I Am A Whore For That Sweet, Sweet Adult Swim Crack

Dear Adult Swim,

I hated you when you put on Saved By The Bell. Not because it was not a cartoon. I'm fine with that within the confines of Adult Swim. But it showed such short sighted pop culturism, as opposed to the long-term gold which you usually mine, that I was disgusted. Then you did this. I love you again. Fucking well done.

Network to Rerun 'Pee-Wee's Playhouse'


LOS ANGELES - After being shuttered for more than 15 years, the doors to "Pee-wee's Playhouse" are being reopened. The Emmy Award-winning show will get new life on the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim lineup, which will air all 45 original episodes beginning July 10, company officials announced Monday.

"I'd say this is a dream come true," actor Paul Reubens said in a statement.

Reubens, 53, created the bow-tie wearing character in 1978 as a member of the L.A.-based comedy troupe, the Groundlings. Known for his big laugh and small suit, Pee-wee gained worldwide fame in 1985 as the star of his own movie, "Pee-wee's Big Adventure," directed by Tim Burton.

The film's success led to "Pee-wee's Playhouse," which originally aired Saturday mornings on CBS beginning in 1986.

In 1991, a year after production wrapped on the final season of "Playhouse," Reubens was arrested in Florida for indecent exposure.

Reubens returned to the big screen with an acclaimed performance in 2001's "Blow."

Meeee too. Yeah, I think they cycled it out for Oblongs. I'll be back. The show I really liked from that "Squigglevision" family was Science Court that aired on Saturday Mornings for a bit. So snarky.
