    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Yeah, I read it a couple of days ago somewhere. It will be on Adult Swim, as previously mentioned.

    Easily one of the most creative kid shows. Shame it went the way it did. Reubens may be a head job but he is very talented.

    First time my son saw the show he was walking (he was about 4 or 5)through the room with the TV and I filclked it on. He stopped and stared at the screen for the next 1/2 hour and never moved. I loved the Penny claymations.

    Pee-Wee is bust a gut funny at ANY age...

    I just recently watched a friend's collection of Pee Wee's Playhouse, and they are absolutely insane

    In one episode, Pee Wee just runs though the house with these goggles on simulating some sort of acid trip -- screaming, freaking out. It's effin' hilarious, but if you asked me to explain why -- I couldn't. Just has to be seen to be believed. Extremely subtle and in no way subtle all in one stroke.
    Big Advenure.. another classic.

    I say "welcome back" and he'll fit in to Adult Swim quite nicely.

    After browsing through my history, here's the story I read in the Chicago Tribune:

    Adult Swim Reopens 'Pee-wee's Playhouse'
    Show will join AS lineup in July

    Zap2It.com
    Published June 5, 2006

    Adult Swim is bringing another show populated by flesh-and-blood actors to its late-night world, but this one fits a little better into the cartoon landscape.

    Starting Monday, July 10, "Pee-wee's Playhouse" will join the Adult Swim weeknight lineup. Cartoon Network's late-night alter ego plans to air all 45 episodes of the half-hour series, plus a 1988 Christmas special that has rarely seen the light of day since its initial airing.

    "We're all huge fans of 'Pee-wee's Playhouse,' and we're really happy that it will be a part of Adult Swim," says Mike Lazzo, who oversees Adult Swim for Cartoon Network.

    Paul Reubens, who created Pee-wee as a member of the L.A. comedy troupe the Groundlings in the late 1970s, pronounces himself delighted to be part of Adult Swim: I'd say this was a dream come true, but I never dared to dream the 'Playhouse' would join Adult Swim's amazing lineup of cool shows!" he says. "Well, maybe I did dream of it a couple of times. OK, it's a dream come true!"

    "Pee-wee's Playhouse" as part of CBS' Saturday-morning lineup in 1986 and ran off and on for five years. The candy-colored show featured animation and sketch comedy aimed at kids; Phil Hartman, Laurence Fishburne and "Law & Order" star S. Epatha Merkerson all played recurring characters.

    The show ended after Reubens' 1991 arrest for indecent exposure at an adult theater in Sarasota, Fla. Since then, Reubens has appeared in such movies as "Blow" and "Mystery Men," made a number of TV guest appearances (notably "Murphy Brown") and has done extensive voiceover work. Later this year he'll appear in "Reno 911!: Miami," a movie based on the Comedy Central show.

    "Pee-wee's Playhouse" is the second live-action show Adult Swim has added to its lineup recently. A two-week run of "Saved by the Bell" earlier this year met with widespread derision among the channel's devotees.

    If nothing else, Samuel L. Jackson got his start on that show.

    Actually, it was Laurence (sp?) Fishbourne:)

    Pretty sure it is Sam L. Jackson. Lawrence Fishbourne was already an established actor when the series was running. He was Mr. Clean in Apocalypse Now, 1978 I think.
