Because it's (a) surprisingly funny, and (b) chock full of adult humor, from politics to blatant sexual innuendo. The fact that the latter was either never noticed or never a problem for CBS on Saturday mornings is still a mystery to me.

I think that you might be reading too much into it if you see tons of innappropriate humor in it. A lot of kids shows have a lot of weird stuff that older minds read too much into and construe it as something nasty.

So is Cheers, but I don't want that on Adult Swim, either.
The question here is, "Why does the Cartoon Network continue to show non-cartoon programming?".

I can only go with what both Paul Ruebens (Pee Wee) and other show writers have said about the characters and the stories. I heard a fairly recent interview with Ruebens where he specficially noted that he was stunned that CBS never pulled it due to the dozen or more adult-oriented humor bits in ever episode.

My guess is that it is similar in concept to much of the stuff on AS, something that is still normally considered as being for children but that is in fact for adults.

Really? Any source?

Wow, I can't believe enough people like the show that it's being put back on air. That it's going onto Adult Swim is just amazing.
It's just enough people at CN and AS like it and they were probably able to get a good price for it. Add to that the idea that showing it is considered edgy, at least by the folks who sign the checks to put it on the air. It was supposedly a satire of children's programming but CBS didn't quite get that.

The physical stats were so lousy I stopped eating donuts, cut down on soda, started walking each day and swimming a couple of times a week. I'll redo the stat thing when things improve.
Pee Wee's Playhouse was a great show. The problem is that it isn't a cartoon. We can add this along with Saved By The Bell, Spider-Man, and Dumb And Dumber to the "Why the hell is this on Cartoon Network?" list.
