Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

quridley The 1990s was a golden age for television. From Twin Peaks to The X-Files to The Larry Sanders, it was a decade where television grew up and broke barriers that film was afraid to touch. It was the culmination not only of the 20th century but the Millennium and there was an air of closure and looming revolution. We were in the dawn of a technological age of information and the dusk of a more spiritual and simpler understanding of our selves. The 90s brought a post-modernist and metaphysical color to the way we see and represent ourselves in media and entertainment. Not all TV programming was this awakened, adventurous and accepting of the future, but the children's network Nickelodeon was a surprising home of many next-level shows that appealed to adults and kids alike.The Adventures of Pete was Nickelodeon's crown jewel and is comparable to the best television shows in history.What P&P offered was a unique worldview and satirical but highly emotional tone that contextualized the transition from childhood to adulthood by revolving around the straining bond between two twin-like brothers who were only separated by their levels of maturity. This central relationship reflected the unconscious drama that was effecting the world (and still is) and united viewers of all ages. The show captured a nostalgia and fear of aging that is universally felt and only grows stronger as we reach death.These serious themes of existentialism, alienation, paranoia, delusions of grandeur and a quest for immortality played out in the lives of suburban youths who found epic spiritual dramas in the most mundane and absurd times and places. Yet viewers can relate to that massive pressure and frustration with being a child, powerless and yet full of potential. The brothers Pete were most often awakening to their place in the universe and making peace with being small and human rather than superheroes or godlike historical figures. The show was a great examination of the frail human ego and all of its pitfalls and triumphs. But it was so much more than a coming-of-age sitcom. It was an almost mythological analogy of the human spirit told from with a childlike innocence tempered by the brilliant temperament of its adult creators.The show lasted 3 short seasons and ended rather anticlimactically before the quality could take a major dip. This only enhances the simplistic poetry of the series as we never get to see the characters age or learn anything of their adult fates. Their universe ends and bleeds into our own. We take these characters, their stories and their lessons with us, which should be the ultimate goal of storytelling but is even more pronounced and delicately rendered in children's storytelling. The overwhelming success of Pete & Pete is proved in the sentimental reverence the show has amassed from an entire generation that tuned in. Its highly unlikely another show will recapture or top this one and so it will live on forever as the new classic that it is.

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 !

usrhlp I have to admit this is one of my all time favourite shows. When it was watch your own weekday on nickelodeon I can guarantee I was the only one who voted for it! I love this show and own the first two seasons on DVD. I am from England but I managed to lay my hands on them! I cannot think of any other show where both of the main characters are brothers with the same name. Every single episode is just a joy to watch and hit upon at least one point in everyone's life. The range boy for example, his parents are forcing him to do the job that gets the doer ridiculed for years to come. How does Pete overcome this problem? He makes himself wear a bear costume and inadvertently becomes a local hero!I hope paramount get off their arses and get season 3 out of the door ASAP! There are many fans busting to buy this!
