Why Adventures of Pete and Pete might be annoying:

    The show is about two brothers with the same name.
    Nickelodeon and the producers failed to release the series on DVD, leading to the surfacing of bootleg sets for sale on the internet.
    It was dropped from Noggin because of 'mounting backlash.'
    Little Pete would shout out insults such as 'fungus lick.'
    The horrible movie 'Snow Day' was intended to be a Pete and Pete movie, but the series was canceled and the script was changed.
    It was canceled for unknown reasons, but most believe it was due to the cast aging.

Why Adventures of Pete and Pete might not be annoying:

    It had many cameos from cult figures such as Hunter S. Thompson, Steve Buscemi, Iggy Pop, Michael Stipe, Adam West and Deborah Harry.
    It began as a series of 1 minute shorts and evolved into a 30 minute show.
    The theme 'Hey Sandy' is now considered a classic tv theme.
    It was surreal and many think the producers were influenced by the likes of David Lynch in their portrayal of small town America.
    In the episode 'Sick Day,' Little Pete drops a snow globe, an obvious reference to Citizen Kane.
    The mom had a metal plate in her head that could pick up radio stations.
    It entertained adults as well as children.
