A Wee comeback?

I know that I may be in the minority when I say this, but I'm really looking forward to a potential comeback of Pee-Wee Herman. A new version of his show is being billed as “Re-imagined, re-invented, and nuttier than ever.”

The press release says it will include the regular characters Miss Yvonne, Mailman Mike, Cowboy Curtis and Jambi the Genie, as well as
Pee-Wee’s talking chair, Chairry, Pterri the pterodactyl, robot Conky, Magic Screen, Randy, and many more. Many of the show’s original artists, both on stage and behind the scenes are involved, but it will be interesting to see who will play Cowboy Curtis (I doubt Laurence Fishburne will reprise his role), and Captain Carl now that Phil Hartman is no longer with us.

Slashfilm has more.
