Pee-Wee's Playhouse is a children's show that aired on CBS from 1986-1990 and centered around the life of the boyish Pee-Wee Herman (Paul Reubens) and his friends in Puppetland. Pee-Wee's home, the magical playhouse, is home to talking furniture, like Chairry (Alison Mork), Globey (George McGrath), and Magic Screen (Alison Mork), lively puppets, such as Ptery the Pterodactyl (John Paragon and George McGrath) and Randy (Wayne White), and even a talking robot, Conky (Gregory Harrison and later Kevin Carlson). Almost everything in the playhouse has a personality and can talk. Pee-Wee is often visited by the many inhabitants of Puppetland, such as Cowboy Curtis (Laurence Fishburne), Captain Carl (Phil Hartman), Miss Yvonne (Lynne Marie Stewart), and Reba the Mail Lady (S. Epatha Merkerson). Each episode of Pee-Wee's Playhouse typically revolves around a theme that can be educational to children, such as making new friends or learning what to do during a rainy day. A popular recurring gag is each episode's secret word, and the entire cast screams as loud as they can anytime anyone on screen says that word. Although designed for kids, Pee-Wee's Playhouse is based off of a much more adult stage show and HBO special, and adults often appreciate the television series as much as their kids do. The music for Pee-Wee's Playhouse comes from such talent as Mark Mothersbaugh, The Residents, Danny Elfman, Dweezil Zappa, George Clinton, and Todd Rundgren.MORE
