pee wee's playhouse



it's back for the summer on cartoon network. i'm tivo'ing all the episodes and the kids are watching it as i type this. i forgot how much i love this show.

the summer between my freshman and sophomore year in high school, i was a nanny for two little boys down the street. they loved it and we watched it over and over (and over) again that summer. i used to be able to sing the theme song by heart and i knew all the characters. watching it again, almost 20 years later (yikes) is like watching it for the first time again. i forgot about cowboy curtis and conky and randy. i love this show.

the word of the day is little.

My brother and I used to watch Pee Wee all the time. I was so psyched to see that it's coming back. And even more psyched that I'm not alone in my love of Pee Wee. I'd rather Finley watch his show then the Barney or Boobah or any of that other crap that they try and pass for kids' programs!
