Is this the best kid show of all time(This is excluding cartoons, so stuff like Spongebob and EEnE is excluded)
Brandon, you're 39 years old. Why are you still thinking of kids' shows?
>>224009092I'm 40 and I have rewatched this show about once a month for the last 20 years. It's a comfort show to me.
I don't get why they never finished releasing it on DVD.
>>224009092Art transcends age.>>224009419Music rights?
M-Michelle...
Hey Sandy by Polaris is a 10/10 song. I listened to their other songs, hoping they'd also be good. They're not. Their other music is actually pretty awful.
>>224010831Many such cases. Local h and Harvey danger are other 90s 1 hit wonders.
>>224009046>Halloweeniehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1on_iQlZTa8Damn straight.
>>224010831Waiting for October is fucking kino pleb
>>224009046Probably in terms of capturing that childhood magic. Something thats gone now with tablets being given to toddlers. Let alone insane shit like EPI>>224010897>Harvey dangerOkay ill listen to flagpole again
>>224009092Legitimately good kid's shows are entertaining no matter your age. I'll watch Dexter's Lab every now and then and it's still a fucking hilarious show.
>>224009046Absolutely yes. Pete & Pete is a one of a kind Gen X masterpiece.
>>224010831Shit tastehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ACoVJ_gKqchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O14Hi4dreA4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxmZbmrj1wIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jefL0xjwn88
>>224010968Yup! Tried the other songs on the album and it was just not hitting. Talented but no pizzaz like flagpole sitta.
>>224009046I got reminded of this show watching old Christmas specials last year, downloaded it and watched most of it. Really good show, can't believe it slipped my mind for over 20 years.
I wanna go back ;_;https://youtu.be/-eA5XrcTFsc?si=YBs4_4ww3US3Sp1F
>>224009046Yes it is
>>224010831I have one of these with the rest of my cassette-only collection (mostly indie/local band stuff).
>>224010831it’s that sick reverb
>>224010897this is wrong merrymakers is solid front to pack
>>224009046>single camera setup, shot on film >shot on location in the suburbs of New Jersey >actors who looked like real kids and not California models >incredible 90s indie/alt-rock soundtrack >all those cool cameos and guest stars Yep, it’s certified kino.
It’s boring and only libtroons like it
>>224009046>>224010831>>224011769What a different (and still white) time
For me, it’s Bebe Neuwirth as Mail Lady McGintee
>>224011769is that Flea?
>>224012059REM’s Michael Stipe
>so you say goodnight>but you meant goodbye
It was sincerewhich most things ain't anymore
>>224011620i gt that through the mail and i do not regret it at al.
>>224009046I sometimes think about giving it another try. But I used to hate all of this era of live action shows for kids cause it took away airtime from cartoons.
>>224010755>>224009419The music rights for a single song used in a single episode would have cost more than the original budget of the whole series, adjusted for inflation.
>>224009046What do you even call this wistful coming of age genre that clearly doesn't exist anymore?
>>224009046Surprised at the amount of affirmative comments. No it's not the best kid show of all time. The writing was way too weak and inconsistent, sometimes spoken lines would immediately contradict what just happened on screen. The show is cute but there are just a ton of better 80s and 90s sitcoms. Anyone saying yes is just being nostalgic for the 90s.
>>224015078>there are just a ton of better 80s and 90s sitcoms. Name a ton.
>>224011808You’re spiritually brown
>>224015119I'll try to keep it to things that were for kids or teens>Wishbone >Kenan and Kel>Full House>Blossom>Boy Meets World>Clarissa Explains it all>Sister Sister>Saved by the Bell>MoeshaThere were so many good TV shows during the 90s that's only the tip of the iceberg.Also you all would have cried about Pete and Pete being woke if it was made today.
>>224015229
>>224015229Glad you confirmed your shit taste.
>>224015229Your list reminded me of Ghost Writer. Which I hated cause it wasn't about Ghost Rider.
>>224015281>widely celebrated and famous tv shows>shit tastesyou could have just not replied instead of being retarded
>>224015310Ghost writer is terrible, like really bad, it should not have been a tv show. But it did have a few good moments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLlj_GeKniA
>>224015351I mean shit I haven't read Neuromancer either I would've looked like an idiot too.
>>224009046cute boys
>>224015385>I haven't read Neuromanceryou're not missing much
>>224011907All that aired less than a year later and had black kids, sorry you had to endure that snowflake.
>>224015314You think Keenan and Kel is a better kids show than the adventures of Pete and Pete. The only one I’d say is better than Pete & Pete is Boy Meets World. Full House and Saved by the Bell are generic pleb slop. Sister Sister is a shittier version of Smart Guy. >widely celebrated and famousThat’s how you measure if something is good? So it’s not your taste, but based on the masses? Then I guess Moesha and Blossom are considerably worse than Pete & Pete given their imdb ratings.
>>224015475Kenan & Kel was just a comedy show, that's all they did and they did it great. Pete & Pete is a coming of age show with comedy. Different things.
>>224015541Ok. The OP was regarding “the best kids show of all time.” Then anon who disagreed said >The show is cute but there are just a ton of better 80s and 90s sitcoms.When asked to name a ton, upnigger anon listed Kenan and Kel as one of them, failing to follow xis own parameters.
>>224015475Sorry anonLike I said Pete and Pete had issues with consistency, sometimes story beats would be abandoned mid show, and the comedy didn't always land. A lot of episodes had really weak conclusions. Ellen and Big Pete's relationship could have been so much better. And the show would have been better if they had taken out anything to do with Artie, their imaginary superhero, and replaced it with Pete and Pete trying to navigate bullies or dating.
>>224015587this anon is just butthurt because someone liked a show with black actors a bit more than a show with white actors
>>224015587I see, but I think its silly to compare shows with completely different goals.
>>224015624artie was important and good, he was taken out and that was more important
>>224010831Fuck you, Polaris rules. Summerbaby is a jam and a half.
>>224015229None of what you listed are better than Pete and Pete. In fact, most of them are complete shit.>WishboneMaybe if you were 7. This show is not better than Pete & Pete.>Kenan and KelSucks. Also, niggers.>Full HouseAre you kidding me? This cheesy horseshit? Kill yourself.>BlossomWhen did you tell your dad you're a fag? Next.>Boy Meets WorldSucks. Lame kike horseshit.>Clarissa Explains it allOK. I'd call this a sister show to Pete & Pete.>Sister SisterGood, but it's not Pete & Pete. Also, three-camera sitcom so bleh.>Saved by the BellGood for how bad it is, not the same as actually being good.>MoeshaAgain: niggers. And this show sucked. Pass. You have terrible fucking taste, anon.
>>224015229For me its Eerie Indiana
>>224015624>Ellen and Big Pete's relationshipI thought they did a good job with this. Captured the awkward half-friends half-relationship situation between boys and girls at that age. Sometimes their romantic aspect was highlighted, other times they were just friends. Surprisingly accurate for how guys and girls that age manage their newfound attraction to each other.
>>224016298not him but they're mostly pretty good but no pete and pete.
>>224015624>it would’ve been better if it were more formulaic and genericNo. And Artie was a great character that added to the show.
>>224016316This show holds up surprisingly well. I just rewatched it and sure some stuff is dated but the premise is solid
>>224016316>>224016374It's surprisingly funny>Simon Holmes: What's a Liberal?>Edgar Teller: [suddenly uncomfortable] I'll explain it to you when you're older.>Marilyn Teller: Well, I don't care if he's a Liberal or an axe murderer, I want you two boys to stay clear of him, understood?

>>224016558Hey Vern, It's Ernest
>>224016316I liked Eerie too but haven't watched it since I was a kid so I'll put it on my "to watch" list>>224016323It always felt inconclusive, too off and on without explanation, too contradictory to what the audience was just shown or told. The episode where they go on a bad date they decided that they're better off as friends and then they have them practically make out right afterwards, makes no sense.
>>224016316kino
>>224016316I recently just found out they made a followup series, Eerie, India: The Other Dimension.
>>224012151all the characters felt believable in a way i can't really describe
>>224016683>It always felt inconclusive, too off and on without explanationLike life.
>>224014520you call it creator driven, something where the people making it had a vision and TV execs didnt interfere and water it down to make it more palatable and marketable
>>224009092it's kino and has aged surprisingly well
