What a find. Thanks for sharing!

This informercial, giving off these weird Barney-like vibes, likely existed to restore the marketability of the Pee-Wee Herman character to family audiences five years after the controversy of late actor Paul Reubens down in Sarasota had long cooled off. Reruns returned to TV 2 years later when the newly-launched Fox Family cable network picked it up for a run in the late 90s.

Vividly remember seeing this informercial randomly on TV as a kid. The juxtaposition between the colorful weirdness of the Playhouse and the absolute blandness of the new material is incredibly jarring.

Oh, thank you for uploading this informercial! I've been looking for it for a long time.

Gosh, I remember recording this when they aired it on a random Sunday morning in the mid 90s. I ordered two tapes, but they never EVER arrived. I ended up seeing the set at the mall and bought the two tapes that made up Pee Wee's face on the VHS tape spins, and the Christmas special for around $14.99 each.

My mom always hated Pee-wee's playhouse, but me and my dad always loved the show because of how silly and goofy it was, I'm 25 now and I still love the show, glad my dad bought the entire set back in the day
