I am somewhat surprised but not really how well Pee-Wee's Playhouse holds up

Even back in the eighties the show was really retro which definately helps in keeping it fresh even today. I love the show and think it makes a perfect fit on Adult Swim.

I have heard a LOT of complaining on Toon Zone and AI that the show doesn't fit on CN ESPECIALLY AS as it isn't animated AND was originally made for Saturday morning. I've even heard comparison's with AS's loopy decision to air Saved By the Bell a couple of months ago. But to paraphrase Eric Cartman "So help me God if you EVER compare Pee-Wee to Saved By the Bell again I will kill you where you stand". Pee-Wee was one of the coolest and most creative shows to come out of the eighties period, while Saved was a trashy kidcom on the same wavelength as Small Wonder. Seriously people who compare the two need to be kicked squared in the noots. Also the show has just enough animated bits in my mind to justify it being on CN.

One quibble on AS's decision to air Pee-Wee: they have actually chopped down the theme somg quite a bit. The extended theme was one of the absolute best things about the show back in the day and it kills me that the version AS plays is so choppily editted and short. It reminds me of the short shrift Disney gave the Tale Spin theme on The Disney Afternoon in that not hearing the whole awesome theme is actually kind of painful.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

Couple of comments from mattzimmer. First I'm REALLY glad they counted the first 26 episodes of JLU as one season as that was what I was hoping they would do. But secondly commentaries on only This Little Piggy and The Return? Shaaaaaaame. What about For the Man Who has Everything? Fearful Symmetry? The Doomsday Sanction? Question Authority? Divided We Fall? EPILOGUE?!?!?! I REALLY hope they have a hidden commentary or two because only two on a set this watershed is a dang shame. I hope the musical track includes Kevin Conroy singing the entire piece of Am I Blue? b.t. DID say he was gonna try and work that in as an extra.

I am SO saving up my money for this. I can't wait. I am so glad I won't have to wait for December for this.
