Re-watching Pee Wee now I definitely like it more then when I was a kid. And my 4 year old as well. I was sort of at a transitional teenage period when Pee Wee had his show so I think maybe I disliked it due to a perception of childishness. But the art and design of it is very fun and it definitely pushed boundaries.
I recall both Sharon, Lois, & Bram (I used to see Bram at the Toronto Film Festival all the time) and Today’s Special. I was a little old for both of those. I had a real problem with that kind of singing kids show. If we’re talking Canadian kids shows I much preferred the older TVO shows from the late 70’s to Today’s Special. And Mr. Dressup, Friendly Giant and Hilarious House of Frightenstein.
