What Parents Need to Know
About Pee-wee's Playhouse
Parents need to know that Pee-wee often behaves disagreeably. He is greedy (when friends come over with presents, he tells them to "fork it over!") and often rude to those who visit his playhouse. Some of the show's humor is a bit subversive, but that part will probably go right over most kids' head.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about whether Pee-wee's behavior is suitable. Is he a role model for kids? Should he be? How could kids approach a situation differently, and why shouldn't they emulate his rudeness?

pee-wee is funny and sarcastic, but he has a good heart
pee wee is very unique. that is really all i can say. i used to be really obsessed with it, but now that i am older i have kinda out grown it. and come on people, think about barny and teletubbies, adults wearing stupid stuffed suits and singing lame songs? pee wee is both amusing to adults and kids, and there is never anything innapropriate. no language. no sex. and no violence. there is nothing wrong with this show.

Come back Pee Wee...
This was the greatest Saturday morning kids show of the 80's (and maybe all-time). It's too bad that all the focus ended up on an event that's best forgotten and the show fading away. I'll admit that it's not for most adults - you either love Pee Wee, or you hate him - there is no middle ground. But kids DO love him - even all these years later. A great deal of love went into it and it shows. From the sets to the characters, this was all about imagination and that's what being a kid is about. The fact that an adult saw the world SO much like a child is amazing. Trust me, it's better than most of the Disney and Nick shows...
