Pee-wee's Playhouse stars Pee-wee Herman (played by Paul Reubens, voice of Lock in The Nightmare Before Christmas) and a crazy cast of characters from all over Puppetland. Each episode usually teaches a lesson to the viewer such has how to stay healthy or how to make friends. Pee-wee's Playhouse is aimed at children but can be enjoyed by all ages with its great sense of humor. For example, each episode has a secret word. Whenever anyone says the secret word, everyone screams as loud as they can.

Main Title Theme Song
Written by George McGrath, Mark Mothersbaugh, and Paul Reubens; performed by Ellen Shaw
Lyrics
Come on in, and pull yourself up a chair (like Chairry!)
Let the fun begin, it's time to let down your hair
Pee-wee's so excited,
'Cause all his friends have been invited (that's you!)
To go wacky, at Pee-wee's Playhouse

There's a crazy rhythm, comin' from Puppetland (what's that?)
Dirty Dog, Cool Cat, and Chicky Baby are the Puppet Band (yeah!)
He's got a couple of talkin' fish,
And a genie who'll grant a wish
Golly, it's cuckoo at Pee-wee's Playhouse

Globey's spinnin', Mr. Window's grinnin'
'Cause Pterri's flyin' by (hello!)
The Flowers are singin', the Picture Phone is ringin',
And the Dinosaur family goes, "Hi!"
Mr. Kite's soarin', Conky's still a snorin',
There's the flashing Magic Screen
The Cowntess is so classy, Randy's kinda sassy
A nuttier establishment you've never seen!
Spend the day with Pee-wee, and you'll see what we mean! (Come on!)

Get outta bed, there'll be no more nappin' (Wake up!)
'Cause you've landed in a place where anything can happen
Now we've given you fair warnin'
It's gonna be that kind of mornin'
For bein' wacky
For getting nutty
Golly, it's cuckoo
At Pee-wee's Playhouseless «

• Did you scream for real at the Word of the Day?

  I did. My husband wasn't thrilled that our little girl and I would do that. I liked it because it was some time when it was okay to yell in the house.

  I run a site which generates a new secret word each day, so anone can play along. http://secretword.tj9991.com/ For those of you who want to take it further, there is also a RSS feed, a Firefox extension, and a Google gadget. It's really easy to use, and anyone can submit their own ideas for future secret words. Hope you enjoy it :) less «

  Was the addition of this cartoon an effort to promote multiculturalism or what? While they might be good intentions I miss the classic "bijou" type black & white cartoons they showed during the first season. At least the Penny cartoons are still there.. but El Hombre? Does the cartoon even make enough sense to follow in the time it's shown? less «

  Hey,Jombi! hide « show »

  It's fair to me.It's crazier than CrashBox.It's really a good show.Even with that ice cream soup.It's based on that crazy Pee-Wee dude.It's not really bad for a dude like me.That's the secret word of the day.Dude.It's really better than that disturbing The PJs or Any boring classic show.It's not better than Family Matters.I have got to say 2 words:Hey,Jombi!It's not even putted on that Adult Swim anymore.How could you do that,Adult Swim?At least it was a classic show to be made.Now I can now grade this show a C because it was crazier and the craziest show ever made and it's better than that scary Mister Rogers Neighborhood.

  Entertainment at its oddest. hide « show »

  When I was a kid, I remember watching this show on video and on television. Even as a kid, I couldn't understand what was wrong with Pee-Wee. It was just like he was overly happy and needed to be calmed down. His friends were very entertaining. I liked ho they all interacted with one another. It was also very fun to watch the special guests come over for a visit. The things I didn't like was the nonsense the show said when it came to the words. I get that it is entertainment, but it isn't educational at all. Overall, a decent show. Thank you.

  This show is my only reason to keep on living. hide « show »

  You know what, I don't care WHAT Pee Wee Herman did. This show is amazing and should have never been canceled.
  First of all, the humor is incredible.
  Second of all, it's so creative! The setting, characters and plot are amazing!
  I could watch this show for hours on end without getting tired of it.
  And NO, I AM NOT JOKING. This review is completely serious. I am completely serious.
  Oh, not to mention, they taught me how to make FRUIT CUBES! Hello!? How would I go on living WITHOUT knowing how to make fruit cubes!
  So, in conclusion, out of 10, I rate this show a 12.

  Ah, truly a great show. hide « show »

  Pee-wee's Playhouse is a classic as it's one of the only shows aimed at young children that most adults might also be able to enjoy. The show has an insane cast of characters. One of my favourites is the genie, Jambi. However no character can beat that of pop culture icon Pee-wee Herman, Pee-wee is likely an adult but with a childlike personality and is played by Paul Reubens. Reuben's has appeared in quite a few of Tim Burton's films. These include Batman Returns, The Nightmare Before Christmas and of course Pee-wee's Big Adventure. Another notable thing about this show is that Rob Zombie, who is now a heavy metal musician and filmmaker, was a production assistant of this show.

  I loved this show when i was a kid :D hide « show »

  This show still comes on adult swim and i don't hesitate to watch it. I loved this show as a kid and as an adult wheeee! I still got some kid in me though XD This show was kind of perverted but also really fun, I loved the colors and peewee's voice when he sang "connect the dots, la la la la, connect the dots, la la la la" goddess its stuck in my head XD Anyway, you should watch this show if you remember it, i wouldn't suggest showing it to kids for its little tidbits of naughtiness lol. I do suggest watching the peewee movies though they were pretty funny. All in all, a great show for anyone who's a little wacky and likes claymation and craziness XD
