Pete & Pete. On DVD. In my hands.

I've been waiting on Pete & Pete for weeks on end, and the day is mine! It's here!

Holy crap, did I ever love this show as a kid. I didn't see all that many of the episodes, but the memories I have of what I did see are extremely pleasant.

I know P & P had a bunch of hip guest stars and whatnot, but as a kid I just liked it for its surreal tone. A show like this one would never get off the ground today; Nickelodeon's glory days are far behind them.

1993 was really simple. Being thirteen was essentially an unpleasant gig, but it was simple: stay alive at school and try really hard to not look like you're trying really hard to get people to like you. Catching up w/ the Petes on Saturdays (as well as Salute Your Shorts, Hey Dude, Welcome Freshmen, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, etc....) made even the most miserable school experiences tolerable.

Yay 1993 TV programming! Yay Petes! (Hopefully, watching this won't make my Pete memories suck in retrospective...)
