Product description Carefully Maintained. Some tapes never used. Others only used once. Very Clean. Sharp Corners on cases. No Wear or Tears. .com In the mid-1980s, Saturday morning television was turned upside down by the brash arrival of Pee-wee Herman (comedian Paul Reubens) and his dreamlike playhouse. What sets Pee-wee apart from the rest of the Saturday morning pack is his universal appeal to kids, teens, and adults. Kids love the bright cartoony colors, the word of the day (accompanied by screams whenever anyone utters it), and the animated residents of the playhouse; teens find in him a hip icon; and adults savor the sophisticated humor, sunny double-entendres, and Pee-wee's way with kids--he never condescends, teaches valuable lessons, and has fun doing it. This collection of the first 16 episodes includes the first show, in which Pee-wee remodels his playhouse, along with Pee-wee catching a cold, attending a Hawaiian luau, and throwing a party, Miss Yvonne's (Lynne Stewart) temporary stay at the playhouse, and more. Cultural-savvy viewers will recognize the Playhouse characters who went on to later fame: Cowboy Curtis (Oscar nominee Laurence Fishburne), Captain Carl (Saturday Night Live's Phil Hartman), Mail Lady Reba (Law and Order's S. Epatha Merkerson), and in a guest appearance, Jimmy Smits as an all-important TV repairman. Unlike most TV series, this one has aged wonderfully, and Pee-wee's humor and understanding of how to entertain and teach children make this a perennial favorite for kids, parents, and even grown-up Gen-Xers. --Mark Englehart

Forget Barney, Pee Wee Rules!
My little nephew loved Pee Wee. He made sure I had it on every Saturday when I baby sat him. I have children of my own now and bought a couple of VHS for my daughter when she was in Pre-School and she loved it, then my son came along and he is really nuts about Pee Wee, so I went ahead and bought the boxed set. I hope it doesn't wear out soon.I can understand the appeal of Pee Wee's Playhouse. It is bright, funny and very stimulating for young minds.(I don't exactly know its appeal to the older "kids") I also like the fact that Paul Rubens doesn't underestimate the intelligence of his target audience. He can disscuss complicated subjects like the metamorphosis of a butterfly and to funner topics like preparing ours d'eoursves, parfaits and how to throw a great party for your friends. There are also loads of characters that drop in on a regular basis like Miss Yvonne and Cowboy Curtiss (Laurence Fishburne), the late Phil Hartman, King of Cartoons, Penny Cartoon and Reba the mail lady. And there's even a special where the Del Rubio Tripplets sing "These boots were made for walking." My personal favorite. Certainly this is not all about learning your ABC's and 123's, it's about learning how to have fun and letting your creativity guide you.I just hope it comes out on DVD soon. So here's the secret word of the day "Fun" You know what to do when you hear the secret word, right??

VHS is way past its usfulness. I only bought this because the price was so cheap. PeeWee was before his time I wish he would have made more movies. Big adventure one of the best movies ever made..

I needed this to replace a damaged VHS tape in the full Pee Wee set. It's just what I expected.
