This DVD features 23 episodes from Season 1 and 2 of Pee-Wee’s Playhouse.  The episodes are split onto four DVDs.  The show started back in 1986 and it features classic 80s fun.  I loved Pee Wee and love that I can now share it with own kids.  I remember watching the show when I was a kid and laughing hysterically. Well the show still makes me laugh and now my kids as well.

I hadn’t seen the show in 20 years and had forgotten what went on in the episodes.  Its a show that I’d say is appropriate for kids, it is actually educational if you think about it!  They do a word of the day, they mention things like “left” and “down” and there are lessons of friendship, problem solving and more. There is so much packed into the episodes too that it is constantly going from one thing to another.  I put this on thinking my kids wouldn’t get it or like it but they asked for more episodes!  I love the characters and silliness of the show.
