  1. “Penny” was made specifically for the show by the British “Claymation” animation team Aardman, now mostly known for their “Wallace & Gromit” and “Shaun the Sheep” series. There’s a really good documentary about them on YouTube (youtu.be/DcMexOinKhQ?si=-6lSX3)

  2. Sadly, this episode would mark the last appearances of Tito the Sexy Lifeguard, Mrs. Steve, Cher, Elvis, Opal, Captain Carl, Door-to-Door Salesman, and Dixie for reasons varying from budgetary to scheduling (Phil Hartman getting cast on SNL) to personal (The lady who played Mrs. Steve was apparently a major buzzkill on set)

  3. “We can’t have a party!”
    “Why not, Randy?”
    “..because you blew the budget on the animation of Pterry flying in through the window!”

  4. Captain Carl is played by the late great Phil Hartman. He and Paul Reubens met while members of The Groundlings and later developed and starred in the stage show version of “Pee Wee’s Playhouse” and “Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure”. Hartman would leave due to his being hired for SNL

  5. Nearly all of the cartoons on “Pee Wee’s Playhouse” (the stage show & the tv show) were public domain so they cost basically nothing to show. The only exception was “Penny” which was made for the tv show by the Aardman team

  8. Captain Carl is played by the late great Phil Hartman. He and Paul Reubens met while members of The Groundlings and later developed and starred in the club show version of “Pee Wee’s Playhouse” and the film “Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure”. Unfortunately, due to being hired by SNL he had to leave the tv show version of “Pee-Wee’s Playhouse” after the first few episodes of the first season. “Restaurant” is the final episode he worked on.

  15. The 10 #Queerest #Moments From #PeeweesPlayhouse

    #PaulRubens, best known for creating the character #PeeweeHerman, #passedaway on Monday leaving behind an #enduring #legacy of #queer #acceptance.

    Everything about the show was unquestionably #gay without ever saying the words out loud. The show has left an imprint on #queer #culture that can’t be overstated.
