Thank you for the historical perspective, with which I was already familiar.
I'll judge his future work if and when I decide to watch it.

But would you let primary school aged kids watch it if you had some?
I think he should’ve stayed on his “comeback” trajectory of roles in movies for adults.
Pee Wee’s been played out (20+ years on the joke).

Sorry, I still think of the guy as a childhood icon not the pervert he’s become. If he wants to do Pee Wee’s playhouse, then so be it.
Incidentally, and please fact check this for me if possible, I don’t think he had kids on his show back in the day. Most of the guests were adults or animatronic furniture.
Lord knows who’s wearing that damn Barney costume, the guy from Blue’s Clues offed himself a while back, the girl from the Big Couch show is... questionable, and don’t get me started on clowns... just... don’t get me started on them.

Doesn't the author know that the show has been back on since January?

But Big Media is ready to market Paul to kids again, in spite of being a convicted sex offender several times; once involving minors.
SOMEBODY has to fill Michael Jackson's shoes... might as well be Pee Wee.

I don’t care if PeeWee once upon a time took matters into his own hands, and I don’t care if he took pictures or had pictures of some 17 year old boy....Hollywood does that type of thing in movies over and over and we watch it....girls, boys, whatever...it’s in the movies....PeeWee was funny....I can’t write the word but without remembering his line “everybody has a big but”....and I wanted that octopus lawn waterer he had in his yard at PeeWee’s house. We get ‘yanked’ by our government everyday...at least PeeWee’s crimes only primarily affected him...if Vick can make a comeback and make millions after the horrible things he did to those poor dogs....and if we can elect known criminals and communists to our highest leaderships, I think PeeWee could be given a little forgiveness...at least he makes people laugh...not cry.

I forgot...last night I was watching “How I Met Your Mother” and they were doing that Naked Man show....and, if that didn’t come across as porn stuff I don’t know what is...I don’t recall seeing PeeWee in front of a camera naked except for one small item covering his...well, his you get the picture. I was SHOCKED, I say, SHOCKED...at the nakedness on that TV show. Give me PeeWee any day.

I heard Dr. Daystrom was a smash in the 23rd century stage revival of “Blacula” after his release from the Federation Funny Farm.

LMAO, and I'll bet the M5 multitronic computer had a fine second career as an organ for Daystrom's little monkey!

That was back in the days when most college kids could not afford a VCR. What is this "VCR" thing of which you speak?

I would love it, just love it, if there was some Town Hall meeting for the False Messiah, we get some faker in a wheelchair (like you see in those travelling religious revival shows), roll him up on the stage, and as soon as Zero comes over to him to shake hands, the guy starts to twitch and shake violently, and then he magically rises from his chair and exclaims...
“MEIN FUHRER ! I CAN WALK !”

Paul Reubens as Prince Gerhardt, last of the Hapsburgs, on "30 Rock." (It was very funny. Unfortunately, no videoclips at NBC or anywhere else.)

OMG - ROTFLMAO
I tell you herr fieldmarshaldj, I very seldom use that 'rotflmao' acronym but THAT idea of yours is deserving of it!
And of course the ringer in the wheelchair would HAVE to perform a few Sellers-inspired chewings of his gloves, choking his own neck, et al, just for effect (and to pay tribute to Sellers naturally lol), holy smokes I would pay substantial cash money if I could somehow engineer THAT spectacle!
I take my hat off to your diabolical genius. :)

I still pine for the good ole days with Lee Atwater... we’ve forgotten the fine art of really screwing with the rodents. ;-)

Lee Atwater saved America from Dukakis, despite the shortcomings of GHWB as a candidate, and he was truly a Klingon when it came to politics, 'taking no prisoners'.
Ed Rollins said of Atwater: "He is ruthless, Ollie North in civilian clothes"
That is high praise and had Atwater lived he would have single handedly sent the Grifters back to Arkansas, and if that abominable puff adder 0bama had ever reared his ugly head, Atwater would not only have metaphorically stomped the living sh*t out of him, he would have had the Usurper fleeing to his native Kenya to live out the rest of his days whining about 'racism'.
Yeah, losing Atwater was like finding out that Little Boy was a dud and Hiroshima escaping unscathed.

Of course, had Dukakis won, the GOP probably would’ve won, or came close to winning Congress by 1990 (and guaranteed he would’ve been a one-termer). Had Atwater lived and been around for ‘92, yes, he probably would’ve whipped the Bush, Sr. ticket into shape and beaten Bubba. That’s the good news. The bad news is that the GOP would never have won Congress in ‘94, and instead, it probably would’ve been a complete 6-year collapse of the party (leaving us at or below the numbers we currently have, high 30s in the Senate and 150-160 range in the House). ‘96, even with Atwater, might’ve likely seen a Dem win (a la ‘08), quite possibly Bubba or Mario Cuomo (who would not have lost in ‘94) or some other unnamed Governor defeating Vice-President Quayle.
Always the upsides and downsides. I don’t think the nation would’ve necessarily gone for a 5th consecutive same-party victory (the last time that happened was in 1932-48 for the Dems, and before that for the GOP, seven times in a row, from 1860-84, albeit probably hoisting the ‘76 one from Tilden, in which case, we’d have never had more than 4 victories in a row).
