Editing Accidental Playhouse (Pee-wee's Playhouse)

'''Accidental Playhouse''' is a 6th episode of [[:Category: Pee-wee's Playhouse|Pee-wee's Playhouse]] season 5, airing October 20, 1990.

Mrs. Rene gives Pee-wee a letter from his pen pal Oki Doki from Japan. In the letter, which Conky translates for Pee-wee (since he can't read Japanese yet), Oki tells Pee-wee he is coming to visit him. Oki shows Pee-wee sushi, origami, and Gamera (A Japanese tokusatsu TV show). Everyone also plays charades when Oki leaves.

==Trivia==
