Pee-wee’s Playhouse: The Complete Series Blu-ray box set releasing from Shout! Factory on October 21, 2014
Next Tuesday (October 21st) is the Home Video release of the new Pee-wee’s Playhouse: The Complete Series Blu-ray set. Growing up as devout watcher of Saturday Morning kids TV in the 80’s & 90’s, Pee-wee’s Playhouse was the 11:00 hour show that started the close-out of the morning’s weekly entertainment ritual for me.
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.
If like me, you screamed along to the SECRET WORD with Pee-wee Herman and found a connection with Jambi the Genie, Miss Yvonne, Cowboy Curtis, Reba the mail lady, Captain Carl, Magic Screen, Conky, Globey, Chairry, Pterri, Randy and many more, then Pee-wee’s Playhouse: The Complete Series is a MUST HAVE for your home-video collection!
All 45 wacky episodes, plus Pee-wee’s Playhouse Christmas Special, have been METICULOUSLY RE-MASTERED from the original film elements — and now YOU can see this ground-breaking series for the very first time in beautiful HIGH-DEFINITION!
If you can’t wait for next Tuesday, head to PeeweesPlayhouseSneakPeek.com on Saturday morning, October 18th at 10 am ET/7 to get a sneak peek at four episodes, newly remastered and now in brilliant high-definition, plus an exclusive premiere of one of ten brand-new bonus featurettes making their debut on the collection.
