The PJs

The PJs is an American animated sitcom that aired on Fox and later The WB. The series centered on the lives of an African-American family living in the Public Housing Estates in a major city. The main characters, Eddie and Louise Jefferson, often found themselves in humorous and relatable situations as they navigated the challenges and joys of inner-city life, dealing with quirky neighbors and everyday struggles.

The PJs received mixed to positive reviews during its run. Critics often praised its unique stop-motion animation style and its attempts to tackle social issues with humor. However, some found the humor to be hit-or-miss, and the show struggled with consistent ratings, leading to its cancellation.
