DVD Review
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.

A great set but........... - Rating: 5/5
Nickelodeon SUCKS! How dare they only give us seasons 1 and 2 only. Season 3 was due out March 2006 and got canceled. That is a real d--- faced move. Nick, you suck. Give us the rest of the series. I'm sofa king mad at Nick.
one strange but funny show - Rating: 5/5
My husband and I use to watch this with our kids, when they were growing up. My husband really loved the show, as it has a very strange side to it. I have bought season one and season two for him and the kids to watch together. Though the "kids" are young adults, they still humor the old man and watch.
pete & pete rules - Rating: 5/5
all i have to say is that if you love pete & pete, buy it. just buy it.
Not quite what I expected - Rating: 3/5
As someone said before it will have been good if this dvd had some dubbed language and subtitles. I am from Latin America and as a kid I watched the episodes in Spanish and I wanted to experience that again,that is a big mistake of nickelodeon, also the quality of the image is poor. Definitely not what I expected I hope they will release another version with at least spanish subtitles.
Old School - Rating: 5/5
Great DVD- got it for my brother for Christmas and he loved it. All of his favorite episodes from when he was a kid were on the second season.
