First time I watched PeeWee’s Playhouse was from reruns that were playing on Adult Swim back in the 2000’s. I was so confused as to what I was watching.
Same. I never watched it as a kid, so thought it was a parody. It took a moment to realize it wasn't.
I watched it all the time as a kid.
It started as a parody. Ever notice the intro is two-and-a-half minutes long, likely the longest in TV history?
But it took off so strongly that it wound up becoming a straight-up children's show.
That does not happen often.
Rest in peace, Mr. Reubens.
