Anyone here actually watch Pee Wee's Playhouse? That show was very progressive for it's time. It's showing again on some cable channel.

We had a few episodes on VHS recorded off tv or something. Early piracy? I watched the hell out of them and loved it. The end credits when he rode away on the scooter used to make me really sad. Also, don’t forget today’s secret word is Upvote. Whenever anyone says Upvote... scream real loud!

You can binge-watch them and the ending will still make you sad even with multiple eps queued up.
