It presented a false narrative of an all-white, idealized suburbia that never existed
but that's how my childhood was.
This is all bullshit. Things are better than they've ever been. You think your childhood was better because you were a kid and you were surrounded by shows like this portraying your childhood as something very different than how it actually was. Memory is highly unreliable and it's a pretty crazy thing how many people seem to misremember what the past was like. Nostalgia is a Hell of a drug. It's honestly good that shows like this are being scoured from the histories because they're very dangerous to people's minds in the same way that photos of anorexic photoshopped models caused massive self-image issues for women. We're a lot better off now, but we're not better than the fantasy you have in your head of how things allegedly were.
Here's your (you) now go away
I want to agree with you but can't. Things are better in some ways like we're safer but we're less happy and more unhealthy than ever. We went from playing outside unsupervised to becoming the humans on the spaceship in WALL-E.
Whatever you say, schizo. I didn’t compare it at all to now. Just saying that the suburbs actually exist whether you want to believe it or not
All I was saying was I grew up in an all white suburb.

>Two parents
>Most kids also have two parents
>Middle-class neighborhoods with little to no crime
>Kids are free to explore in a relatively care-free environment, and have huge imaginations about "goings on" in the town
Yeah, what a hell-scape
This is actually how lots of kids grew up in small town America. I was born in the 80s, and during the summer we would ride our bikes everywhere and would all be home by dinner.
This show very much reflected my childhood town in the 80s/90s. And how the 90s felt as a young person. I also live in NJ, where P&P took place. Did a rewatch a few years ago and it not only holds up but makes you mad they don't make shows like this anymore. This show still fricking rules.
>NJ, where P&P took place
did not know that
>The show was filmed largely in Leonia, New Jersey, with location shots done in a variety of other spots around northern New Jersey, including the Willowbrook Mall in Wayne, New Jersey, and the Wrigley House in Cranford, New Jersey. The exteriors of Pete & Pete's house (as seen in the credit sequence and other shots) were filmed on Vreeland Avenue in Leonia. The football field used for various episodes is that of Bayonne High School in Bayonne, New Jersey.
all up in the NE part of the state just like the sopranos huh. personally 609 farmland here
i lived in a neighborhood like this where all the kids were basically my same age. you could just walk outside and you'd eventually find someone you knew. we just didn't have a middle aged muscle man following us around
lol just lol
maybe the biggest piece of zoomer cope ive ever read here
It was just a proto - Malcolm in the Middle show from the times when things were much simpler.
I dl the whole series from /t/. Nickelodeon wiping any traces of soul from their past to trick anyone into watching the slop they're putting out now.
This entirely seems like what's happening. I know for a long time Michael Bower aka donkey lips was selling bootlegs on eBay of Salute Your Shorts
I watched and loved all those shows from Nick. I was a Nick kid from like 1992 to 1998.
We got cable for the first time in 1993, before that it was over-the-air only, so pretty much just Saturday morning cartoons on ABC. When we got cable, everything changed. Me and my sister became Nickelodeon kids, right around when Nicktoons first started, and we just rode that wave and grew up watching almost nothing but Nick. Those were good times.
Where'd you hear that from?
I remember watching pretty much the entire series on israelitetube a few years ago. They nuked it already?
Music licensing.
Shit fricked any plans for releasing the show.
A few people at Nick who actually cared worked their asses off renegotiating the first two seasons to get them DVD releases but they sold so poorly they weren't allowed to work on the third. Chances of this going to streaming is almost non-existent.
Season 3 is basically only available as VHS rips unfortunately. Supposedly DVDs are just sitting in a warehouse/pit somewhere but I find that hard to believe.
everyone got molested into NDAs at Nickelodeon
No molestation, just fun barefoot pool parties. lol. Everyone loves a barefoot pool party, right? hahaha
I never liked it. I just could not stand to look at their ugly vile ginger visages. Especially that little fat frick.
Hey, cool it with the anti-ginger remarks.
Black person detected. And while Brother to Brother was good, Pete and Pete was leagues above it.
Too much rape.
you can get the dvds for seasons 1 and 2 but season three never got released because they couldn't get music rights or something. you can still find it in some places online though.

Every episode is available on YouTube for free.
This is one of the greatest shows of all time.
Like
>The Wire
>The Sopranos
>The Adventures of Pete & Pete
It's also insane how many film references they crammed into this show. Especially for a "kids" show.
They basically had free reign to do whatever they wanted, and the creators weren't pedophiles so the entire show is excellent absurdism without any graphic sex/drugs/violence.
Yellow Fever might be my favorite episode
>Wendal Hyde singing
>"NOBODY THINK ABOUT DORA! YOU, YOU WERE THINKING ABOUT HER, WEREN'T YOU? YOU MAKE ME SICK!"
>Driver Stu having to do a "police test"
>Stu destroying a scarecrow
>Stu going crazy when hearing "Wheels on the bus"
>Pete joining up with Endless Mike
>Rule #2: No Milking!
>"If you're happy and you know it"
>We will be cruising at a speed of 55 miles an hour, moving swiftly away from the twisted wreckage OF MY SHATTERED LIFE
>...
>Thank you
>This was comically obese in the 90s
Wayne the Pain was the obese kid character on Pete and Pete. Teddy Forsman was just a socially inept nerd
For me it was wunderear Inspector #69
They followed the "Zucker's Rule" for comedic filmmaking.
>When something serious is happening in the foreground, have something ridiculous going on in the background
did you even look for it?
It may not be on netflix or whatever you're trying to justify paying for, but it appears to all be on youtube.
Too much white supremacy and privilege
For me it was
>Little Pete getting grounded for putting a dehydrator next to a vaporiser and making them explode, then digging his way out of his room for the 4th of July, big Pete covering it up by getting into pottery and putting dirt in the dad's coffee
and
>KING O FRAUD
He ran a humidifier and dehumidifier at the same time I thought
HEY SANDY
Pirate that shit, anon.
For me, it was that series of episodes where Big Pete was trying to get a different girl each episode (Including Paris from Gilmore Girls)
Ellen remains best girl though, that episode where she keeps asking Why in maths class is one of the best
The soundtrack by Polaris is genuinely one of the best pop-rock albums of all time.
100%, the series also got me into The Magnetic Fields which was well worth it
I don't remember anything about the show, but I love the intro.
I thought forever this show was filmed in michigan until I looked it up a few years ago

How the FRICK does a kids' show get this much talent?
you forgot Big Pete almost banged one of the chicks from Luscious Jackson at the dance.
God, I wish I'd almost banged one of Luscious Jackson, best I got at a school dance was fingering Molly Banes in the PE cupboard
ARTIE!
THE STRONGEST MAN…….
In the WORLD!
For me, it's Nightcrawlers.
I remember seeing little Pete out of character as himself "Danny" I think is his name on one of those lame gameshows they did and thought he was a fricking butthole.
