Never be afraid of someone before you even know them, especially monsters.

The reason I classified this episode as "informative" is because it teaches a lesson on how to overcome your fears. Pee-wee tells his friends and us viewers that he used to be scared of the dark. Almost everybody gets frightened of the dark once in a while.

I first saw this episode during Halloween season on Fox Family (which is now ABC Family) - the perfect time for monsters. When Roger began to speak, all of us can understand what he was saying. Even if you have nightmares about monsters, I would suggest you make them more friendly like Roger and get to know them more, not judge them how they look.

This episode has a lesson for all of us who are scared of things like monsters and the dark.moreless

"rrrrrrrrr." Monster: "(screams) Monster: she said the secret word.

That monster is not a monster. I love this episode.

A great episode if you love Pee-Wee. First before he was in a kid show, Pee-Wee's Playhouse was a adult comedy. It was live on stage. A person who was watching it live said he should be a kid show. So it was. Pee-Wee is back on Cartoon Network at

11:00 PM. Or if you own Dish it is 8:00 PM. These are the numbers to it

Cartoon Network (dish): Channle 176

Cartoon Network (cable): Channle 42

East Dish: 11:00 PM

East Cable: 2:00 AM

West Dish: 8:00 PM

  Pee-wee reads in the pen-pal letter from New York, "If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. It's up to you." These words are similar to the lyrics from Frank Sinatra's famous 1950's song, "New York, New York".
