Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

A new neighbor joins the redheaded brothers for their second season on Nickelodeon. The accident-prone Nona Mecklenberg (Michelle Trachtenberg) makes her first appearance in the premiere ("Grounded for Life"), where she is introduced as "the loneliest girl in Wellsville." By the end of the episode, that's no longer true as she and Little Pete (Danny Tamberelli) have become fast friends. Alas, nobody can take the place of his pet lizard, Gary, who makes his debut--and swan song--in the following adventure ("The Big Quiet'). Mona's dad, James (Iggy Pop, looking sharp in cardigan and khakis), will join the cast just in time for "Halloweenie," in which Pumpkin Eaters terrorize the neighborhood.

As for Big Pete (Michael Maronna), he'll finally ask Ellen (Alison Fanelli) out in "Time Tunnel". Endless Mike (Rick Gomez), in a rare moment of kindness, will lend him his car. It won't really change things, however. Maybe some people are meant to be friends--and others to be enemies. Then there are the Wrigley parents. In the first season, Dad (Hardy Rawls) fought for road trip supremacy. Now it's about having the best lawn and catching Bob, the biggest fish in the lake. Metal plate aside, Mom (Judy Grafe) does what she can to keep the craziness in check.

As before, Big Pete narrates in that delightful deadpan, and many old favorites are back: bus driver Stu (Damian Young), math teacher Miss Fingerwood (Syd Straw), Ellen's dad, Mr. Hickle (Steve Buscemi), and strongman Artie (Toby Huss). Little Pete’s personal superhero will make his final appearance in the two-part "Farewell, My Little Viking." Guest stars include Gordon Gano as substitute teacher Zank ("X=Why?"), Bebe Neuwirth as McGinty the mailcarrier, David Johansen as park ranger Thorsen ("On Golden Pete"), and Chris Elliot as psychic meter man Ray ("Sick Day"). --Kathleen C. Fennessy

5.0 out of 5 stars Lets Get Season 3 going on DVD! August 3, 2008

By J. E.

Format:DVD

All fans of this show do me a favor. Vote for this review. I ask this not for me, but for the hopeful release of Season 3 on DVD. Something I read is if there are alot of reviews written and several receive lots of votes, the show follows on DVD even if only through some sort of medium like Amazon.Com. I read this happened with "Journey to the Center of the Earth", "The Enemy Below", and "Shoot to Kill" movies. Get your friends to vote too. If we arouse enough interest at this review page we may see results-I mean I even saw that the DVD was produced with printed art however it was put on hold. Amazon may notice and inform the studios too. It is starting to work they will create a link on Amazon and start to ask for your e-mail address if it is getting interest. Lets make this happen!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wondrous World of NickNickNickNickNickNickNickNick....Nickelodeon November 9, 2005

By Noah Stevens

Format:DVD

I used to work at this TV station in Gainesville. On Sundays, crawling to my (volunteer) job after endless nights of debauchery, I would sit and insert tapes of the MacNeil Lehrer Report for whoever happened to be up watching the local university channel at 6 through 12 on Sunday morning. I can tell you I was probably the only student in the whole town awake at that time. Case in point: many, many were the times I fell asleep and missed my cues by 15 minutes or more. No one called. No one wrote.

Anyway, I had a lot of time on my hands. I watched Pete and Pete and Rocco's Modern Life. When your children are of age, make them watch these shows. The kind of kids you want don't need to watch reality TV or play with realistic superhero dolls. They need to watch Artie. They need to see what Iggy Pop looks like dressed up. They need to see Michael Stipe hand a kid ice cream. And don't get me started on Deborah Harry and Juliana Hatfield. They need to learn that the point of Barbecue ribs is to get a little messy.

Every so often, you run into a Pete and Pete fan. Cherish those moments. Share your Petunia tats with your most beloved friends. Strike a strongest man in the world pose and be good to your little Vikings. I think it's safe to say the world needs it quite badly.
