Agreed. That show was quite bizarre for being on a kids network. That, Salute Your Shorts, and Welcome Freshmen were great early 90's shows.
The wrestling episode was freaky.
I remember everyone kept getting kidnapped but they made it seem like they were being slowly killed off one by one.

My favorite Pete And Pete was the one where Pete (The younger one) has his own radio station, but he doesn't like music. He was on his way to school one morning and heard this garage band playing and fell in love with the song. The band falls off the face of the earth and he has no idea who they were or what song it was. Later, he gets a guitar and tries to learn it himself.

Who the hell was that band anyway? I knew once but I forgot...

Can anyone help me out!? There was this show I used to watch religiously about this quirky camp somewhere in Canada. It was something like 'Moose lodge' or something. They had theses guys with ping pong balls that went nuts and other hilarious characters. It wasn't a 'real' camp in the sense.

Don't think it was salute your shorts.

Yeah, I don't think it was either. Any more info? The only thing Ping Pong balls makes me think of is Captain Kangaroo! Haha.

It was made later in the decade. They had this guy singing this catchy tune about ping pong balls. It rocked. Nature nut was another guy I think.

Hmm. There was this weird guy on a Nick Jr. show who lived in a log out in the middle of the woods. He use to play the guitar and sing a lot... in fact that's the show that taught me how to whistle... which I then forgot how to do. Hah.

unfortunately I cannot remember the name of it.

Fred Penner's Place? I always wanted to go out to his place in the woods, I remember he had to go through this cool log thing.

The other day I looked up what a zoetrope was because I'd forgotten and I remembered them making one on Mr. Wizard. Also they had an episode where Mr. Wizard made a huge kaleidoscope you could sit in. Man, I want one of those. Mr. Wizard was the best. I always thought if I could just figure out where he lived I could go over to his house like all those other kids.

Yup. Fred Penner's Place. That's it.

Yeah, Mr. Wizard was the man. Maybe BOC were influenced by him in some manner. Kaleidoscopes and Zoetropes and what have you...

Science rules!
