Pee-wee Herman (comedian Paul Reubens) and his clever fantasy land playhouse has universal appeal to kids, teens, and adults. Kids love the bright cartoony colors, the word of the day (you scream whenever anyone says it), and the animated residents of the playhouse; teens find him very cool and they enjoy the sassy behavior; and adults enjoy the sophisticated humor, sunny double-entendres, and Pee-wee's way with kids. Every episode teaches valuable lessons, and Pee-wee clearly has fun doing it. This boxed set is the first 16 episodes: Pee-wee catches a cold, throws a Hawaiian luau, and don’t forget Miss Yvonne's (Lynne Stewart) temporary stay at the playhouse... you’ll recognize the Playhouse characters who went on to later fame: Cowboy Curtis (Oscar nominee Laurence Fishburne with a Jheri Curl Mullet), Captain Carl (Saturday Night Live's Phil Hartman), Mail Lady Reba (Law and Order's S. Epatha Merkerson), and Jimmy Smits as a hottie TV repairman. These episodes are just as funny today as they were in the mid 1980’s. Mecca lecca hi, mecca hiney ho...Read full review

Pee Wee's playhouse was a great show, I used to watch it as a kid. Now my kids love to watch it, and its something that I can also sit down and enjoy, unlike the annoying kid shows that are on t.v. now. Volume 1 has episodes 1 through 23, with all the great characters that I remember like Miss Yvone, Reba the Mail Lady, Cowboy Curtis, and so on. What a great show! We love Pee Wee!! (and we bought Volume 2 as well!)
This set of DVDs, for some reason is not available in my area. Knowing that my daughter “LOVED” Pee-Wee’s Playhouse growing up, I thought it would make a nice holiday gift for her. It sure did, her younger brother really liked them too. The DVD collection was packaged nicely and delivered in a very timely fashion. The product was in excellent condition and I must say I even laughed out loud a few times watching with my kids. This was & it a GREAT product for the price. My kids and I are very happy with this purchase!
