It centered on the humorous and surreal adventures of two brothers both named Pete Wrigley, along with an eccentric cast of family, friends, and enemies. The Adventures of Pete & Pete began on Nickelodeon in 1989, as minute - long shorts that aired as interstitials. Owing to the popularity of the shorts, five half - hour specials were made, followed by a regular half - hour series that ran for three seasons from 1993 to 1996. Reruns of the shorts and the shows now run on TeenNick as part of their block NickSplat on October 5, 2015. Jason Ankeny of AllMusic called the series `` the greatest children 's show ever '', while IGN called it `` one of the most well - written kids shows ever ''. The first two seasons were released on DVD in 2005 ; the third was planned for 2006 but was indefinitely postponed.

An allusion to its location comes during `` When Petes Collide '', when the Petes ' father runs four hours to the Canadian border to get rid of his bowling ball, Rolling Thunder. Portions of Wellsville were fictionalized for the purposes of the show ; Glurt County, mentioned in `` Yellow Fever '' and `` The Good, the Bad and the Lucky '', does not exist in any state ( the real Wellsville is located in Allegany County, New York ). License plates in the show refer to Wellsville being located in the `` Sideburn State ''. The show was filmed largely in South Orange, New Jersey, with location shots done in a variety of other spots around northern New Jersey, including the Willowbrook Mall in Wayne, New Jersey. The exteriors of Pete & Pete 's house ( as seen in the credit sequence and other shots ) were filmed on Melrose Place in South Orange, New Jersey. The football field used for various episodes is that of Bayonne High School in Bayonne, New Jersey. The fictional Wellsville High School 's mascot is a squid.

Big Pete Wrigley ( Michael Maronna ) The show 's primary narrator, Big Pete often acts as a voice of reason in contrast to the strange occurrences and people around him. Typical sibling rivalry aside, he and his brother are best friends. He plays trombone in the school marching band. Big Pete 's enemy are Endless Mike Hellstrom and Open Face. He has been known to share enemies with Little Pete in the forms of `` Hat Head '' and Lifeguard Mike `` Urinator '' Uplinger. Little Pete Wrigley ( Danny Tamberelli ) Four years younger than his brother, Little Pete is often engaged in struggles against adults and other authority figures. He is also known to make irrational decisions in response to problems, like selling the house because his brother hung out with a girl instead of him, without taking responsibility for it ( the only exception was back in ' Grounded for Life ' ). Little Pete has made enemies : mainly Papercut ( whom he defied by throwing scissors, instead of rock ), Pit Stain ( for insulting his glandular disorder ) and Mr. Schwinger ( the principal of his school ). He has shared enemies with his brother in the forms of `` Hat Head '' and Lifeguard Mike Uplinger ( aka the Urinator ). `` Petunia '' A tattoo on Little Pete 's forearm depicting a woman in a red dress. It is frequently made to `` dance '' and gets its own credit in the show 's opening sequence ; the origins of that tattoo were originally given in a long forgotten Pete & Pete short, wherein Little Pete gets the tattoo as a gift for his mom on Mother 's Day, for which he is initially punished, but ultimately is forgiven. Another tattoo 's origin, one of a sailing ship on Little Pete 's back, is unclear. Joyce Wrigley ( Judy Grafe ) The Petes ' mother, usually just called `` Mom '', has a metal plate in her head from an accident she had as a kid. She tends to be the more stern parent ( like objecting to her husband and younger son 's prank war in ' Apocalypse Pete ' or threatening to attract lightning if her husband did not stop her kids from fighting in ' When Petes Collide ' ). But she cares for her boys and she 's willing to compromise ( like bumping up her younger son 's bedtime in ' The Nightcrawlers ' ). Mom 's Plate The plate in Mom 's head, like Petunia, gets its own opening credit. It can pick up radio stations -- and, in the case of little Pete 's `` WART Radio '', it can also broadcast them. Don Wrigley ( Hardy Rawls ) Usually known as `` Dad '', Don is the Petes ' father. He and Joyce met when the metal detector he was using on a beach led him to the metal plate in her head ( ' What We Did On Our Summer Vacation ' ). He is an extremely competitive driver, particularly during the family 's excursion to Hoover Dam ( ' King of the Road ' ). Dad is known for being stubborn most of the time and his favorite hobbies include caring for his lawn ( ' Grounded For Life ' ), and fishing, particularly for `` Old Bob '', a legendary striped bass ( ' On Golden Pete ' ). Friends Ellen Josephine Hickle ( Alison Fanelli ) Ellen is Big Pete 's best friend ; though romance develops between the two on rare occasions, Pete generally sees Ellen as `` a girl and a friend, but not a girlfriend ''. Over the course of the show she demonstrates some obsessive tendencies. In the pre-season 1 shot `` The Dot '', as well as the season one episode `` Day of the Dot '' she attempted to achieve `` Perfect Dotness '' due to her placement `` riding the I '' in the Wellsville marching band 's show. Later that season she became fixated with metallurgy while in shop class. In season three she was fanatical at getting an A in Mr. Slurm 's driver 's ed course and near the end of the season getting a pizza on time to Endless Mike as a delivery girl. She played French horn in the band. Ellen is also a huge fan of Greco - Roman wrestling, and has vast knowledge on the subject as seen in the episode `` Pinned '' where she tries to coach Big Pete. Artie, the Strongest Man in the World ( Toby Huss ) Little Pete 's personal superhero, who is very eccentric but quite powerful -- for example, he can skip stones on Neptune, move an entire house by an inch, turn Hat Head ( the Petes ' bully ) into a jack - o - lantern and hit a golf ball 300,003 yards. Artie is also one of the few adults Little Pete seems to have any respect for. His catchphrase is `` For I am Artie -- the strongest man... in the world ! '' His trademark word `` pipe ! '' aggravates the adults of the community, and his favorite scent is the air let out from a car tire. He left the show after the 2 - part episode, `` Farewell My Little Viking ''. His spot in the opening credits would later be replaced in the third season with Nona 's. Theodore `` Teddy '' L. Forzman ( David Martel ) Teddy is one of Big Pete 's three friends ( the others being Ellen and Bill ). Teddy is kind of a dork and seemingly always in a good mood ( except when affected by the mind - controlling substance Orange Lazarus ). He is in the marching band with Pete and is known for bringing up odd facts and then remarking, `` what, you guys did n't know that ? ''. He also loves to exclaim `` Excelente ! '' while raising his finger and give `` soul shakes '' ( an elaborate handshake punctuated by hissing `` Soul ! '' ) to friends. Out of Big Pete 's friends, Teddy has been the only one to cause `` Endless '' Mike an emotional breakdown in `` The Road Warrior ''. Bill Korn ( Rick Barbarette ) Bill is Big Pete 's friend, who has a knack for practical jokes and sarcasm. He was renowned for getting Teddy to shoot milk out of his ears and getting Bus Driver Stu accused of kidnapping a busload of kids. He also admitted to once eating snot in the episode `` Field of Pete ''. ( This character did not appear in the third season. ) Nona F. Mecklenberg ( Michelle Trachtenberg ) Little Pete 's best friend. Her middle initial `` F '' stands for Frances, but she wants to change it to Frank, Fahrvergnügen, or Forklift. She wears a cast, not because she has a broken arm but because it causes an annoying, itchy feeling on her arm which she enjoys scratching. Nona took Artie 's place in the opening sequence for Season 3. She also had a brief crush on Little Pete once or twice in the series. Natasha ( Heather Matarazzo ) A neighborhood kid and Little Pete 's friend. She stays awake by pulling her pigtails. Monica Perling ( Maris Hudson ) One of Little Pete 's friends, Monica is the resident Kreb Scout ( Girl Scout in season 2 ) who is ready for anything. Her unfortunate luck with pets has given her a reputation as the `` Girl Scout of Death '', and she even has a graveyard for them. She has excellent hearing, supposedly because one of her ancestors married a bloodhound. Wayne Pardue ( Justin Restivo ) Also known as `` Wayne the Pain ''. First appearing in the third season, Wayne was one of Little Pete 's friends. But as his nickname implied, he was quite annoying. He frequently spouted expressions like `` Geez Louise '' and `` Super Genius ! '' and also had a crush on Monica ( as seen in `` Dance Fever '' ). Clem LaNelle ( Aaron Schwartz ) He was in several episodes as a friend of Little Pete. He served as the drummer of Little Pete 's band, The Blowholes, and was a member of the Nightcrawlers, staying awake longer than anyone other than Little Pete and Artie. Libby Hurley ( Winnie Zhang ) Appeared in the `` Nightcrawlers '' episode as a friend of Little Pete. Libby was adopted from China by the Hurley family. She stays awake via solar powered sneezes. Enemies `` Endless '' Mike Hellstrom ( Rick Gomez ) `` Endless '' Mike, mortal enemy of Big Pete, gets his nickname for reasons unknown ( though it is speculated that it came about because he is perpetually repeating the same year in high school. It is also stated that his nickname is derived from the fact that `` his hatred of Big Pete is endless ''. Another theory is that it is supposed to coincide with an anagram of his last name, making Mike an `` Endless Hellstorm '' ). `` Endless '' Mike reigns over shop class, has a car, and loves Neapolitan ice cream. Although his relationship with Big Pete is often antagonistic, they have joined forces on rare occasions, such as when Pete commissioned Mike to expel the family who bought his house, or borrowed his car to go on a date with Ellen ( although both of these collaborations failed ). In the episode `` Halloweenie '', he is the leader of the Pumpkin Eaters who are bent on ruining and destroying Halloween even though their reasons for hating the holiday are never explained, but implied from terrible experiences with Halloween itself. His family may own an exterminating business, as he is seen wearing a shirt with a `` Hellstorm Exterminators '' logo on the breast pocket in the episode `` Time Tunnel ''. Also in `` Time Tunnel '', `` Endless '' Mike hates Little Pete for embarrassing him at the drive - in theatre by showing everyone home movies of him as a baby and chases after him in his car. In `` Road Warrior '', Mr. Slurm ordered him to teach Teddy how to drive properly. Although `` Endless '' Mike tries to bully Teddy to put air in his car tires and make him watch his parking space, he is later driven to an emotional breakdown from being around Teddy too long. `` Hat Head '' ( Chris Leveille ) The first bully to pick on the Petes ; he appeared on several spots in the first and second season. Hat Head hates Halloween ( the first enemy to do so ) and is often foiled by Artie, the Strongest Man in the World. He was played by Chris Leveille, a Connecticut native. `` Open - Face '' ( Jason Late ) One of Big Pete 's enemies. A boy who is always shown eating open - faced sandwiches, even in church. Ellen dated him briefly in one episode. Fran `` Pit Stain '' Jones ( Eric Kushnick ) Little Pete 's mortal enemy, in season 3. He has a glandular disorder that gives him huge, smelly armpit stains. Pit Stain loathes Little Pete for giving him his nickname, which even teachers call him by. He is in love with Nona. He is also often seen with his goons, `` Hairnet '' ( Helen Davidson ) and `` Drawstring '' ( Yull Neri Borda ). Drawstring was later replaced by `` Nightbrace '' ( Robert Whitfield ). During episode 3.07, `` The Last Laugh '', Little Pete and Pit Stain worked together in a mastermind prank on Principal Schwinger and the `` Up With Personal Hygiene Singers ''. `` Paper Cut '' ( Christopher Conte ) Little Pete 's mortal enemy in the season 2 episode `` Farewell, My Little Viking '' ( parts 1 and 2 ). A boy who grew up in a copy shop and is covered with lacerations and scars from paper cuts as a result. `` Paper Cut '' can fold paper into hundreds of origami shapes including makeshift weapons. As with the rest of his motif, he always picks `` paper '' when playing rock - paper - scissors. `` Paper Cut '' originally started off as one of Artie 's mortal enemies and enjoyed making life miserable for the helpless students by making them throw rock. However, during his first rock - paper - scissors match up with Little Pete, he defies `` Paper Cut '' by playing scissors and enrages him. `` Paper Cut '' becomes his enemy and gets into a heated conflict with him. He makes it his personal mission to destroy Little Pete in the rematch. Unbeknownst to both him and `` Paper Cut '', when Artie returns with Mr. Wrigley, Little Pete defies him again by throwing his own weapon. Soon the students join him and run `` Paper Cut '' out of Wellsville. Principal Ken Schwinger ( Adam West ) The principal of Little Pete 's school. Schwinger loathes Little Pete and always tries to stop his pranks, to no avail. He has a strange love of personal hygiene and creamed corn. According to Big Pete, it was n't just the mandatory squat thrusts and the cream corn lunches that earned Schwinger his title as the most despised principal in Wellsville history, it was also Johnny Earwax ( a personal friend of his ) and seven other V - neck singers called the `` Up With Personal Hygiene Singers '' that did it for him. He put the show on every year until a prank masterminded by Little Pete and Pit Stain made Earwax and the Hygiene singers mistrust Schwinger. Lifeguard Mike `` The Urinator '' Uplinger ( Christopher Cooke ) The lifeguard at the Wellsville swimming pool and a mortal enemy of both Petes that appeared in ( `` Splashdown '' ). He was able to convince Big Pete to take charge of the situation by throwing Little Pete and his friends out of the pool and to save adult swim. However, Little Pete defies Uplinger by going through with the Atomic splash and orders Big Pete to start banning his brother right away. Instead, Big Pete turns against Uplinger and joins Little Pete as well. The adults in the pool soon join them diving in the pool like children. Uplinger was chased out of the pool by everyone after Monica exposes him as `` the Urinator '' for his inability to hold in his bladder properly from drinking too much coffee with a chemical known as Wee Wee See. Neighborhood members Phil Hickle ( Steve Buscemi ) Ellen 's father and guidance counselor of Big Pete 's high school. Once an enemy of Don Wrigley. James `` Pop '' Mecklenberg ( Iggy Pop ) Nona 's loving and occasionally overprotective dad. One of the many adults who feared Artie due to his strange ways until his mortal enemy, John McFlemp, came to Wellsville. Mr. Mecklenberg hates `` Endless '' Mike and his Pumpkin Eaters gang and after exposure, he forced Mike and his gang to clean up his house and the neighborhood. He went as far as calling `` Endless '' Mike a stooge and giving him a cotton swab for a missed spot. Mr. Tastee ( Toby Huss ) The mysterious ice cream vendor who symbolizes summer for the neighborhood kids. He never removes his mascot costume head and is very reluctant to let his customers get close to him. When the Petes ' attempts to strike up a friendship causes Tastee to flee, they spend a summer tracking him down with the help of Ellen. His ice - cream truck is named the Tastee Mobile. It is suggested he also used to be married to a blind millionaire who calls him `` Leonard ''. He is a parody of Mister Softee. Stu Benedict ( Damian Young ) An eccentric and emotionally unstable bus driver who drives both Petes to school, often while nursing wounds from a relationship with fellow bus driver Sally Knorp while shouting out quotes such as `` Passengers will refrain from KILLING MY SOUL ! '' However, Stu does play protector to Little Pete in the season 2 finale episode `` Sick Day '' when he helps him avoid getting caught, and in the season 3 episode `` The Good, The Bad and the Lucky '', where he puts Pit Stain and his gang under bus arrest. Frank Gulcher ( Jim Lally ) A crossing guard who defends the crosswalk with his life, abiding by `` the code of the crosswalk ''.
