  • sweet vlahg

  • Its always the most creative shows that suffers and any fan of such shows deserve to rant and be pissed. One show I'm disappointed that they ended abruptly was Dead Like Me THAT WAS A GOOD FUCKIN SHOW !!!

  • It wasn't the DVD sales that didn't do well, it was just the fact that they didn't want to release season 3.

  • it costs money to buy shelf space in a store. marketing is extremely expensive. they probably thought they wouldn't make more than those particular expenses.

  • somehow, I think if Slackers would've done better in theaters, they'd have put all of them out within the month.

    One of those two has to have some kind of breakthrough role, like NOW)

  • Are we going to have to sell our souls to Paramount to get season 3? Jesus, 4 years later and I'm still outraged!

  • I know I'm responding to a vid after it's been up for more than 3 years but it's still true! How would a DVD of Salute Your Shorts, Hey Dude, Are You Afaid of the Dark, and all of the other older shows not sell well?? I wonder if the studios just don't know how to market to anyone other than tweens anymore.

    P.S. Brisco County Jr. was awesome.

  • fox sucks for canceling king of the hill for the cleveland show

  • @MrFredisafaggot not now beavis and butthead are on now!!

  • you are lovely and i agree with you! yes! season 3! right now!

  • Comment removed

  • good rant my little viking

  • I know 39 episodes taped from N are available bootleg that may have had an effect on marketing, pete and pete is a great show.

  • Season 3 of pete and pete, and Salute your short both seasons. god damn i remember when i was a kid and watched those. Another one that short be released on dvd is Space Cases.

  • wow. and i liked paramount's shows. now i'm dissapointed. and i like your jacket =)

  • Creativity, spontaneity, and ingenuity have been slowly squeezed out of every facet of society. Replaced with corporate templates for success. Welcome to the corporatocracy.

  • i love pete and pete to man

  • amen brotha... These guys have been pissing me off for years when they do this stupid shit over and over again with amazing shows. Do the petition things, write your local executive douche bag, but if you really want to shit where they eat, support your local bootlegger.

  • and you hit it right on the head. These guys are clueless and they are a perfect example of why mainstream media is dying right now and will continue to die.  Teh internets.

  • Nicely done buddy. 100% right on.

  • ture.

  • Family Guy made a good point when they got canceled and in their first come back episode they named all the shows that got canned by Fox. Fox rolls out the crap hoping people eat it up and ignore famous and popular shows that already have a huge fan base cult following. Shows like Pete and Pete and Rocko's Modern Life don't get the respect they deserve.

    I can only get Rocko's Modern Life on bootleg and that's really sad.

  • Hahaha absolutely amazing. You're ending was grand. GRAND I SAY!

  • This video rocks! I agree with you 100%.

  • Karl Marx once said that religion "is the opiate of the masses."

    Incorrect.

    If the past nine years have proven anything, that title is best suited for Reality TV

  • just to see the shows that they grew up loving, and getting scammed outta their money. Its Bullshit! WTF, release them anyway! SOMEONE's bound to buy them! Id sooner make a couple hundred bucks off shitty sales than have them stored in a warehouse not making ANY money!

  • These DVD companies suck Ass! There are so many collections of AWESOME shows that you cant finish the sets. For Instance: Diff'rent Strokes, Pete and Pete, Highway to Heaven, Amazing Stories, and many others. They blame it on poor DVD sales, but yet these second rate Rip-off Companies produce Bootleg copies, and a lot of times rip off the consumer because they dont even have what they are advertising, and people are buying

  • @jimandtara23 It's so fucking dumb, dvds cost like a dollar to make...

    Yet they sell them for 30!! And don't even market this shit!

    They're dumb because they don't understand how to market the demographics that want them. They fail to understand the new technology that has come about because they're still stuck in the 60s and 70s.

  • "You're dumb. And we hate you. Thanks for ruining life. For all of us."

    1000% agreed.

  • NO FUCKIN SHIT! I'm on the edge of fuckin' disasterous circumstances for this fucking corporation. This show made my childhood worth living. Everyone who is a so called fan, fuck it, you didn't buy the mutha fucka!

  • Rick Astley looks like Pete from Pete and Pete.

  • Fuck Yeah Dude...U re fuckin' right!

  • You are correct there is no explanation on "Why" it never came out. I also hate Paramount. I freaked and everyday I ball them out. We were lucky because Pete and Pete got 2 seasons out. Clarissa Explains it All got only one. I feel your pain. Oh yes Firefly is awesome.

  • on myspace there are some pete and pete tribute pages and one has a link to a petition to get season 3 out. john

  • i want my season three i miss quality shows that i grew up with brfore these dumb shows that focus on color and shiny things. pete and pete, salute your shorts, rockos modern life, ren and stimpy, angry beavers, ahh real monsters. wtf why after my generation did all these dumb shows come out like zoey 101 o_0

  • Don't forget Firefly!

  • i feel your pain.

  • You can download season 3 if you really want to see adam west. Torrents are your friend.

  • I personally downloaded all the episodes through torrents but I would like it better if they came out with all the seasons for me to buy that way I wouldn't have settle with the shitty quality that you get with torrents.

  • Now shows that suck are put on dvd quickly to make some money back but for some reason with good shows you gotta make a petition and bug the shit out of them for years.

  • Fuck Yeah Dude

  • Dude - I totally agree with you...

    plus, you're freakin funny. ;)

    Subscribing! :D

  • exactly

  • Thank you, because i've been saying the exact same thing for years now. Everyone go to paramount, go to distribution and complain about pete and pete. Also on iTunes you can get the first season of Hey Dude.

  • wow you speak the truth and i was so waiting for the pete and pete season. i loved fire fly as well fucking fox!

  • you can get adventures of pete and pete on netflix or blockbuster online, just make a copy of it.

  • u cant they are copy protected they cant be burnt

  • or, if youre smart, you know how to get around that.

  • but they dont have season 3, so screw that and it has my favorite episode on it "saturday". =/

    you can just go buy the first two seasons..

  • Such a good fucking point dude. I am the biggest fan of shows like Pete and Pete, Salute Your Shorts, Hey Dude and would buy ALL of those shows on DVD if they were out.... speaking of that... right up until this video that I am watching now... I had NO idea there was a Pete and Pete DVD! I will go find this and buy it immediately!

  • paramount owns dreamworks so i dont think dreamworks suck

    if its just me thats fine but i think dreamworks should be left out of this video because they kick ass, both the movies (shrek, transfomers)and how they got started plus they have Steven spilberge

  • spielberg is a hack

  • he's a legend

  • the seal sez: he hangs out with george lucas way too much.

  • so, tom cruise is a Scientology which is laughable...but he's still a cool person

  • by this i meant, Spielberg is not a HACK

  • spielberg makes bad movies. you enjoy bad movies.

  • fox can suck me off! pete and pete rules my asshole.

  • And, yeah, there's NO marketing. If I had seen a commercial or ad for "Pete & Pete" on DVD I would've bought it that fucking week. But that's just how this godforsaken fucking country is. Damn it.

  • Dude start a pettition. I'll sign it. They'd better damn well produce it!!

  • There is going to be a new show on Fox called Fringe. It part of the new Fall schedule. I for one am going to support this show.

  • Well said, sir! Arrested Development and Firefly were two of the greatest shows ever! And even though I have all 3 seasons of AD and the one season of Firefly, along with Serenity, on DVD, these were critically acclaimed TV shows that got cancelled too early because FOX are a bunch of stupid assholes!!!

  • AGREED! And now they're are probrably going to obliterate the Max Payne movie as well.

  • Dude, we should fight to get shows like Pete & Pete to show reruns again for a week on Nick. We should make a petition and then send it to both Paramount and Nick. For a whole friggen week, a month, year, decades, etc we should get shows like this to show again. Think about it, the kids who grew up in the 2000's will never know the greatness of this show.

  • "On Nickelodeon a long time ago." GEEZ, now i feel old. When i was a kid, that shiz was current. Freaking. awesome. (Sigh) Pete and Pete was awesome to me before I even knew that Principal Schwinger was Adam West. :P

  • search for adventures of pete and pete on mininova...download the one that says "all 3 seasons" erase season 2 cause its crappy quality...goto isohunt and download season 2...there ya go FUCK VIACOM!!!!!

  • wait...nevermind...Isohunt has it all now =D

  • that sucks cuz I have season 1 wanted buy the rest of the seasons. I love pete and pete!

  • Buy the other two DVD's (P&P Season 2 and Clarissa Season 1); I'm trying to get a lot of people to buy them because while I doubt it, it's possible that sales could bring the releases back and we can get the last Pete & Pete, the rest of Clarissa, You Can't Do That on TV, and so many more that have been cheated. It's deffinately a longshot but at this point I'll try anything. Just a suggestion.

  • I love you.

  • I love you too.

  • i thought you loved only me? You whore!!!

  • nelson ratings is total bullshit that is why good shows get cancelled for instance the state of Indiana has a population of over 6 million and nelson only has 400 ratings boxes in the whole state so 400 people are suppose to pick what over 6,000,000 people are watching .....Go Jericho

  • Funny and quite real.

  • I love torrents. I always torrent every TV show, movie and album that I want. Have not paid for any media in over 5 years since I can get it all for free! All my Playstation 2 games were downloaded from torrent sites aswell and ran on a modded system. Saved me a bundle over the years.

  • Firefly had to go as it was not economically viable.

  • Yeah, it's really, really retarded.

    I only found out last week that Are You Afraid of the Dark is avaliable on DVD - one of many examples of shitty marketing.

    Simiarlaly, it irritates me is when they change the packaging i.e. With Buffy & Angel, they were originally released in box sets, but now they're only released in a single DVD with three discs.. I guess because it's cheaper to do it this way or whatever.. But it's fucking ridiculous...

    Also, you move your hands a lot.

  • Arrested Development was advertised, but they had really stupid commercials aimed at what is seriously called the idiot demographic. THEY WERE LITERALLY AIMING A CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED SHOW AT IDIOTS. Why? Because I guess they liked the show and wanted their friends and relatives to see it.

  • i LOVED salute your shorts

  • Fox does suck

    I recently bought Arrested Development Season 1 on DVD

    and it's awesome!

    they need to bring it back right now

  • There's a movie on the horizon.

  • I still need to see Arrested Development but I did see Firefly recently; it took a while to get into but I absolutely love it. Why the fuck was that cancelled? Damn you FOX; not only are they retarded for cancelling A.D. and Firefly but Futurama as well (which is at least getting 4 DTV movies). But still, I can't wait to see Serenity (the Firefly movie). I hear someone dies...

    Random but I highly recomend watching Carnivale, although it's in a position identicle to Firefly's but it's awesome.

  • Yay

    maybe this will get it back on the air.

    I now have all 3 seasons of Arrested Development. What a great show. David Cross was right. They should fire their entire marketing staff.

    .

  • What staff?

  • Companies always take into whether the fan base is large enough to justify the marketing cost. I've heard the reason Season 3 got pushed off Paramounts agenda is that the company had an intellectual property lawsuit.

  • I'm surprised that no one has seem to comment about how Clarissa Explains it All (seasons 2-5) was pulled as well. Everywhere you look Pete & Pete is the only show being mentioned and never Clarissa. I seriously feel like I'm the show's only fan since I bet most people got Pete & Pete 1-2 and ignored the S1 DVD for Clarissa. Even if it didn't do well it deserves it's remaining 4 seasons and Pete & Pete deserves it's last. Something needs to be done. Would buying more copies of the 3 do anything?

  • I really like Clarissa as well, but I think Pete and Pete has more of a "cult" fan base.

  • I deffinately agree that Pete & Pete has more of a "cult" following, but Clarissa Explains it All was one of Nick's most popular shows (and best, up with P&P). It's just kind of annoying to see it so neglected. The worst part is that I can't find any torrents at all for the remaining four seasons; I might uy some old VHS tapes off amazon cheap as I am kinda desperate (sad I know; at least I found a lot of P&P Season 3 online). Just curious but did you get the Clarissa DVD?

  • TV land sucks now too!

  • It's amazing, isn't it? I have no idea how someone could possibly screw up TV Land but they found a way, now it's up with MTV, VH1, Disney (sorta), and, above all, Nickelodeon as channels that were at one point in time amazing. Even Nick @ Night seems a little off.

  • why is TV land showing movies now>?? and why are they now showing movies all the other channels show? now they have reality shows--SHEESH!!!

  • Loved the end of this vid. Yeah, I realized it's like years old but anyway just had to comment. Show's back in the day like Pete and Pete, Flash Forward, Bobby's World; my god were they awesome beyond belief. I look at shows kids watch today and I'm like what the heck were these people on when they made this crap. I mean seriously, t.v. today isn't what it used to be. With the exception of Supernatural, Heroes, Kyle XY & several others. Yeah, t.v. stations suck big time.

  • Ya know somethnig pal? YOU SUCK!!!

  • Well ya know what pal, YOU SUCK!!!

  • Fox sucks ass.

  • I LOVE U!!!!!!4 REAL THOU

  • absolutely remarkable.

  • Oh god, don't even get me started about arrested development getting canceled. Oh wow. Congrats... 2 SUBSCRIBERS!

  • Heh, this video is kinda old. I have 137 now :)

  • so, i cant discribe how much i agree with this rant.I luckly had a dvr when arrested devlopment came out, but it was a complete tragety it was cancelled. At least the dvds are cheap and not non-existant. Season three was amazing as i remeber it, but just like pete's favorite song, without seeing it i am losing the details. Season 3 must come out!

  • I feel your pain man,i have seasons 1 & 2 and was really looking forward to season 3.

    Fucking Paramount, what really pisses me off is they wont bring it out on dvd, yet if you post episodes from season 3 on youtube, they try and sue ya!

    fuckers.

    Dude, as i write this comment your video has been viewed 14,109 times.

    Why not get people to send in abbusive letters?

    maybe that might work?

  • every jack ass ive ever talked to about box tv seasons......allways..allways look at me like what the hell are you talking about 'brisco county junior',,,fuckin awsome shit

  • Excellent rant.

    Pete and Pete was such a great show.

    IGGY POP was on during season 2.

    I feel sorry for kids today who watch Nickelodeon. What do they have?

    So many great shows have been ruined because of marketing.

    Freaks and Geeks

  • That's an excellent example. Freaks and Geeks is another fantastic show that never got any breathing room marketing wise.

  • hell yeah

  • I agree. The release shit like spongebob, or hell pick any retarded shit on that station, but they wont release the actual good shows that made their ass back in the 90's?

  • stupid paramount. trying to destroy our childhood memories.

  • he's right i didn't even know there was a pete and pete DVD

  • Amen brother. Paramount and Nick could make so much money if they started producing dvd's of all the early 90's nick shows.

  • You say what all the fans are thinking!

  • Damn that was a great video.

  • fox and paramount are fucking stupid

  • I really agree with you. What the fucking hell is going on in the head of Paramount? I found out pete and pete had 2 seasons out back in 2006, so I bought the first and second season. Its like, why release the 1st and 2nd season if you won't release the last season. It makes no god damn fucking sense.

  • yes, paramount and fox r a some fucked up group that removes ther best shows for no reason. i hate them more than i hate disney. there is nothing worse than paramount and teen girls watching 3 year old kid shows.

  • viacom busted me with all the season 3 episodes I uploaded.....those fuckers..soo...just goto mininova...search for adventures of pete and pete :D download the one that says "all 3 seasons" ...erase the season 2 folder cause its bad quality...then goto isohunt and download season 2...there ya go..if you have no idea what I'm talking about...just download azureus first..

    Dogbyte420

  • pete and pete was the best show ever and it sucks that there not putting it in stores

  • speak...

  • dude...there has to be some way of getting season 3 of pete and pete...there has to be or im probably gonna force a hot curling iron up my ass.

  • Bootlegs. I bought a set of bootleg DVDs five years ago and I've got Season 3 and all the shorts.

  • this guy on the video has a pete and pete hair cut. but the guy who wrote below me.... amen brotha... its hard to fnd REAL educational programming...but then why would people go to college if you COULD learn from the tv!!!

  • Fox and Paramount, moreso, FOX hates intelligent programming, and their fans. It's cheaper by far to produce something that has NO real redeemable intellectual value.

  • lol..yea

  • I WANT SEASON 3! i am from england and i ordered season 1 and 2 from america because this show pwns the best in the world i just totally love it.

    THEY HAVE TO DO SEASON 3!!

  • yeah pretty much agree with you

  • ehh..I'm uploading some season 3 right now...my personal opinion..its not as good as the first two..

  • how true grrrrrr

  • Does anyone have The episode Christmas Pete...cause that was my favorite episode and i cant find it anywhere!

  • uploading right now

  • lets kill those fuckers

  • It's bad enough that I agree with you, DOUGH-NUT PUNCHER!

  • the only smart thing fox did was cancel family guy...there is only one funny family guy episode in existance...and thats the one where Lois takes Karate and beats up her instructor and rapes Peter later that night...LOL...other than that, Family Guy is an unfunny piece of shit...

  • dude get a life

  • The dada off of pete and pete hary rawls is my 3rd cousin.

  • Another reason the network's pulled the shows is the advertisers. Either the show insulted the advertisers or the advertisers saw no money in it. Another reason would be rating. Sure the fan base might be there and might be huge, but they dont all watch the show at the time when its episodes are premiered. Ratings, Advertisements, and Money.

    See the film from 1976 called "Network".

  • Totally true on the lack of marketing. I would absolutely have bought the seasons that are out when they came out but I had no idea.

  • Oh, and on an unrelated note, I love the name. Homestar Runner fan? :)

  • You guessed right! Nobody ever figures it out.

  • Pete and Pete was great, but what I'd really love to see on DVD is Rocko's Modern Life. That's gotta be one of the best cartoons ever made. Everyone I know who watched it while they were growing up still has fond memories. I bet it'd make a truckload of money if Nickelodeon released it (with proper marketing, as you said). Lord knows it's better than anything they're showing nowadays (with the exception of the first three seasons of SpongeBob).

  • I would love Rocko on DVD.

  • Yes, it's a crime that Rocko isn't on DVD - it was a hilarious show, an absolute classic, way better than anything on Nickelodeon now. (And I also thought the first 3 seasons of Spongebob were great, but now it's gotten stupid.)

  • Yeah, they really dumbed it down. It hardly seems like the same show anymore. A shame, as it used to be one of my favorites.

  • I didn't even know the first two seasons were on DVD, let alone that the third one wasn't. I guess that just adds further support to your crappy marketing remark (which I completely sympathize with, by the way).

  • Fox is stupid they canceled family guy.

  • arrested development is the shit

  • dude.. i hear you...

    i just bought seasons one and two.

    even on the inside of my dvd case, a piece of paper popped out that said "look forward to season 3!"

    well. im glad they fucked that up!!!!

    damn them all!!!

  • This could have easily been me ranting. Everything you feel, I feel. I love Pete and Pete, Salute your Shorts, Are You Afraid of the Dark, Clarissa Explains it All, Doug. Then on the other side; Firefly, Wonderfalls, Starved, so many other well written well performed shows. What the fucks up with American Idle anyway, that show sucks. And why doesnt MTV have videos any more. MTV is nearly singlehandedly responsible for destroying a generation. I Love New York 2? What the fuck is that?

  • this is why people are pirating their shit because all they care about is making money

  • dont be sad,'cause 2 out of 3 aint bad...

  • go to tvshowsondvd,com and vote on salute your shorts to come out on dvd, it has 4070 votes,it is the 5 most requested show on there site ,lets get it to 1 ,don't vote more than once or use or make a fake email address to get votes higher or they will delete all the votes,o also check out hey dude it has 2,922 votes

  • WOW, had no idea anybody felt as compelled about the issue as I. Completely agree, grew up with the classics, all of which are mentioned in rant... Sort of feels like life as we knew it is dieing..

  • I'm watching "Farewell, My Little Viking Part II. Damn the coporate man. You're right Adam West completed season 3.

  • Seriously... I need 3 of PETE AND PETE DAMNIT.

  • Hahahaha, your Fox Exec impression ROCKS!

    I really liked Pete & Pete, along with many of the great live action shows that they had on the channel at the time. What happened?

  • omg u right just marry me lets have two sons one named pete and the other named pete

  • somebody should just post the complete Season 3 on youtube or something.. i bought Seasons 1 and 2 on DVD aswell :\

  • If you are such a "marketing" genius then why aren't you out there making millions doing it? And yes there is a fan base for shows like pete and pete, i am a fan myself, but it isnt a large enough fan base to make enough money for the product to be successful. Not every fan from the past will buy the DVD and almost nobody that didn't like the show or don't remember the show will buy the dvd either.

  • Thanks. Its about time somebody that works for Paramount responds to my video. (I wouldn't take this comment seriously)

  • i love you

  • fox does suck, I bought the collectors edition of Serenity. Maybe they'll see that people really do like their shows. My home just became a nielsen family so look out. Reality Shit is gettin no love from us.

  • looks like youre also into awesome video games that dont get nearly enough credit. fuck yeah earthbound.

  • Just for the people who are 'making fun of you', they need to shut the fuck up.

    PETE AND PETE. oh my god.

    No. I'm like... married to that show.

    So.

    You make a gooooooooooooooooooooooood point.

    I love you for this.

    And we must attack.

  • I agree with you. Pete and Pete is the greatest show ever. Iggy Pop was on there too, and well as the guy from REM. they had so many good actors. It's a shame the fans cant get ahold of the collection.

  • Adam fucking West

  • just get to the point

  • What the hell is wrong with you?

  • lmao

  • Dude you rock......this show was my life as a kid....its people like you who can get the great shows of are childhood back on T.V.....

    Watch on man.....

  • i love Pete and Pete, but you are an idiot...

    do you really think someone care about what

    you say???

  • Congrats, this is my first negative comment for this video.

  • its not about you, it is - Fox and Paramount don´t care about what we say, believe me, i would also like

    to have the whole collection...

    but this vid is just because you want to see

    yourself on youtube... nothing else!

    marko

  • btw.. you look like big Pete

  • ...no, I think he made it clear that it's a, "Blog."

  • remember when that turtle had fucking amnesia?

  • I think you are the cutest thing I have ever seen, and I almost wet my pants when you said "Nickleoden Rewind Collection". Wow! Pete & Pete = best thing to happen to tv.

  • No.

  • Omg. Pete and Pete, Firefly and Brisco County Jr?

    You are perfect.

  • hey, i feel your pain... i also want to complete my p+p dvd series. It might not be over dude. dont give up hope. maybe you can order season 3 eventually from Australia like i have w/ Lizzie McGuire and Mew Mew Power. Dont ask why, just know (like Pete) they are rays of Saturday morning sunshine. My computer is permanently switch to region 4! dont get mad... find loopholes and shortcuts.
