Family Lifestyle | Pee-Wee’s Playhouse

If you were born in the 80’s, I have no doubt you remember Pee-Wee’s Playhouse! How could we forget that iconic voice and laugh, the crazy characters and the secret word of the day?! I remember listening intently for that word just so I could scream! haha! TV Guide named Pee-Wee’s Playhouse #12 on their list of the Top 30 Cult Television Shows EVER! Now we finally have a chance to share our love with our own lil ones!

Debuting on CBS in 1986, it quickly became a Saturday morning tv staple! Shout Factory has announced the nationwide release of an 8-disc Blu-Ray box set! Available October 21, 2014, 45 wildly entertaining episodes, Pee-Wee’s Playhouse Christmas Special and tons of bonus content filled with interviews from the cast, award winning make-up artists, writers and much more have all been completely remastered in high definition!

I still can’t believe that’s the same Laurence Fishburne as we know now! When I sat Lyric down and told him I wanted to let him watch a show that I used to watch when I was a little girl, he was really excited! I popped in the disc and when the theme song started he got up and danced around! Now, I’m not going to lie, watching this again as an adult I kept thinking to myself, “What the heck is happening?”, “This is trippy!”, “How did I not find this weird?!” and then I look over and Lyric is completely enthralled! He definitely takes after his Mama cause he looooved screaming for the secret word! HAHA!

Head over to Shout Factory to order your complete box set! Don’t forget to tweet me, @amandahayden to let me know what your lil ones thought about it!
