Pee-Wee to air on Adult Swim

Hey you 80's nerds!  According to The Hollywood Reporter, The Adult Swim Network (which we don't get in Canada) is going to start airing all the original 45 episodes of Pee-Wee's Playhouse.

It'll air at 11pm Monday to Thursday, starting July 10th.

Now, look, I didn't grow up with Pee-Wee... He was already a "bad" man by the time I was old enough to care, and I didn't even see any of his stuff until I was much older and by then he was just one of those 80's phenomenon's that my cousins loved.

Like Gobots and Alf.

Now, that being said, the show is a KIDS show... It doesn't need to be on Adult Swim just because the guy was caught in a movie theatre masturbating.  It's been ALMOST MY WHOLE LIFE since this happened, surely the taint has worn off by now.

No?

Well, whatever, I really don't care, i'm not that big of a fan.

Seriously, what was in the water in the '80s?

Well here's the reality:

Well here's the reality: sure, Reubens got caught being an adult in an adult theatre. Yes, sometimes people masturbate in porn theatres.

What's so significant about Pee Wee is that the comedy was originally an HBO series and stand-up act target for ADULTS. The show came after Reubens was offered a bit of cash to adapt the show for younger audiences.

Pee Wee's universe was a brilliant creation. Honestly. The original Pee Wee's Big Adventure film was directed by TIM BURTON, co-written by PHIL HARTMAN (think SNL), and scored by DANNY ELFMAN (Batman, Good Will Hunting, Bettle Juice, etc.). Reubens was even in a Cheech and Chong movie.

His show was viewed by millions of American children -- touting creativity, imagination, and friendship.

He was a very creative, talented actor who got caught doing what a most Americans do when they visit an adult theatre.

Mind the typos. It's late

Mind the typos. It's late here.
