Trivia:

The idea for Pete and Pete's mom having a metal plate in her head came from the story of baseball player and coach Don Zimmer who had to have a metal plate put in his head after receiving a blow to the head by a ball in the 1950's.

Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In Big Pete's narration regarding Eisenhower, he claims he was the 35th president, when he was actually the 34th.

[Older Pete has just failed a driving simulator]
Mr. Slurm: Congratulations, Mr. Wrigley... you're dead.

wow I miss this show

I think of all the shows I still wish were on tv, I miss this one the most. this was one of the most weirdest creative sitcoms ever made. it was like this bizarre little suburban universe that I really wanted to be part of. not only was the writing great, but the music by one of my favorite bands polaris, is also great. I don't think that televison gets much more creative and funny than this show.
