The Adventures of Pete & Pete



Today, I'm gonna talk about a rather interesting show called "The Adventures of Pete & Pete" which aired on Nickelodeon in the early to mid 90's. The show was about two brothers, Pete, and his younger brother Pete, and their adventures through life. They acted the way brothers would act, except sometimes to an extreme. For example, in one episode, the parents go away on a camping trip for a weekend leaving Pete and Pete in charge of the house. Little Pete immediately begins constructing a race that goes around the house 500 times. When Big Pete abandons his brother for a girl, Young Pete sells the house. Oh, and their mom has a plate in her head that usually is included as a plot point in each episode she's in.

Stuff like that was always entertaining and relatable (somewhat) as a kid and the show was also pretty well known for having a really good soundtrack.
