If I'm not mistaken, the original Pee Wee's playhouse was never meant as a kids show anyway. It somehow got turned into that (I know I watched it as a kid) and then the world freaked out when he was caught in an adult theater.


Well, pretty close at any rate. The CBS Saturday morning version was certainly intended to be a kids' show, or it never would have been put in that time slot to begin with. But that was based off Pee Wee's Playhouse on HBO, which was very much targeted to adults.


Yeah, I was referring to the HBO version. I didn't even know that one existed until the incident at the adult theater. I remember a lot of people saying something like "What did you expect? This is the guy that did the HBO PeeWee's playhouse. It wasn't exactly a kids show!" Everyone else was totally oblivious and only knew about the kids show.
