Avant Guarde Childrens' television with "secret" adult content for the rest of us. Paul Reubens manchild charactor is given full reign in the best kids show ever. It pays tribute to 50's and 60's TV and yet stays modern with music by Devo, Residents, Danny Elfman, & Todd Rundgren. Leasons are learned in a fun way. Look for Cowboy Curtis giving Pee-Wee tips on dating, Reba the Mail lady playing Dr. with Pee-Wee, Slam dance lessons and more fun. If you have not seen it since you were a kid. See what you missed the first time around. Watch for NEW Pee-Wee movies. I love you Pee-Wee!

Pee Wee's playhouse is inspirational and incredibly imaginitive. My 3 and 5 year olds love it! After their Barney, Little Bear, Thomas the Tank, etc., they don't know quite what to think of Pee Wee, but they keep asking for it since they first saw it several weeks ago. I love Pee Wee's uncoventional humor and all around wackiness! I hope it inspires humor and a different way of looking at things in my children.

I got these tapes for my 3 year old and he loves them... we can watch them together... what a great show... it should never have been canceled

...in the age of Pokemon, the Powerpuffs and Sailor Moon, one can see how this oftentimes tongue in cheek inspired silliness is one of my daughters' favorites...mine also. See huge stars like Laurence Fishburne (years, I say, years before he performed Othello), Phil Hart and S. Epatha Merkerson have fun teaching the 2-5 year old contigency...it is great stuff I believe you and your kids will get a kick out of...

Episode 1: Beautiful acting performed by a star studded cast including: Phil Hartman(Kapn Karl), Lawrence Fishburne(Cowboy Curtis) John Paragon (Jambi) and of course, the creator of everyones favourite laugh, Paul Reubens aka Pee-Wee Herman.

I grew up on this stuff; it's great! I showed it to my little step-siblings and they can't get enough (ages 7 and 10). Gotta love Pee-Wee Herman and his silly genius. I only gave it four out of five stars because in this particular volume he doesn't jump into Magic Screen and sing the "Connect the Dots" song, but it's still definitely a worthwhile buy as far as secret words, an awesome theme song, and incredible guest stars.
