Editing Accidental Playhouse (Pee-Wee's Playhouse)

'''Accidental Playhouse''' is a 6th episode of 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==
* Mrs. Rene, and Miss Yvonne visit in this episode. Cowboy Curtis calls on the Picturephone.
* [[Joey Miyashima]] played [[Oki Doki (Pee-wee's Playhouse)]], Herman's pen pal from Tokyo. This character may or may not be the same Oki from Reba Eats and Pterri Runs, however.
* Herman has another Japanese pen pal (as seen in the first season's [[Rainy Day (Pee-wee's Playhouse)]] episode)—Aiko.
* Conky says hello to Oki in this episode; earlier, Globey mentions that Mr. Mitsumi works in the automotive industry.
* The Flowers, apparently knowing Japanese courtesy, bow in this episode.
* The secret word in this episode is PLACE, which is said and screamed at six times, counting one time in Japanese.
* Jambi does not appear in this episode.
* Mrs. Rene does the secret word routine in this episode.
* [[Gamera]] is a Japanese tokusatsu TV show from the 1970s, conveniently dubbed into English.
* When Oki says the secret word in Japanese (tokoro), a kanji symbol for the secret word "処" flashes when everybody screams.
