Globey's spinnin' and Mr. Window's grinnin' cause all forty-five episodes of the kids-and-critics fave Pee-Wee's Playhouse, including six "lost" installments, are headed for DVD this November through Image Entertainment! The shows will be split over two box sets, with another separate release for Pee-Wee's Playhouse Christmas Special. The award-winning series, which ran on CBS from 1986 to 1991, was a staple of Saturday morning TV for both children and adults. "I am extremely pleased that 'Pee-Wee's Playhouse' will be available on DVD," said Paul Reubens, star and creator of the series. "The digital medium affords the shows a look that was not possible when they were originally broadcast or made available on VHS in the 1980s and '90s."
Image, with the full cooperation and participation of creator and star Paul Reubens, also plans to release in 2005 a definitive, specially packaged limited edition containing all 45 episodes with commentary by Paul Reubens and additional bonus material culled from Reubens' vast show archives.
