In this episode of the 90s Rewind Report, hosts Michael Reagan, Nate Lane, and Brayden Decker rewatch The Adventures of Pete & Pete, Season 2, Episode 2: “Grounded for Life.” which originally aired on Nickelodeon September 4, 1994.

Little Pete is grounded for the entire month of July after one of his wild science experiments destroys his dad’s precious lawn. It couldn’t come at a worse time—just before the long-standing lawn rivalry with neighbor Mr. Lerdner comes to a head. The stakes? The loser has to mow both lawns all summer. So Little Pete, naturally, starts plotting his great escape. Think Shawshank Redemption, but with more crabgrass. His deadline? Independence Day.

This episode dives deep into the Wrigley family dynamics—especially the relationship between Little Pete and his dad. There are themes of pride, ego, forgiveness, and unexpected friendship, all wrapped in Nickelodeons signature quirky 90s tone.

In this nostalgic splat of an episode, the 90s Rewind Report gang dives headfirst into the orange-soaked universe of 1990s Nicktoons—a golden age where animation got weird, wild, and wonderfully relatable. Join Michael Reagan, Lilly Valentine, and our resident Nicktoon historian Nate Lane as they hopscotch through a decade of Saturday morning chaos, after-school rituals, and cartoon characters that still live rent-free in our collective memories.

Nate leads the charge with his encyclopedic knowledge of Nickelodeon's animated lineup from 1990 to 1999, guiding us from the crudely charming beginnings of Doug, Rugrats, and Ren & Stimpy, through the heyday of Rocko's Modern Life, Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, and Hey Arnold!, all the way to the stylized absurdity of CatDog, The Angry Beavers, and Rocket Power.

Meanwhile, Michael and Lilly drop their own slime-covered takes, sharing laugh-out-loud personal stories, favorite catchphrases, and the occasional “Did that really happen?” moment. From the existential dread of Ren & Stimpy to the urban heart of Hey Arnold, every show gets its due—and a few deep cuts (looking at you, Kablam!) make surprise appearances too.

Whether you were a Cynthia-wielding Angelica fan or a Donnie-from-Wild Thornberrys chaos goblin, this episode has a little something for every 90s kid who ever begged their parents for just one more episode.

So grab your Fruit Gushers, get comfy on that beanbag chair, and hit play—because it’s time to Rewind & Slime.
