Do You Remember Pee Wee's Playhouse?

Looking Back on the Playhouse

Pee Wee Herman had his hay days throughout the '80s while starring in movies, live shows, and Saturday morning kid's programming. Paul Reubens played a child-like adult who attempted to provide educational, yet entertaining experiences for younger viewers with the show Pee Wee's Playhouse. If you were too old for that show, you may have still seen his similarly named show that aired on HBO that had a bit more adult humor. The two shows shared some of the same characters like Clocky, Pterri the Pterodactyl, and Jambi the Genie. Anyone who watched the children's show, which included a fair amount of adults, may remember things like screaming over the secret word of the day, the phrase "Mika lika hi-mika hieny-ho!" or Cowboy Curtis (played by a young Lawrence Fishburne). All in all, it's popularity allowed the show to run from 1986 to 1991, albeit the last year was reruns. 

Let's Talk about Chairry...

One of the things that stick out in my mind about the show is the blueish-green living chair named Chairry. She was always offputting to me and, as a child, I never really understood why. Now that I look back, a talking chair with a giant set of eyes and mouth who occasionally used her armrests to hug people who sat down on her is absolute nightmare fuel. Just look at the picture above to see how creepy that would be to have a recliner in your house that looked like that. In all honesty, I can't really think of any piece of furniture or appliance that would be fun to have around if it was sentient and could move. Just imagine if you managed to make it angry... next thing you know, its got you by the waist and is opening that huge mouth to devour you. Luckily in the show, Chairry was a very cheerful seat that just wanted to be nice. Still, that's just a huge nope from me.
