Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFor this first episode of the second season, the production shifted from New York to Hollywood Center Studios in California and a new, expanded set was built which led to this "redecorating" theme. Almost certainly the change in production location was the cause of many non-puppet cast changes as many were likely unwilling to relocate. Gilbert Lewis was replaced by William Marshall as King of Cartoons and the role of Dixie (portrayed by Johann Carlo) was discontinued. The character Captain Carl was also discontinued; Phil Hartman had been hired by Saturday Night Live (1975) about the same time as he started with the production of this series. Shirley Stoler's role as Mrs. Steve was replaced by Suzanne Kent's Mrs. Rene and Roland Rodriguez's role as Tito was replaced by Vic Trevino's Ricardo (introduced as "the greatest athlete who ever lived"), who often speaks his lines in Spanish and English to help Pee-wee learn Spanish. The 'Playhouse Gang' (usually three children known as Opal, Elvis and Cher) no longer appear, and new friends of the playhouse include Clockey, Floory, and Pee-wee's ventriloquist dummy Billy Baloney.

[Winks]
- Crazy creditsThe opening sequence starts as usual, but when Pee-wee walks inside, everything is messy and covered up. After the first line of the song, the music winds down, and Pee-wee looks confused, then he turns to the viewer and says, "Oh! I totally forgot! We're redecorating the Playhouse!"
- Alternate versionsThe scene showing Pee-wee and Miss Yvonne making sun tea was cut from the 1996 VHS releases and TV airings on Fox Family.
