The show worked not just because of the chemistry between Michael Maronna and Danny Tamberelli, as the eponymous siblings, but because of the quirky depiction of small-town life in a way you can't find in a lot of kids' TV.
Despite its stated objective to focus on the small and the odd, The Adventures of Pete and Pete mattered in the way Big Things matter: it spoke to kids on a level that they could understand.
The Adventures of Pete & Pete may have weathered time better than any other show of the era, thanks to it being both firmly rooted in a place (the 90s fashion, the soundtrack and theme song by Polaris) yet completely in its own world.
