I considered myself a Pee Wee fan aka Paul Reubens. He played that role so good that I couldn't believe there was a man behind that "manchild". And sorry to point this out it was a sad day in my life when Paul Reubens grew his hair out and had facial hair and got caught publicly doing a very adult thing.
This sadly meant no more Pee Wee's Playhouse which I liked to watch on CBS Saturday mornings. Oh I really miss those children programming blocks on network TV Saturday mornings. Damn it progress.
I'm very sorry to know that he died of cancer a few days ago, however, he's made an impact on me as a child and of course as an entertainer he's impacted many. Perhaps it's time to find an episode of his Playhouse program and perhaps watch some of his movies especially Pee Wee's Big Adventure.
