If you compare "The Adventures of Pete and Pete" to other kids shows playing at the time, as well as now, nothing compares. Several of the competing shows at the time were "Clarissa Explains It All," "Hey Dude Ranch," and "Camp Idonwanna." Each of these shows had built sets and a never-changing cast. The scenes rarely or never deviated from their sets, and new actors were rarely introduced into the shows. Pete and Pete, on the other hand, filmed all over the place. Several different cities and neighborhoods, different houses, backyards, highways, the great outdoors, and more were used as sets. Top notch guest actors also appeared on the show over the seasons frequently as well. "The Adventures of Pete and Pete" is the most memorable kids show to date, and you should definitely check out the DVD box sets.

Hey! Arnold is one of those shows that really makes a kid question his own rebelliousness and compare it to that of Arnold and his adventures. The characters are lovable and remarkable, and the fourth-grade "Arnold" is every 90's baby idol. He was clear-headed, smart, and the girls loved him. The stories are fun and original, the art direction is great, and the voice acting is awesome, if not sometimes hilarious. Growing up with this show on my TV early mornings and late afternoons, along with "The adventures of Pete and Pete," I couldn't have asked for anything better. I can't wait for a collection of this to come out on DVD.
