Product Description
This contains all 8 episodes from the 1st season of this wildly popular series about a surreal suburban world seen through the eyes of preteens.
Amazon.com
Pete and Pete took an alternative rock approach to the family sitcom. In other words, this wasn't your dad's situation comedy. Is it any wonder so many alternative musicians, like Juliana Hatfield, the B-52's Kate Pierson, R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe, and Blondie's Debbie Harry flocked to the (fictional) town of Wellsville? Nor could independent film actors, like Richard Edson (Stranger Than Paradise), Martin Donovan (Saved!), and Steve Buscemi (Fargo), resist the allure of the appealingly offbeat Wrigley family. Meet the Wrigleys: redheaded teenager Pete (Michael Maronna, Home Alone), redheaded elementary school student Pete (Danny Tamberelli, The Mighty Ducks) and his tattoo Petunia, Dad (Hardy Rawls), Mom (Judy Grafe)--and the metal plate in her head. First season cast members include Big Pete's almost-girlfriend Ellen (Alison Fanelli), Little Pete's pal Natasha (Heather Matarazzo, Welcome to the Dollhouse), bus driver Stu (Damian Young), and Little Pete's personal superhero, Artie (Toby Huss), the strongest man in the world. Buscemi appears as Ellen's dad in "Apocalypse Pete" and would return for another episode in the second season. The first season followed three years of 60-second shorts. It features 12 adventures (eight regular episodes plus four specials). Highlights include "King of the Road," in which the Wrigleys battle for road trip supremacy, "Tool and Die," in which Big Pete learns not to judge a shop teacher by his cover, and "Hard Day's Pete," in which Little Pete forms the Blowholes with Syd Straw and Marshall Crenshaw. Then there's "Don't Tread on Pete," in which Little Pete utters the immortal line, "Is this guy pickin' your scabs the way he's pickin' my scabs?" The Adventures of Pete and Pete ran on Nickelodeon for three well-loved, much-missed seasons. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Charlene Freethy (San Francisco, CA)
An excellent first season in an excellent series. Colorful characters; two brothers with the same name, a mom with a plate in her head, an adverage suburban dad and fun friends like Ellen, Artie and Nona. 1990's classic nickelodeon television; this one never gets old. I recommend this DVD highly to ages 7/8 and older.
Viacom, please release season 3. The last and only season not released yet. There is a market for it!
Great old Nickelodeon show February 28, 2009
Barbara L. Miller
This show is great for first time viewers, but especially for people who remember watching it 15 years ago on Nickelodeon. The Nickelodeon Rewind collection is awesome!

I watched the whole DVD through as soon as I got it. The Adventures of Pete and Pete was one of the best shows ever. Watching the DVDs makes me feel happy and reminds me of childhood wither it was that warped or not.

i was in elementary school when the adventures of pete and pete originally aired. it was something i really liked back then, so imagine how happy i was when i found out that pete and pete were on dvd! this set has all episodes from the first season, plus lots of specials, including my favorite, "how we spent our summer vacation." look for the michael stipe cameo. if you liked this show as a kid, i would definitely recommend it for a nostalgia trip!
