I was basicly bored out of my mind a few days ago and came across Pete & Pete. Brings back so many memories of the show. I dunno if anyone else has heard of it before (I presume you might have if you're a teen and used to watch Nick). But it is great and has great music, Polaris.
The show started out as a couple of shorts seen in-between shows. They got popular enough to be made into a series, and almost into a movie. It's about Pete Wrigley and his little brother Pete (refered to as Lil Pete) and their wacky, everyday adventures. They both take on their problems head on, with the help from their friends. Mainly:
* Ellen (big Pete's best friend)
* Nona (little Pete's friend)
* Monica (little Pete's other friend)
* Mr. Tasty (Ice cream man who never takes off his helmet)
* Artie The Strongest Man In The World (little Pete's personal superhero)
They also have enemies, but I can't be bothered to make another list .
Well that's basicly P&P in a half-shell. American TV at it's finest if you ask me, had some memorable scenes. Like older Pete's growing love for Ellen, Artie's departure from the show and one scene in particular when the Statue of Liberty, shot from a helicopter) and zoomed out to NYC as a whole showing the ill-fated Twin Towers and the Empire State Building in the backround. Okay that might've been stock footage from some other movie, but still a beautiful scene that took my breath away in seconds.
Edit: Almost forgot to ask, has anyone else seen this show? If you haven't you're missing out. Just search for it on Google Video and Veoh. You will NOT regret it.
