doll: Talking Pee-Wee Herman

In 1986, Paul Reubens introduced a new brand of Saturday morning programming with ����_�Pee-Wee����_��s Playhouse.����_�_ The show followed host Pee-wee Herman as he played in a funhouse filled with toys, gadgets, talking furniture and appliances, puppets, and a genie. The show flaunted materialism, hypocrisy, over-the-top hairstyles, and oddities that proved an instant hit. ����_�Pee-Wee����_��s Playhouse����_�_ provided a twist on the vision of the Eisenhower-era that Reubens grew-up in and appealed to Americans in the thick of the Reagan era.
