Los Angeles audience doesn’t mind that material mostly recycled
LOS ANGELES - A funny thing happened to Paul Reubens on the way to his twilight years: He rediscovered the child within.
After an absence of almost two decades, the actor is re-creating his inspired comic creation, the silly but sly-like-a-fox Pee-Wee Herman, a moppet diva trapped in a man's body. The mid-1980s Saturday-morning show "Pee-Wee's Playhouse" and two feature films were as much adult guilty-pleasure fare as they were kid-friendly. That remains the case, as evidenced by the ages of fans who flocked to L.A. Live's Club Nokia on opening night.
It didn't matter that the material mostly is recycled, culled from Reubens' early-1980s stage show and TV series. The crowd was ready to hoot and holler with unbridled glee at the goofy visual and verbal gags, sometimes a few seconds before they arrived.

I wouldn't want this guy around my children--did'nt he go to jail several years ago for public lewd behavior ? I found the Pee-Wee act annoying even before that incident.
arrested for child pornography-sicko
He was not arrested for child pornography. He was arrested for public lewd behavior in an ADULT movie theater watching adult movies.
glad to see him back
Way to go Paul, glad you're back.
I loved PeeWee's playhouse!
Pee Wee's Playhouse was a brilliant piece of television.
Might as well.... Americans forgot that Whacko Michael Jackson was a pervert and honored him after his death.
I know you are but what am I?
I meant to do that.
That guy looks a lot like JR.
