A subreddit for sharing links and discussion of anything related to the Nickelodeon series, The Adventures of Pete & Pete.
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 (1993–1996) and continued in reruns until around 1999. The N (now TeenNick) 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."

I really wish they made more Pete and Pete Merch!
I tweaked my Halloweenie drawing from a few years ago and think it looks much better now. Happy Halloween, gut buckets.
I haven't downloaded music since Limewire and Napster were a thing. Hope this is okay to ask here, but is this album available for free download anywhere? I was looking on ebay, and, sheeeesh, nostalgia comes at a high price.
I’m bored with most new series. And this year I decided to go down nostalgia lane and watch old Nickelodeon shows.
I first watched Hey Arnold, which I had vivid memories of. But last month after getting sick and staying home for a week I rediscovered The Adventures of Pete and Pete.
I was born in 1992 so my memories of the show were very faint. All I remember is the intro had an X-ray image and there was an episode in which someone was sucked through a restroom hand dryer and that made me an afraid of them as a child lol.
What a surreal and unique show! From the indie theme music (Caitlyn’s Way did a good job with this as well,) to the eccentric characters, to the unusual ways of teaching us life lessons.
I loved the episode with Mr. Tastee and how some people remain mysteries in our lives. And I love “X=Why.” Miss Fingerwood is the best algebra teacher ever!
It was fun rediscovering this show and from the perspective of an adult. I’ve rewatched several episodes ever since.
Miss Fingerwood reminded me of the math teachers I had in middle school: kind, demanding, socially inept, having a profound love of math, and seemingly in another universe
What kind of name is Hub?
I'm guessing it's maybe a one-syllable short form of Hubbard.
So, odds are it may have been a nod to his last name as lots of other short names can sometimes be, seeing as Hubbard is often a last name rather than a first name, so maybe his first name is undisclosed (adjective).
The character I'm talking about is from that episode where a phone rings for 27 years, and the pavement is scorching hot.
and, another thing to know, hub is mostly known as a noun referring to an object, or metaphor for the "center" of something, so maybe he used it as a street name with his ties to the "center" or something.
One thing I did, I went onto YouTube to inspect the tracks to make sure they weren't blocked. I tested most tracks heard in the show, except for some tracks from APM Music, and well, none of them got blocked!
thank god most of them are still streamable in the USA.
One of my favorite tracks from the show is Circuit Diagram by Nice, I was particularly worried that, that song would get blocked by SESAC.
Does anyone know what episode contains the lawn mowing footage used in the show’s opening?
I’m making an homage video and wanted to use clean footage.
Thanks!
That album is so incredibly good and totally underrated. I get it’s not an official band. And with that, Miracle Legion is also such an underrated band, it’s a shame.
But anyway, the soundtrack to Pete and Pete is so fucking amazing. Literally every song on there is perfect. Nostalgia may have a part of it, but if you play it for someone who has never seen or heard of the show or knows who ML/Polaris. I guarantee they will be a fan of that album.
Also, She is Staggering is such an amazing love song! I would put it amongst my favorites along with “Something” by the Beatles.
And “Everywhere” gets me emotional everytime I hear it. I’ve lost two friends that I knew in high school. And I miss them dearly. So when I hear that song, I remember them and all the memories we had. And I know even though they’re not here. They literally are everywhere. ❤️❤️
He’s in more episodes than Artie or Nona. I can’t seem to google it in a way to find out. I’m sure it’s a background actor or something but I can’t figure it out. Anyone know?
I can't throw my money away! This show brings back so many memories (and even imagined ones!).
I have been searching for years for a dvd or some form of media and all i can find is etsy sellers who wont ship to the uk. So I don't feel guilty in asking does anyone have an iso or a place I can purchase these on dvd/blu ray? I've tried downloading the videos from YouTube but when putting onto disc keep getting codes issues and they won't play!
Help! I need Pete! His brother not so much 😜
I’m looking for a stock image of Petunia so that I can print a temporary tattoo. Where can I find a stock Petunia image?
Google images is no help
It's no "Hey Sandy" but still a banger.
What’s your favorite Kreb product?
Rewatching the show right now for the first time as an adult. So many waves of memories from I show I haven’t watched since the 90s.
I just wanted to shout out the actor who played Dad. All the kids are cute and fun still, but I never cared as a kid just how funny the dad is. And his actor just is a mad man and fully commits to being a complete goober.
So shout out to Hardy for helping to create such a tentpole of early 90s Nick.
Hey. There's some videos digging into various episodes of the show, but for a while now I've been wanting to see more long-form written commentary, so I went ahead and wrote a piece about one of my favorite eps. If you'll forgive some self-promotion, I figured this might be of interest to you fine folks. Thanks in advance if you decide to give it a look! https://acircleofpines.substack.com/p/the-adventures-of-pete-and-pete-and?r=1c4buw
