I posted this on a bunch of other places too.
I wouldn't worry it will only be on for about a week or two. They did the same thing with Saved by the Bell.
Why did they even put it on? its not an adult show.....and why did they rate it TV-PG?
Although I'm an outsider on this entire thing, it looks oddly surreal enough to fit with [as]. From the website and the bumps I've seen over t'internet, it looks like they're going for it. Unlike Saved by the Bell, Pee Wee is very fondly remembered at least over in the US...
For the uninitiated: have a promo for the show. (http://dl.asfdotcom.net/download.php?site=asf&fid=000675)
EDIT POINT! Perhaps they put Peewee on to scare away people like the this YouTube person! (http://youtube.com/watch?v=4rCDxChOXLQ&search=adult%20swim)
*Sigh* Put me down please.

Well Toonami's been killed by live action 80s junk. I hope Adult swim doesn't suffer a similar fate. (mind you i'm sorta assuming that Adult swim doesn't have live action at all but you get the idea).

eh.... I don't care. I wish that enough people like me just change the channel for Adult Swim to realize that we don't like this retro-live action BS.
Adult Swim is a channel that's supposed to show animation, but Pee Wee is not a animation. Moved to TV.

Because it's that disturbing: there's a fully grown man walking around talking to a door that has a face. If I saw that when I was 4, I would've gotten nightmares. And I don't mean the Soul Calibur character.
Oh yea forgot to say earlier. Sign me up.
put me on it they took of mission hill for this crap that show was actually decent

Incase you guys didn't notice, Peewee's Playhouse had a LOT of sexual innuendo. That is, they gave many sexual hints and references. Maybe you guys didn't catch it, but start looking into the show deeper. You'll see exactly what I mean.
I thought Peewee's Playhouse was hilarious. My friends and I used to make fun of it all of the time and got a good chuckle out of it. Maybe it was just us, but Adult Swim probably put it up there because of that whole sexual innuendo thing. Aside form that, it IS Adult Swim is it not?

Because internet petitions, ESPECIALLY ones on, for the lack of a better word, exclusive, forums always work.

OH MY GOD! THEY DID REPLACE MISSION HILL!! T_T
I loved that show... :(

It is NOT. Name a sexual joke in there. The underpants one doesnt count because thats just nasty and gross.

Uhh.. it's riddled with subtle adult undertones as far as I can see...
All those people on that list are Megaman fans...
THEY GOT RID OF MISSION FUCKING HILLl!
SIGN ME THE HELL UP!
sorry bout that.

I was going to say "Which speaks to me in VOLUMES" but it is too small a word.
I bring you, The Codex:Idiotica. From the spriting community, to otaku, to people who think Pete Doherty has an Amsterdam hooker's cavernous cuntsworth of talent.
sign me up, but i do want someone to name any sexual references in it.
it just stupid and weird from what i can tell
Uhh... according to my good friend Wikipedia Mission Hill isn't a Williams Street show and that only 13 episodes were ever made, only six of which aired. In 1999. OBVIOUSLY PeeWee's Playhouse had a DIRECT effect on it.
I want to watch this show, it looks like a perfect show to take drugs to. Plus apparantly Aardman made a fair few things for the show, which usually means good things.
AND!

The show was notorious for its campy undertones and double entendre.
As soon as it first aired, Pee-wee's Playhouse fascinated media theorists and commentators, many of whom championed the show as a postmodernist hodgepodge of queer characters and situations which appeared to soar in the face of domineering racist, sexist, and heterosexist presumptions. For example, three of Pee-wee's closest human friends, Cowboy Curtis, Reba the Mail Lady, and the King of Cartoons, were black.
In its entire run, the show won 22 Emmys as well as other awards.
"I'm just trying to illustrate that it's okay to be different—not that it's good, not that it's bad, but that it's all right. I'm trying to tell kids to have a good time and to encourage them to be creative and to question things," Reubens told an interviewer in Rolling Stone.

Once again, Perks (Member B of Team Fucking Right About Everything) has proven the enemies of sense wrong.
Pee-Wee's was one of those chidrens programmes that I always wondered why it was never exported over here. From what I've seen, it's something of a instituton in America. The only bad thing I can really think aout it is that it was most most likely the inspiration to the horrific Lazy Town.
Actually, Pee Wee's is an early childhood show from the 90's. Other way around.:g-ninja:
The inspiration TO Lazy Town, as in Lazt Town was influenced by Pee Wee's.

HORRIFIC! That's the secret word!
*streamers and balloons where this notice is*

They did? When was this? Take note I stopped watching Nick completely for years now excluding when they aired Zim late at night.

Wait, when has Zim played recently? I haven't seen that show in years.
...[sexual innuendo!] (just to stay partially on topic)
It hasn't been on for years. That's my point. The last time I watched Nick was some time in 2005 when the UK Nicktoon channel started showing them for a short while, right next to late repeats of Ren & Stimpy.
I aint got sky anymore so im fortunate in that sense, but i cant stand the bloody peewee!
put me down!

Years, and years, and years ago, like, when we were in primary school.
Incidentally, I thought it was fucking hillarious.
Peopleseem to be getting pretty confused here. Pee Wee is airing on the American Adult Swim, and we've been talking about the British Nick. Get it now?

Remember the intellectual capacity of the people you're talking to!
I think Nick's still showing Invader Zim, but don't quote me on that. Lots and lots of Spongebob, though, which along with Fairly Odd Parents are the reasons I still watch Nick.
On my list of Things To Make Television Worth Watching: make MTV2 Europe do what MTV2 US has done and play lots of cartoons again. Heck, I remember when MTV2 showed Ren and Stimpy every night...

How to make British TV better-
A) END IT.
B) Fucking varied music channels
C) Make MTV2 better
D) Option A
E) Cartoon channels that are not a bag of shit
How to make British TV better-
A) END IT.
D) Option A
You willing to make that sacrifice in spite of awesome shows like Doctor Who?
Granted if your only talking about cartoon and music channels, I'd agree.
For the record, slightly off topic: Nicktoons UK does still show Invader Zim at 9.30pm, after Rocko's Modern Life.
They do here in the U.S. too. Hell they've shown NEW EPISODES here.
New episodes? What? They only made one series of 26 episodes.
And I dont watch them on telly now cause I own the DVDs.
Well, they started making new episodes and have aired them on Nicktoons tv. It even said so in a commercial I watched ON the station.
ahem! back to talking about pee wee of the damned.
GG Hendrix
18-07-06, 08:16
No. Rephrase that with better grammar, and we'll consider it.
Jace- I think you're a little bit confused. They're just airing the episodes that never made it onto the air.
There will never be more episodes of Invader Zim because
A) The Machine dont want us to watch good shit
B) Jhonen hates his fanbase because at least 80% of it is comprised of Fucking Cunts.
And- Anyone who doesn't have the Invader Zim DVD's needs to go and get them.

I have all three, and the house box with the extras disc.
All 26 episodes have aired in the UK, I presume they didn't show them all in the US then. That extras disc has the audio of some episodes they almost started for series 2, which got cancelled before they could animate any of it.

I couldn't think of a good enough way of expressing my mixed emotions of
- Frenzied apathy
- Calm rage
- Happiness for you
- Extreme jealousy
So instead I'll just say "Aceness, you fucking fuck!"
If you think people here are being childish about PeeWee, then go have a look around [as]'s forums, where it's just full of whinging tossers who can't spell and think using 18pt Comic Sans is a good idea for all thier posts...
i have the first 2 volumes of zim(I'm very poor and could barely afford them)
at afew websites (roomwithamoose, badbadrubberpiggy) you can read scripts of cancelled episodes
