Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Peewee’s playhouse was ahead of its time. Wholesome, wacky, and inclusive. I recently watched one of the playhouse specials over the holidays and it was just as good as I remembered it being as a kid.
Conservatives had it out for him and really prevented a quality content creator from bringing joy and entertainment to a lot of families.
If you have kids I suggest watching a few episodes as a family.
Laurence Fishburne was Cowboy Curtis.
“Take the blue pill, you wake up, as if this was all a dream. Take the red pill and you see how deep the playhouse goes.”
And Phil Hartman was Captain Carl. Hartman and Reubens were in The Groundlings together.
TIL rob zombie was a production assistant on the show.
That... makes sense.
Really that's dope!
Similar oddity like that- Michael Keaton was a crewmember on Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood.
And Fred Rogers, ever Fred Rogers, had nothing but nice things to say about him and his later career.
The guy next to Mister Rogers looks really familiar too.
No idea who that is, sorry.
I remember watching a few of the first episodes with my youngest and was happy to see that he enjoyed the insane wackyness of it all. I'm sure he would have enjoyed watching more of the silliness, but my partner wasn't going to have it. There's a lot of battles I have to fight pretty regularly, and this show was just not one of them. But... it was good to see my youngest enjoying an old show that was a part of my life back then.
Have to be honest though, Randy the bully really bothered me then and still bothers me now. Bullies suck, regardless of their form.
