Summary: Feel Wacky At Pee Wee's Playhouse
Review: I remember the delierium of first seeing this show Saturday morning when I was six years old-keep in mind I was a quiet and overly observant little child.Upon seeing this I yelled "Mom,dad you've GOT to this this!!!!".Anyway during the era of 'The Muppet Babies' and other animated Saturday Morining fare this show stood out!But it wasn't until now seeing them as an adult do I realize just how amazingly artful this show is!Not only was there nothing like it in 1986 but nothing EVEN CLOSE now and,if there is,it's on an obscure cable channel aired late at night.Network TV before 'The Simpsons' needed a certain influx of energy and it got it with this.This review of course refers to people who have never seen the show.

Summary: A Must Own DVD set!
Review: "Pee Wee's Playhouse" is easily one of the most creative and entertaining television shows ever. I loved this show as a kid, and it's even better than I remember it, seeing it over a decade later. Paul Reubens is a genius and I hope this DVD release isn't the last we see of Pee Wee Herman.

Summary: Great Entertainment.....Bad Film Transfer
Review: Absolutley, hands down the best Satuday morning show there ever was. Wonderful to have this (2nd season) on DVD, especially since my kids now love him.

One important note though: The transfer to DVD is downright awful. Okay, I suppose the higher-ups didn't feel it necessary to produce a flawless transfer given the content. But at times it can be downright distracting. Portions out of focus, lines and pixelation. Ugh! There is another version coming out in 2005 packed with goodies (not the least of which is commentary by Paul himself), perhaps this will be a higher end product.

This being said....It is a purchase enjoyed by all.

Review: Fantastic Television. One of the best ever Saturday morning shows. Even Todd Rundgren does some of the music for the show! Excellent entertainment for all ages! Finally on DVD!

Summary: Very Good But...
Review: For the audio print-through. This problem goes back to the days of the reel to reel magnetic tape recorder. On some episodes you can hear Pee-Wee's voice before he talks (easy to hear on the Countess Party episode). Modern techniques can clear most of this problems and we can only hope next years rumored re-release re-masters the original magnetic recordings.

If you are only listening to the episodes on normal TV speakers you may not notice the problem at all. But if hooked up to a home cinema system you may.

Summary: PEE WEE'S BACK
Review: I love Pee-wee's Playhouse more now than i did as a kid. Now i really see how brilliant this show was. Each show is pure eye candy and Pee Wee is great. This music in the show is amazing some shows were composed by Todd Rundgren..wow. This show was pretty trippy now that i look back, but its great for kids. I remember loving this show and i used to get so sad at the end. Great ending music. A-

Review: just in time for everyone to buy for the generation of children which have been deprived of this genius television series.
hopefully this will spark enough interest to rebroadcast the series, and if mr. reubens is so interested to make more!

Summary: Great Fun for Kids and Adults!
Review: There's so many things that can be said about the cultural icon known has Pee Wee Herman ... AND HIS PLAYHOUSE!

You were swept away every Saturday morning to every kids dream, every kids dream playhouse, and things that you could NEVER dream up! This show/series was something different, and that's what made it such a great show! It was innovative, creative, ingenious ... and just plain FUN!

Now that it's on DVD, you can relive the show in pure nostalgia. Anyone who grew up with the show will have fun getting to know it again. I was 10 when it first came, now I'm 28, and it's just neat-o to see the show again and say, "Oh YEAH! I remeber that part! HAHAHA!"

I can't wait to show the series to my new neice!

We love you Pee-Wee!!!

Review: This is an absolute classic, that has been awarded numerous Emmys and critical acclaim. It's a show that both kids and adults can have a great time watching. Paul Reubens is an underrated genius, imo, who unforunately had some 'bad luck' along the way. I was sorry to see the series go, due to CBS's decision. Not many people were aware at the time that the Pee Wee's Playhouse theme song was sung by noneother than the underrated and extremely talented singer Cyndi Lauper, who used the pseudonym "Ellen Shaw." This is definitely one to own.
