'Pee-Wee's Playhouse,' the subversive Saturday morning children's show made famous by actor Paul Reubens, is scheduled to take over late night, according to HollywoodReporter.com.

Adult Swim, Cartoon Network's affiliate aimed at an 18-plus demographic, has purchased the entire run -- 45 episodes in all along with the Christmas special -- where Pee-Wee has a chance to charm anew at his 11 p.m. time slot beginning July 10.

Debuting in 1986, Pee-Wee Herman and his motley crew of characters like Chairy, Cowboy Curtis and Captain Carl, enjoyed success until the CBS show was cancelled in 1991 following Reubens' arrest.

So Pee Wee can go on but not SBTB?
I'll take what I can get - I would watch Pee Wee again.

That is SO what I was thinking! Of course I will probably watch Pee Wee if it is after Family Guy, but I would SO have loved SBTB!

I thought that too, but then I realized that at least Pee Wee showed cartoons, which is more than can be said about SBTB.

Here, now you don't need him on AS.
