Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

No offense to any of the fans, but I only find this show enjoyable through the aid of mind altering drugs. Episodes prove to be pointless and the movie was probably the only true highlight of Paul Reubens career, other than when he did the character in the Cheech and Chong movies, which also go funny with a side of crack. I am fairly convinced Paul Reubens did this role after he did some lines. Have you ever noticed how his nostrils are flared out a little bit? There's some food for thought. Anyhow it was a pretty good show once you got past the silly stuff. Interesting characters as well. 9/10, and I don't know why.

My brother and I loved Pee Wee Herman's Playhouse. I was 10 and my brother was 8 when it came on. It made learning a lot of fun believe it or not. My grandmother couldn't stand it whenever we put Pee Wee on but far be it from a 10 year old girl and an 8 year old boy to listen to anything that their grandparents have to say. I didn't care about anything that my grandmother had to say. I still love Pee Wee Herman and there's not a single thing that he could do wrong in my eyes.

Unlike most of the others commenting, I was in University by the time Pee-wee's Playhouse came along. One year I had a roommate who had this strange habit of hitting the record button while he channel-surfed. It was probably stranger because of the fact he was usually in an "alternative" state of mind while doing so, but... One night/morning he caught a snippet of the show. There was a bit with Pee-wee where he introduced a cartoon. Not a big deal, but the cartoon itself we rewound and watched over and over and over. We would rewind and watch it in frame advance with our jaws hanging open. All that it was, as near as I can remember, was a little kid running through a cave with blue walls. But in slo-mo you could see that the walls of the cave were made up of sketches of Ronald Reagan and sayings like "USA #1". Nobody else I've ever told this story to has ever remembered this cartoon, but it still creeps me out to this day...

As a child growing up in the 1980s (born October 1982), you could not avoid watching "Pee-Wee's Playhouse." Originally airing on CBS from 1986-1990, it was a staple in the viewing habits of youngsters of all ages (and sometimes, their parents too!)Pee-Wee Herman (Paul Rubens) has a wacky, funny playhouse. When we come to visit his playhouse, Pee-Wee treats the visitors (viewers) to games, cartoons, friends, and the "The Secret Word of the Day" (AHHHHH!) The presentations in his playhouse are always fun and educational, and tend not to drive the parents crazy. The guests are assorted oddballs, such as Captain Carl, Miss Yvonne, and Cowboy Curtis, as well as "The Salesman" ("I'm here to make you this one-time special offer--" "AAAAHHHH!").This was by-far one of the greatest kiddie shows on television during my early years. If you ask anyone around my age, they will proudly tell you that they watched Pee-Wee. (In fact, my brother and I used to scream when they said the Secret Word of the Day) This was one of the most fun sows on TV, and was cancelled so abruptly after Ruben's rather interesting ordeal. My mom used to watch this with my brother and I when we were in pre-school, and continued to watch it with us when we started Kindergarten in 1988. I was saddened when it was cancelled after I finished first grade in 1990, as was many kids who idolized Pee-Wee, and looked up to him as our entertainment. This a such a great and educational show, and I am sad to not be able to see the reruns (tragically, I don't have any on tape) and that future generations will never see what a great show this was. I'm hoping a children's networ will bring back the reruns. I'm hoping I will find videos somewhere, as I would like to be able to show my own children some day who this children's programming genius was. You know how big of a fan I am??? I have Pee-Wee Herman's scream on my AOL Instant Messanger.The secret word of the day is "fun." "Pee-Wee's Playhouse" is the most "fun" you can have in a half-hour. "Ahhhhhhh!" Brings back old memories.
