Pee-wee’s Playhouse: The Complete Series.
All Remastered in Spectacular High-Definition!
After a very successful test subjection of my children of HBO’s 2011 “Pee-wee Herman Show on Broadway”, I realized that I had a house full of future Paul Reubens fans on my hands. Now, the entire house is enthusiastic about the recent arrival of the “Pee-wee’s Playhouse” on home-video and in HD.
Passionately re-mastered, the Blu-ray by Shout! Factory contains all 45 original episodes from the original 1986-1991 run on CBS as well as a ton of behind the scenes/making of special features and the infamous Christmas special. Have I mentioned yet that they are now in HIGH-DEFINITION!?!?!
Pee-wee’s Playhouse wasn’t just a playground that sparked creativity and imagination in the hearts of millions of viewers, young and old, it was an educational, artistic and entertaining show that taught kids strong ‘life lessons’. It was a series that was ahead of its time with the vision and the creative freedom to experiment with new styles and techniques: combining live-action, puppetry, stop-motion and clay animation. The series was brimming with rich original characters, humor, innovative visual effects and production designs. Pee-wee Herman and Pee-wee’s Playhouse have been a staple in the pop culture zeitgeist ever since.
