I look all the time for season 3! I can’t wait for it to be released. 😔

It's one my all time favorites

A 10 year old having a tattoo of a dancing lady is wild 😂 Also, Papercut was an incredibly written character and Artie the Strongest Man In The World is also the same guy that did a bunch of voices on King of the Hill 🔥

I legitimately listen to "Hey Sandy" at least once or twice a week.

Purely genius show. Makes me think of summer in the 90s

OH MY GOSH!!! I haven't even watched the video yet, but I've been saying this to EVERYONE I KNOW. I really do believe Pete & Pete is one of, if not THE greatest kids show of all time.

"Nickelodeon was my childhood." Oh, hell yeah mine too!

Born in 1982 but somehow this show slipped under the radar for me. I'm from Canada though and perhaps the channels we had didn't air it. Regardless I'm going to find it and give it a watch.

I honestly still love this show!!!!

Wow. I don't remember the specials prior to show but loved the Pete and Pete show.

Oh my god I totally forgot about this show. I was ten when it came out and my older brother and I loved it. Thank you!

This was the best Kids Show ever. It was more for older kids early teens which was what I was when it was on. The one where they find the car buried at the beach was great! I remember the Dad also had a competition with another dad on the trip to see how high they could stack suitcases on top of their cars 🤣 Another good one was when Young Pete protested having a bed time by getting a bunch of his friends to try and stay awake for for like 12 days or something. One by one they keep falling asleep and dropping out but Pete does it and his mom is actually proud of him for achieving his goal and agrees to push back his bedtime by 30 mins 😂 In a halloween episode the bullies all carved out pumpkins from the bottom and wear them on their heads and terrorize the town. Me and my Cousin copied that and wore pumpkins on our heads for Trick or Treat. We didn’t get away with much terror in our quiet neighborhood though

loved pete and pete i was born in 1982 so obviously recall it with fondness, really wish they'd add it to a streaming network like paramount plus which already has lots of nickelodean back catalog shows

That storyline about the dad finding the Cutlass buried at the beach with a metal detector and then driving it home is straight up genius.

I remember this show, I love it as a kid

One of my favorites. So underrated.

that last part part of the show you showed about little pete looking for his song. I think we all went through that back in the day.

Great video man!!!! I was 11 when this hit and I had every episode on VHS, watched em over and over!! Can’t wait to watch with my kids, such an absolute BANGER of a show!!

I loved this show even though I did not watch it until later years and as an adult. I lived in NYC when it was being shot in NJ and had a friend who was an artist who actually worked on the sets. I had still never seen the show when I was in contact with the friend but I would have asked him a bunch about it had I known. Fun absurdity, great characters, good acting, and great music. Introduced me to some bands I liked.

Looking back, Pete and Pete was my introduction to absurdism.

One of my all time favorite shows. I regret missing out on the cast reunions but I did run into ‘Teddy’ in line for a show in the early 2000’s and he was mad cool to talk to! I’m glad Toby Huss is having a comeback as he’s an incredible dramatic actor.

Still love it today

I distinctly remember, at some point around age 12, I noticed I was starting to identify more and more with Big Pete. I always wondered how many other kids had that thought Yes. It's the best kids' show of all time. I love it now even more than I did at the time because I understand it on a deeper level now. I know what the references mean, who the cameos are, behind the scenes info, etc. My dad actually loved it too. It was the only kids' show he would watch

A bonafide classic.Got me into the brilliance of the works of Sephen Merritt.❤I want this to come out on Blu Ray; KaBlam too. The 90's sure were lovely.

I still stack my bones because this show.

Thank you so much for making this!

Every new year's eve I go to my friend's family's house and we have a tradition of us all choosing the first episode of a tv show. Just this new year's I chose the first episode of Pete and Pete (King of the Road).

I remember the shorts the most, particularly Artie fighting the ocean, and Big Pete failing to notice his girlfriend hitting on him "Did you know a baboon heart can pump enough blood to fill a swimming pool?"

"Artie" is still one of my favorite superheroes🦸🤣

This was epic back in the day. Artie was a boss. Still rock the theme song.

the 90s were so weird and fun, Pete and Pete directly influenced my kinda off sense of humor I realize now

As soon as you mentioned the date I understood why I didn't know what this was. I was 20 in November of 93'

Parker Lewis Can't Lose and this in back to back videos?! Dude, amazing choices

So good. Thank you

1. Space Geek was notable because it heavily implied that the young man was indeed from another planet, if not outright saying so. 2. I am inclined to believe that this show bore influence on another weird but smartly written kid’s show, Malcom in the Middle. 3. I hope you make commentary on another weird but interesting kids’ show, the adventures of Alex Mack. That’s where the ever-beautiful Jessica Alba got her television debut.

Man- this brings me back. I didn't have cable networks in my house hold until much later during this show's run. By that time. The older Pete was either pushed to the far background. Or just disappeared entirely So when I viewed the show. It was more like- The Adventures Of Pete- Annnnd.................................Pete,it's just Pete.

Brother you know everyone watching this sung along to HON DE LAUD UP HIVEL UP NICK NICK!!!!love it, my favorite show was Salute Your Shorts

Another one, before my time, but did catch some in reruns. It was a weird show, and that's an understatement, but still liked the show. Didn't realize how it started with shorts. Thank you for this, did enjoy it.

😂I just imagine someone lost a car on the sandy beach during a surprise freak windstorm. They just gave up searching for it and walked home.

Omfg Pete & Pete

I loved this show😊

Hello! I’ve been a subscriber for a while now and really like your channel. Meant to post this response during the Parker Lewis video (which was also great) but yes, I do want to see more individual show perspective to your channel such as this video and Parker Lewis. However, I do hope you keep giving us an evaluation of the failed shows of each year, that’s how I became such a big fan of the channel, there were some shows I remember and some I discovered first time. Keep up the great work and yes, I loved Pete & Pete. I remember the shorts when they first started, the specials, and the TV series. I can’t say I’m surprised Nick asked it to be more “MainStream.” Glad it didn’t happen, the show was great for what it was and carved its own identity. If the show was made in the 2000s or even late 1990s it probably would feel like a duplicate of everything else Nick airs

Every Halloween i debate carving a Halloweenie pumpkin

OHHH man! From 0:01 to the last minute, I was on the corner of Nick Blvd. and Nostalgia Rd., watching Pete and Pete on the old CRT TV's in the window of an antique store! This was one of my absolute favorites growing up (during this time frame), along side of ALL the early Nicktoons, Hey Dude, Salute Your Shorts, W-W-W-Wild and Crazy Kids, Family DD, Nick Arcade, and the like!! I would've been around Danny's age, I had such a crush on Ellen, and Artie is STILL my most favorite superhero (move over Iron Man, lol). I grew up with a loving family (in their own way) but I had always wished that Pete and Pete's parents were mine...they were that quirky but fun and loving family that you could fall in love with. Older Pete was very much like one of my older brothers, and the show all around just sat right with me during that time... Ohhh man...I have quite a few typical adult issues in life, but when I look back at things like this, ti lets me know that in the midst of all these issues, I can still smile, laugh, even cry a good cry, remembering all the good times I had back then! I hope you will cover more of these shows (There are SOOOO many of them!). 📢 🎶🎶 Ni-Ni-Nick Nick, Ni-Nick Nick Nick...NICK-EL-O-DEON!! 🎶🎶

I remember watching the reruns when I was very young, I thought the show was quirky and fun. Nick definitely needs to release the season 3 DVDs.

I didn’t like it as a kid. Watched it 20 years later and realized how brilliant it is.

When i remember this show Like once or Twice a Year i always remember that Episode where that Ultra correct Dude ate the Chicken Wings wrong. not eating them with his hands. and then he had a Meltdown i believe. I mainly watched for Little Pete even though i was Older Pete s age at the Time.

I still want to live in wellsville

One of the episodes I will always remember was when lil Pete is at home sick and gets a piece of cereal stuck in his nose lol

there is another bizzare show similar to this , Eerie , Indiana

Amazing show. Think I have a season or two on DVD.

I remember when "the 90s are all that" block started, and modern Nick finally realized people really liked this old stuff, not just endless spengberb reruns... and they launched this whole plan to revitalize the network, make new stuff, get the old creators back, and they rightly put will mcrobb and chris viscardi at the helm and then just quietly canceled it later after a couple movies came out and nobody watched them because they didn't promote them. and one was an atrocity. but at least McRobb got to write the new Harriet the Spy series, and it kicked absolute ass.

You should see our submarines with Polaris

Totally Remember As Well As Alex Mac

nobody ever mentions JK Simmons as 'dan the barber' in the list of cameos

Pete and Pete could've been a prime time show on a major network. It would've fit in perfect on ABC.

I always thought little Pete's big shirts were something his mom made him wear after he got a tattoo.

Great show the telephone ringing 😎

Nona and ellen were bae And I can't forget Artie The strongest man......In the WORLD!!💪💪 My favorite episode was night crawlers RIP "MOM" May you and the plate in your head. Finally find the perfect place to go number one!!

I want to get a Petunia tattoo.

I loved how the show, represented the characters and that it's ok to have habits or to be different. And everything without wokeness! No one complained about to less black people or "gender roles" or sexuality. 90' were the last good decade!

TAoP&P, for my money, will always be a tie with Salute Your Shorts as the absolute best thing Classic Nick ever released. They both had that one thing that, outside Nicktoons, Nick seemed to have a problem doing: being genuinely funny.

How did you not mention Bebe Neuwirth or the origin of the song "Hey Sandy" by Polaris. Or even the fact that Polaris was a made-up band for the show. You missed so much about this show.

I think I'd be a LITTLE worried about driving away a car I "found on the beach"... SOMEONE buried that for a reason ROFL.... I've seen enough cop shows that it could be a very bad thing. But it was still funny, from the sheer absurdity.

It was the Malcom in the middle of the 90s

I remember liking it but not any episodes lol if that makes sense

I forgot about the fuckin' tattoo.

Was that Vern Shillinger giving big Pete a hair cut?

Hey review i wasn't a big fan of this show it was part of my childhood . I hope u do a segment of more nick and disney channel shows. ❤ #DisneyDiva ❤

As a kid I thought this was a weird show seeing clips of the show as an adult were the directors and writers taking shrooms either way I remember watching this and laughing my ass off as a kid

Iggy Pop yeah I know for certain now that they were high making a kids show man the 90's were funny

They never explained why both were named Pete...

Worry not for I am Artie, the strongest man .........................................................................in the world

50/50 this is a total lie but I swear I remember a cereal box giveaway (possibly Honeycombs lol) with a voucher-type thing you could mail-in for a cd soundtrack of the show if you paid S+H. The band's name was Polaris.

Kids dont hang outside anymore

This show taught me to be Blunt just get straight to the point with people

Artie is still the strongest man in the world.

the creator says that artie was real in-universe

Open face!

*are you a professional voice over actor* You should look into it

Wasn't inspector 34 supposed to be perfect?

The Adventures of Pete and Pete was never my favorite show, I did watch it but it wasn't at the top of my list of the shows Nick did show.

I remember liking this show, but I was creeped out by the full grown man, Artie befriending little Pete. They should've made Artie an imaginary friend, he would've been less creepy.

Artie, the strongest man.... in the worlllld

I call my dog Petunia because of this show.
