the debate
I'm debating whether or not Pee Wee's Playhouse is worth watching sober. I'm leaning towards no. Adult Swim, in their crazyass technique of rereleasing abandonware TV shows, decided to start showing it starting last Monday. Me Mir and Razz watched the first four episodes completely stoned and I honestly felt a full body high, not something you'd typically get on grass, and similar to the sensation shrooms gives you. I lost my mind and screamed continuously at the television when I saw Pee Wee open his freezer, where twin popsicles and other such freezer items skated around on a frozen pond. I honestly don't know how the fuck the show was intended for kids. It probably really wasn't. If I were a parent I wouldn't just threaten to beat my kid's asses if they watched the show, I would probably try to assassinate Paul Ruebens.
Adult Swim also put the first aired episode first for one reason:
Yes. That's Morpheus. Laurence Fishburne's early career involved working on Pee Wee's Playhouse as "Cowboy Curtis". The episode involved him swinging an imaginary cartoon lasso around an imaginary cartoon animal, and asking Pee Wee in a country accent, "Can we get some horses Pee Wee?"
Other people who had roles in Pee Wee's Playhouse: Phil Hartman, Wanda Sykes, and that one chick from American Pie 2 who didn't have a big role.
Check out Pee Wee's Playhouse on Adult Swim, Mon-Thurs @ 11PM, but make sure you're fucked up when you watch it, it'll be a lot funnier that way.
Wish? Did somebody say wish?

Todays secret word is: WEED.
Okay, so I will admit that pee wees play house isnt that cool when you are sober....but man its a sweet way to trip out and lose your mind during a tv show. I didnt even stay up last night to see it, not that it would have done any good because our power went out. I can believe I watched that stuff as a kid. It makes me want to ask my dad what he was thinking. I definatly remembered parts of the show.
BUT at any rate, out of boredom, I wanted to see if that was really Wanda Sykes on that episode we saw.
It isnt.
Not that I can remember who we thought was her in the first place.
I heart IMDB: check out the cast list.....

Its crazy that Phil Hartman was one of the writers for Pee Wee's, but I guess you gotta start somewhere. Lets get high and make a kids tv show?
Also next is Sykes filmography (or whatever its called?):
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0843100/
yeah i knew it wasn't wanda sykes before i wrote it; i checked the imdb before too, but i put her there anyways because she really really looked farmiliar... i also thought she could've been the wife of the black dude from terminator 2. upon further inspection it turns out i was right, it's s. apatha merkerson, i just looked at the wrong character from T2 (the dude's daughter instead of his wife) and pee wee's playhouse didn't show up on her accreditations
Really amazing! Useful information. All the best.
