I find it interesting that a couple of CBS stations scaled "Pee-Wee's Playhouse" back to 7:30 AM; if I'm not mistaken, Mr. Herman would have had his infamous "outing" by now... and it wouldn't surprise me if folks in this particular part of the country have had enough of him by then...

It was the night before this schedule, IIRC, that Pee-Wee had his "big misadventure"--but I think it occurred too late that Friday, July 26 to where it was not in the news until that Sunday.
 
I think the real reason is the 11:30 AM timeslot on CBS;
both WFMY and WRAL had already decided to do their
own thing after 11 AM (and maybe with good reason, since
"The Bugs Bunny & Tweety Show" was on ABC and "Saved
By The Bell" on NBC from 11 to 12), and chose to air "Pee-
Wee's Playhouse" out of pattern. I don't think Pee-Wee's
"misadventure" had anything to do with it.
