Honestly, I didn't realize he was as old as he was. I really wished the Peewee character hadn't been basically banished after the infamous 89 incident, taking 20 years to bring the character back was absolutely tragic. Still I'm glad he got to come back before everything was said and done. He's a legend, he's a childhood memory many people remember fondly. And I think it's absolutely beautiful that even his final act of keeping people from knowing about his situation was just very consistent with who Paul Reubens was.

Paul Reuben was an notorious smoker. He was so devoted to being a role model for kids that he would refuse to ever be photographed in character with a cigarette. He also turned down sponsorships for candy and chocolate bars. Additionally, because of his status as a role model to children is what other creators like Steve Burns used as inspiration for Blue's Clues.

I was a young adult when Pee Wee's Playhouse was on. On Monday mornings, I would go into work and my co-worker, Pat, and I would discuss the latest episode from that Saturday. We both loved the fact that it obviously appealed to kids, but there was also plenty of sub-text and innuendos to give us adults something to enjoy too. We agreed that Miss Yvonne was not only the prettiest woman in Puppetland, but she was also the skuttiest! Giving Ricardo a journal, in which he can record every time he "scores" and Cowboy Curtis returning from a date with Miss Yvonne, with a smile on his face, were priceless!

I watched Pee-Wee’s Playhouse when I was four and I loved it. My parents thought it was strange, but they let me watch it because there was enough educational stuff to balance it out. I was a teenager before I saw Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure, so I always assumed the movie came about because of the success of the TV show, not the other way around. I think that’s why I’m totally cool with my kids watching Blippi when other parents don’t like him. I describe that character as a mix of Mister Rogers and Pee-Wee Herman. I get weird reactions to that, but I grew up with those shows and maybe that explains something about my parenting style 🤷🏼♀️ RIP to Paul Reubens - a true legend.

I remember Reubens in a bit roll in Midnight Madness, a kind of B movie I loved as a kid about teams competing using clues to find locations to find clues to find locations. It’s literally what the TV competition was decades later. I ran my own competitions with my cousins. Reubens was at the arcade customer counter dressed as a cowboy. Spoke one line in his now famous Pee-Wee voice, “Scared ya’, didn’t I?” when dispensing quarters with a plastic pistol. Also, Michael J. Fox was in it in a minor role. It’s weird to think of Reubens and Fox as relative unknowns. In a more recent memory, flipping on HBO and seeing a (then) new Pee-Wee’s Playhouse stage performance was such a pleasant surprise and I tested up at the opening when they had lines of light quickly draw outlines of everything culminating with the stage lights flipping on with the sound of a crow. And randomly, my brother had the pull string doll. And I remember that commercial in a disturbing level of detail considering how young I was. Enough rambling.

When I was growing up I was bullied everyday and had no friends so my friends were Pee Wee Herman and Adam West's Batman as well as Nicholas Hammond's Spider-Man.

Not to sound cliche, but it seemed like the sort of thing a child's imagination would have just invented. Then a few years back, there was a kind of corny commercial selling the dvd's of the entire series and I was proven right, this crazy indescribable show did exist! It's good to hear in detail the stuff that happened in between, I didn't up until recently know Paul Rubens was in Mystery Men, but I do recall seeing him on Murphy Brown (Yall missed that one). Well anyway, about two maybe three months ago I got to thinking, 'whatever happened to that guy', unfortunately I'd find out rather shortly that Cancer took his life.

The brilliance of Pee Wees Playhouse was that Reubens had a show where kids kinda thought they were watching something "Dangerous" and "Out of control" - but at every single second he was making sure it was a safe place to have kids feel that way. Sure, kids were encouraged to yell when a specific word was said but that was just a way to encourage them to feel like they were doing something they weren't supposed to do - in a controlled way and safe environment. It was a balancing act that was absolutely brilliant and I wish we still had shows like that for kids.

The media backlash against Paul Reubens after the whole adult movie theater thing was unfair IMO. I was a teen at the time and while I stopped watching Pee-Wee's Playhouse by then. Were it not for the conservative sensibilities of the time I don't think it would have been blown out of proportion as much as it did. 😟

The worst part about it was it put a stink on Reubens and the character for a good long while. The fact he wouldn't reintroduce the character until 2010 really says a lot. I mean roughly 20 years, geez.

I never knew the show had so much history before Pee-Wee's big adventure. Which is when i was introduced to the character. It's so funny the impact this made. Where in the playground at school kids would declare "I know you are but what am I?". It's only when you look back on something like this you realise how much of an effect it had on your life and you never realised.

There's a certain song that would play at the end of each episode that would trigger a wash of sadness over me because I knew the show was about to end. He would pull the lever making his scooter come out of the wall and I'd just be so bummed that I would have to wait a whole week to see him again.

I still remember seeing the original Pee Wee Herman Show special on HBO in the early 80's when I was a little kid. This was before the movie and the Pee Wee's Playhouse series, and it definitely made an impact. Us kids liked it, but I can still remembering the adults trying to figure out if it was something for kids or for adults. It was safe and fun for kids, but there was this unmistakable sense of playful subversion underneath that made it fun for adults who may have been under the influence of certain green leafy substances. So, when the movie Pee Wee's Big Adventure came out, we were already familiar with the character and loved the movie. It was probably one of the top movies of that year to be loved by kids and stoners at the same time!

In general Pee-wee had that subversive quality that's completely lacking in most children's media and modern cartoons. It was the absolute most brilliant part. The fact he could seamlessly and easily entertain both children and stoners.

That was just how things were back in those times the final stages of the moral panic nonsense leftover from the 80's. Had it happened in like 95 no one would have cared and he could have moved right on. It just happened too close to when the show was still relevant and the whole kids show thing. Once we got out of the Bush era and into the Clinton era stuff like this would have been nothing (or I guess like you said even more nothing) but it was just bad timing. The fact it took 20 years to bring him back though seems like a long time.

When that latent, long dormant memory comes up it really hits. I've had that happen from time to time and it's a surreal experience. It's like when you've grown up and moved past a childish things and then one day you're in a store or somewhere and you see something and it just unlocks something from a long-ago time. And for a moment, just a moment you remember something from a long long time ago. And for just one moment you go back there again.
