About The Pee-wee Herman Show
The original adult-oriented version of what would eventually become an award-winning children's classic. This version of the show features Pee-wee's playhouse and many of the characters of the later series, but with irreverent overtones and jokes including 'mirror shoes' and others.
Directed by Marty Callner, Paul Reubens, The Pee-wee Herman Show leans on a strong ensemble — Paul Reubens, Phil Hartman, Lynne Marie Stewart — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1981.
