Watch out! You never know when the ants will sneak out of an ant farm and get in your pants. You'll have to do that Ants in Your Pants too!

"Superb"

Lots of things happen at the playhouse every day. But you'd better be ready when the ants are about to get you. The Ants in Your Pants Dance is practically the itchiest part of the whole episode. When I first saw it, I knew Jambi would send the ants back to their ant farm.

I have several favorite parts from this episode. My most favorite part is the Connect-the-Dots game where Pee-wee lands on the planet of the giant ants. I have made parfets before, and they were really good! My next favorite part is where we see Pee-wee walking on the ceiling. Paul must have practiced that seen for a great deal of time. How does he do it?

This episode isn't one of my top 10 favorites. It's more in the top 20's.moreless
