Eddie Murphy starred in a few good productions but most of his work has been stupid at best. One of the most obnoxious of his works was the short-lived series "The PJs", about a family in the projects. Basically the whole thing pushes stereotypes of African-Americans. There's a reason why Spike Lee objected to this show. I liked most of what Will Vinton Studios produced, but this was just nasty.I was surprised to see that one of the show's creators was none other than Larry Wilmore, who spent several years as Senior Black Correspondent on "The Daily Show" and then got to host his own show (unfortunately, "The Nightly Show" got canceled). The point is, it makes sense that he's know for those shows and not "The PJs". It's hard to view this show as anything other than mean. Despite Murphy's brief comeback in the late '90s, he returned to crummy movies in the 21st century (does ANYONE remember "The Adventures of Pluto Nash"?)Conclusion: BAD show. NOT worth your time.

...the show seemed like it was a bunch of rich white writers laughing at poor minority groups.The hang-overs from some of the creative people behind The Simpsons is evident. There are numerous references that the unemployed are all scroungers and perfectly happy with their lot in life, unless of course they are trying to demand more from the system.As the series went on, it seemed to degenerate into a series of movie parodies, with numerous pop-culture references to movies such as Star Wars, E.T, Terminator 2, etc, moving away from the original intention of the show. You are left with the impression that there are just too many puns on black culture/pop-culture to be anything other than the "haves" chuckling at the "have-nots".Eddie Murphy is the key figure in making the show work - his vocal performance stands head & shoulders above the rest of the cast, not that this comment is in any way sidelining the others in the show, but the fact that Murphy seems to have used his creative/production credit to make sure that he gets all the plum lines.It was a bold move to have a stop-motion animation series on TV at a time when conventional animation and CG shows were so very popular. As the series went on, the quality of the animation just got better & better, eventually having the kind of shots that are usually seen on the big screen. If The PJ's is remembered for anything, it will be for the innovative use of a dying art-form.

my all time favorite. people don't get that some of our greatest artist today come from places like the p.j.'s world. true comic satire at it's best. without parody and true life comedy, what is freedom? I love this show, currently playing on trio tv. Eddie, where are you? come back to movies like trading places, coming to america.

While the second season hasn't been as good as the first, it's still one of the best shows Fox ever produced. Like most good humor it's not PC and wouldn't be any good if it was. Will Vinton's visuals are amazing and the characters have more warmth and depth than you would expect in animation. It's easy to see how this show could offend folks, but how could you write humor this good and not offend anyone? Check out this show while you still can.
