Ok I haven't seen the show in a long time however I distinctly remember that Wellsville was located in the fictional state of Sideburbia nestled somewhere between California and Nevada. Does anyone remember this or is my brain just making it up? Soupersauce 00:02, 31 January 2007 (UTC)Reply
Why is the show The Simpsons mentioned under the setting paragraph? Does it have anything to do with The Adventures of Pete & Pete? It should be removed. --Jeff (talk) 21:25, 22 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
This article may well have been the 175 000th article on Wikipedia.
I'm taking Hunter S. Thompson off the list of guest stars; IMDb is wrong for crediting him. A man named Hunter Thompson does appear in the episode "New Year's Pete," but it's clearly not the same man as Hunter S. Thompson. The show's creator, Will McRobb, even commented in this interview (http://216.127.88.91/podcasts/greenroomradio/GRR-006_Will_McRobb_The_Adventures_Of_Pete__Pete.mp3) that it was just some dude named Hunter Thompson.

It looks like there are some sections that could easily be spun off into their own entries - the episode guide, and perhaps the character list. Any thoughts on this? -Hedgey42 17:40, 22 December 2005 (UTC)Reply
I've wondered if there's a reason behind the use of "Older Pete" and "Younger Pete" instead of "Big Pete" and "Little Pete." The DVD episode descriptions use the "big" and "little" descriptors, as does IMDb, and I recall this being what Nickelodeon used to refer to the characters (though none of the above are ever used on the show itself). - Hedgey42 17:40, 22 December 2005 (UTC)Reply
Does anybody else think that Danny Tamberelli (little Pete) resembles John Belushi's character in Animal House? Often quiet, but really crazy and unpredictable when pushed... Cogibyte 20:03, 14 Dec 2003 (UTC)
This was one of those great Nickolodeon shows with some originality and zest before the network became another part of the giant pool of crap we call pop culture. I believe Nick assimilated with Rocko's Modern Life. 172.197.32.108 18:37, 1 November 2005 (UTC)Reply
There is actually a town called Wellsville in the state of New York. Not that it bears any resemblance to the fictitious Wellsville, but maybe somebody should edit the respective paragraph in the article?
I love this show --66.218.13.185 20:59, 29 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
This article mentions that the mysterious Mr Tastee was played by Toby Huss, the same actor who played Artie.. has anyone ever seen or read anything from the creators about it? I wish to know if they intended for Mister Tastee to indeed be Artie (The Strongest Man in the World) or if he just happened to play the role as well. --Isequals 08:48, 15 January 2006 (UTC)Reply
The article says it's canceled, however the only news I've read elsewhere is that it was taken off of the release schedule without explanation, implying (to me anyway) that there still may be a chance for its release. Is there a good source for Paramount definatively saying it's canceled?
i feel that he's somewhat an important character, yet i don't see him anywhere.
Wayne appeared in Season 3 in the third episode, The Good, The Bad And the Lucky. He was instrumental because he helped Pete find his lucky penny before Pit Stain and his gang.
The sidebar says that there are 38 episodes of The Adventures of Pete and Pete. The regular run of the show had 34 episodes. With the five specials, we're looking at 39. Unless there's a reason one of those episodes is being omitted, I'm changing the sidebar. Alpha5099 18:04, 28 May 2006 (UTC)Reply
While listing the characters in the program, I feel that it would be helpful to include some screenshots from the opening credits. Can do? A link to some clear ones is included.

I changed it from Eisenhower to Van Buren... after watching it again.
I noticed that in the Content section (in the paragraph about the Reservoir Dogs reference), there is a mention of an episode "Tool or Die", while in the article, there are numerous references to an episode "Tool and die". I'm not sure, but one of them is probably incorrect. 80.98.114.198 00:27, 8 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
Could someone please confirm or deny the rumor that the theme song is about the Kent State shootings? Does anyone have access to the lyrics? samwaltz 01:33, 8 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
Image:PeteandPete.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
in the article it says there were 6 Specials. but in the episodes article there were only 5 Specials?
Isn't this a single camera show? Why is it listed as multiple camera? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.184.179.20 (talk) 04:55, 16 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
A lot of this show was filmed in South Orange, NJ. Why the cover up...? :0 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.118.127.55 (talk) 05:06, 29 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
Why is Golden Brooks the only guest star who is not in alphabetical order? I don't know the series well enough to know if Brooks really was a guest star or whether this is a prank. Ileanadu (talk) 00:50, 5 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
Shouldn't there be some explanation as to why both kids are named "Pete"? Is there a reason, or is it just more surrealism? I read in imdb that it was originally supposed to be a boy and a dog both named Pete (like Pirates of the Caribbeans' "We named the monkey Jack), but do the writers ever explain the reason for the names?

The Setting section appears to be almost entirely explicit original research, if the show states Wellsville, then a cite should be able to be found for that. Since it doesn't mention the state it should only be added if an RS cite that discusses it can be found, with an explanation of the context. Otherwise the whole section should be removed.121.73.221.187 (talk) 08:33, 13 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
I posted this over on Talk:List of The Adventures of Pete & Pete episodes but since it is the first talk post there thought it would get seen better here:
Is there a listing of where the specials (1991-1993) are placed when they were edited for season 1 (as mentioned in article and below)? New production codes for the edited versions? Thanks!
