    The original stage production of "The Pee Wee Herman Show" (on which "Pee Wee's Playhouse" was VERY loosely based and also featured a young Phil Hartmann and Edie McClurg) was a comedy classic. HBO recorded it and played it regularly in the '80's. I'm gonna be checking to see if it's available on max tonight.

    "Big Adventure" was so popular in high school, people were showing up in costume and acting out scenes ala "Rocky Horror" at midnight screenings.

    Paul Reubens was an original. You didn't want to get caught up with a guy like him. He was a loner, a rebel.

    RIP, Pee Wee.

    How terribly sad. I enjoyed his work a great deal. At least now Paul is at peace.

    Looks like an old phone app. If you know how to sideload android apps and know where to find the APKs, you can probably play it on your Android phone or Android emulator like Bluestacks. If you don't know what any of that **** means, you're probably out of luck :p

    don't recall the details, but wasn't he arrested on child p*rn possession charges?

    I honestly don't recall the disposition of those charges.

    I remember watching his show but he still popped around 10-15 years acting like an expert on climate change and other sciency goodness. Obviously he made an impression on Sat Morn TV.

    I think Neil deGrasse Tyson took that role recently, who is a better fit.
