Time to break out the giant underpants because I finally was able to watch an episode of PeeWee's Playhouse on Cartoon Network. The show started airing in July, but I was never able to catch it until last night. I needed a study break and suddenly there was PeeWee. I haven't watched an episode of PeeWee's playhouse and I forgot how fantastic the show was. I love the use of claymation for the "special effects" like Pee-Wee in space. I think it made it much more interesting that CGI graphics. And I can't ignore the use a claymation for Penny and the Dinosaurs. I love the Penny cartoons. I still thought the show was hilarious, even as an adult. I think that is a mark of a good kid's show, that adult can watch it and enjoy it (which I don't think is true with some kid's shows today, I want to deafen myself every time I see a little bit of Dora the Explorer.) And PeeWee's Playhouse had a really good cast, I mean Phil Hartman, Laurence Fishburne, and S. Epatha Merkerson were all on that show. I highly recommend watching PeeWee's playhouse or PeeWee's Big Adventure.
"They're not jokes, Bill, they're painful lessons. I thank my father every day for all the tricks he played on me. He taught me the most wonderful lesson a child can learn: Never trust nobody. That's how I know Bob Dole's faking that dead arm." - Dale Gribble
Bonus Quotes:
JOSEPH: Dad, can me and Bobby bring life preservers?
DALE: If you want to be sissies.
JOSEPH (to Bobby): He said yes!
BILL: Who wants a dollar? Say me.
BOBBY: Me!!
