I rewatched the commentary of the Christmas Special. Turns out I misunderstood what he said. Paul Rubens said it was the fourth season premiere. And that season three was cut short due to a writer's strike.

For those who haven't seen episode #45. "Playhouse for Sale", this post contains spoilers. But at this point, I don't think many people care if I give away the ending, lol.

********************************************************
The whole final episode has Miss Yvonne at the Playhouse, with Pee-wee gone. She finds a sign in the window that says "For Sale." Naturally, she panics thinking Pee-wee is selling the Playhouse. this results in a series of flashbacks. In the final scene of the episode, Pee-wee returns to the Playhouse. Miss Yvonne confronts him. He asks where the other part of the sign went. Turns out the sign said "Lemonade For Sale" but the Lemonade part fell off. He stated that he would NEVER sell the Playhouse. THE END

It's a pretty lame final episode. Besides the flashbacks, Pee-wee and Miss Yvonne are the only live action characters in the episode. There's not even a cartoon from The King of Cartoons.

I don't know why there were only two episodes in the show's third season, but the real answer was that it may have been that way due to the 1988 Writer's Guild of America Strike.

Does anybody remember Pee-wee Play House airing on ABC Family I think at 6:30 am Central Time.

howierules86 · 03-13-2008, 06:31 AM

Actually, it was at 6:00 AM, and this is when the channel was known as Fox Family (ABC Family didn't come until Nov. 2001). Oh, and count me in as another boardie who was a fan of "Pee-Wee's Playhouse" growing up for sure.

Scoobiedoo30 · 03-15-2008, 02:19 AM

I remember this show. I remember; the first one was a special on HBO. We didn't have cable then; but at the time I was staying in a motel that had free HBO. Then I rember about a year later, a local station, and later, PBS reran the show. Then when "PEE WEES PLAYHOUSE" started, I used to record it (on a VCR of course. This was the 80s!!!

)

Pee-wee Herman writes: "I'm sad to report that Gilbert Lewis passed away recently. Gilbert is the actor who played the King of Cartoons in the first season of Pee-wee's Playhouse, back in 1986 when it was filmed in New York City. His part was recast because of expense when we moved the production to California."

To this day, "P-w's P" still is fresh and full of life. It never tires. This show had great writing and actors. It was bright and cheery and just plain fun!

I own the new Blu-ray set and I absolutely love it. The HD picture is outstanding.

Yeah that's Lawrence Fishburne as Cowboy Curtis back before he was well known and still going by Larry Fishburne. I've heard that since he's become a big movie star he refuses to talk about being on the show and apparently won't even list it in his TV/movie credits. And talk show hosts are forbidden to ask him about it, but who knows. Maybe he's embarrassed, as he should be. I guess I'm the only who's seen it and who's definitely not a fan. I was in my late teens when the show ran originally and I would watch an episode here and there and I always thought it was stupid and unfunny. I also always thought Pee Wee Herman seemed kind of pervy (and to a lesser extent the show as a whole, I just got this yucky vibe from it), and since we all know what he was infamously arrested for obviously I was right. One of the worst "children" shows ever.

A 24-hour Pee-wee's Playhouse marathon aired on IFC on Thanksgiving Day. And starting on November 24, IFC will air Pee-wee's Playhouse every Saturday morning.

I first heard about this on this entry on the Sitcoms Online Blog.
