An 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 adult and sexual overtones and jokes including "mirror shoes" and others.

    An interesting look into what would become the kids show. I had some laughs, especially because this is adult oriented, which I didn't expect.
