Website FAQ

How can I get all of the episodes on tape or DVD?

See the merchandizing page for your options.

Do you have any more information on this actor?

Nope. All of the information I have is in the Web site.

What is that piece of music in such-and-such an episode? Where can I get it?

Sorry, I don’t know. While I like the music on Pete & Pete, I don’t recognize most of it. So I’m relying on what other people tell me, and the music page reflects all that I know or have been told.

The most common request is for the song I call “Marmalade Cream”. It sounds a bit like Led Zepplin or Moutain, but to my knowledge they didn’t make it. I have not been able to find any other information about it.

Where can I get the theme song? When is Polaris going to release an album?

The theme song is available on a theme song cd from TeeVee Tunes; more importantly, Polaris has released an album. See the merchandizing page.

I know the missing line to the theme song. I know different lyrics.

I got the lyrics to the theme song from a very trusted source (an actual member of Polaris) who got them directly from Mark Mulcahy. Since Mulcahy is the actual singer of the song, I’m trusting his knowledge of the lyrics.

The most popular “correction” I get is that the chorus is “Does you dog bite?” instead of “Don’t you talk back”. I got the lyrics from the singer, so if you think they’re wrong, take it up with him.

I love this quote; could you add it to the Web site?

I used to maintain a list of quotes that people found interesting from the show. Due to time constraints, I’ve have discontinued that page.

Wasn’t Hunter S. Thompson in “New Year’s Pete”?

Some Hunter Thompson was in that episode, but it wasn’t the Hunter S. Thompson who wrote Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Earlier versions of this website claimed it was the Hunter S. Thompson; many Pete & Pete fans emailed me to correct this mistake. Thanks to all of you who emailed a correction, and sorry for the confusion.
