The Adventures of Pete & Pete: Season 01 (1993)

Theatrical Release Information  |  See Details About All Versions

After its introduction in one-minute comedy sketch form in 1990, the cheekily absurdist sitcom The Adventures of Pete & Pete was formalized as a weekly half-hour in December of 1993. Eight surreal episodes were churned out during the first season, beginning with "Day of the Dot," guest-starring comedienne Ellen Cleghorne as a bus driver in a lengthy spoof of the avant-garde short subject The Dot. In "Nightcrawlers," Little Pete (Danny Tamberelli) aspires to break the World Non-Sleeping Record. "King of the Road" finds the Wrigley family inadvertently providing a nudie show during their yearly visit to Hoover Dam. Jude Ciccolella appears as Big Pete's (Michael Maronna) psycho shop teacher Mr. Slum in "Join or Die." "Rangeboy" is highlighted by a guest appearance by Frank Gifford, cunningly cast as Frank Gifford. One week later, another sports icon, John McLaughlin, is on hand for "When Petes Collide." Troubles in gym and history class dictate the action in "Don't Tread on Pete." And "Hard Day's Pete" shines the spotlight on Polaris, the rock band that performs the series' theme song -- on the front lawn of Pete and Pete's house. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
