Come join Pee-wee, Miss Yvonne, Cowboy Curtis, Jambi, Chairry and all your favorites, live on stage.

didnt he get busted for some pedo shit?

8/11/2009 12:36:10 AM

no. he jerked off in a porn theater.

8/11/2009 12:36:47 AM

i knew it was some gay shit like that. i used to watch the shit out of him when i was a kid, but with the way kids are groing up these days, i dont think the show will do good

8/11/2009 12:38:55 AM

technically pee wees been back for like 2 years. he announced forever ago that he'd reprise the role

8/11/2009 12:44:13 AM

yeah, I'm pretty sure they have been filming a new Pee-Wee movie

8/11/2009 12:46:59 AM

guess the money's gone - I'm actually impressed he's gone this long without heading back to that well

he's doing his stage show which is not for kids.

8/11/2009 12:59:16 AM

i think it was hilarious that he was what he was in Blow

8/11/2009 1:04:01 AM

He was really good in that movie.

Yeh, I heard about that on the radio about 5 years ago. He is a registered sex offender in California now after they found a few photos on his computer. I also heard he had over 50,000 pornographic photos on his computer.

8/11/2009 2:24:58 AM

his stage show is fucking brilliant.

8/11/2009 3:31:43 AM

^^ I'd be interested in seeing the proof on that. Only thing he was ever convicted of was jerking off in a porn theater. That doesn't make him a pedo

8/11/2009 4:34:36 AM

I would totally go see this.

8/11/2009 6:24:33 AM

Is Lawrence Fishburne going to reprise the roll of Cowboy Curtis on stage too?

8/11/2009 6:26:43 AM

He was arrested in 02 or 03 on child pornography charges. Apparently he is a collector of erotic art and some of it had naked teenagers in it.

""Personally, I think we're living in a very scary time. Do we let the legal system decide in a courtroom what's obscene and what's not obscene?(...) One thing I want to make very, very clear, I don't want anyone for one second to think that I am titillated by images of children. It's not me. You can say lots of things about me. And you might. The public may think I'm weird. They may think I'm crazy or anything that anyone wants to think about me. That's all fine. As long as one of the things you're not thinking about me is that I'm a pedophile. Because that's not true.""

He plea bargained to possession of obscene images of minors (although he insists none are performing sexual acts) and had to register as a sex offender for 3 years.

8/11/2009 8:39:11 AM

I THOUGHT HE GOT IN TROUBLE FOR JERKIN THE GERKIN IN A PORNO THEATER?

AND THEN RIDING HIS BIKE NAKED THROUGH CENTRAL PARK?

8/11/2009 8:40:44 AM

I think this guy should just let it go. He doesn't have much of an audience with his show anymore.

8/11/2009 10:32:10 AM

creepy shit

you know who is excited for the Pee Wee's Playhouse movie???

THIS GUY:

8/11/2009 2:25:14 PM

Charged does not equal convicted. When will people learn this?

The cops can charge you with something just because you look at them the wrong way, and they often they do.

8/11/2009 2:33:43 PM

^I remember hearing that he was convicted because like someone else said, he is/was a registered sex offender.

Pee Wee Herman is a badass motherfucker.

what fucked him up back in the 80s or 90s was The Mugshot.

because everyone knew pee wee herman as the clean-cut, nerdy-looking, children's show host.... but then he turns up out of the blue getting busted for jerking in a porn theater, and his mugshot shows a long haired, goateed Charles Manson looking motherfucker.



so immediately all the sponsors of his TV show bailed, and that was the end of Pee Wee's Playhouse.

y'all forget (or maybe never knew) that the late 80's and early 90's Americans were a bunch of Victorian moralists with clenched assholes.

i mean, like even moreso than now.

"Even so, last month the child pornography charges were dropped. Reubens agreed to plead guilty to possessing obscene images of minors. The plea is not without penalty. For the next three years, Reubens must register his address with the sheriff's office and he cannot be in the company of minors without their parents' permission."

From 2004, so he came off the list in '07.

I love Pee-Wee's playhouse as a kid, and I bought the DVDs a few years ago. Shit is trippy... and incredible. I'd like to see what the remastered, non-cut versions look like. As explained in the article, what made it to tv was often transferred up to 6 times, so a lot of the quality was lost.

10/30/2014 2:59:09 PM

Holy shit.

I don't even know what to make of this, haha.
