Tv Party: The Adventures Of Pete And Pete

Every generation thinks the kids stuff they grew up with is best ever made – and those of us who grew up with THE ADVENTURES OF PETE AND PETE may actually be right. For those of you who don't remember, this unforgettable show began as a series 60-second shorts in 1989 - those halcyon days of Nickelodeon when grossing-out and gagging-up were in their experimental phase. With the shorts' success came a few specials and then a full-blown three season series, imprinting a generation with its magical and moving mixture of fun, earnestness and the inexplicable — how we remember childhood at its best. With a singular sense of kid-logic magical realism, the show tells the story of two brothers both named Pete living in a town called Wellsville with their father and their mother and the metal plate in their mother’s head, which got its own credit in the opening titles — as did Petunia, the younger Pete’s dancing-girl tattoo. By rendering the ordinary events of childhood and adolescence — staying up late, hating shop class, discovering music, ruing the end of summer — as the epic stuff of legend, the series captures the actual depth and intensity of feeling that comes with being young. Poignant without being sentimental, oddball but never merely weird, the show is made to be funny, sad, strange and beautiful. So get your Kreb Scout buddies together, grab an Orange Lazarus, evade the International Adult Conspiracy, and do whatever it takes as the Beacon presents a collection of our all-time favorite episodes. You don’t wanna miss this show!
