The Pee-wee Herman Show

Cinematic storytelling powered by Moviepedia.

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.
