The PJs – TV Guide Vault Collection

Just 7 hours of random Pj's episodes. The PJs is an American adult stop-motion animated sitcom created by Eddie Murphy, Larry Wilmore, and Steve Tompkins. It aired on Fox from January 10, 1999, to September 5, 2000, and then moved to The WB for its third and final season, concluding on May 20, 2001. The series is set in the fictional Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs housing project, a high-rise public housing complex modeled after Chicago, and centers on Thurgood Stubbs (voiced by Eddie Murphy in most episodes, with Phil Morris voicing him in later seasons), the short-tempered, poorly educated, and health-conscious superintendent of the project. The show uses stop-motion clay animation by Will Vinton Studios and presents a satirical, comedic portrayal of life in an urban public housing project. Thurgood, despite his flaws, is a natural leader and often struggles with the daily frustrations of maintaining the deteriorating building and managing the eccentric residents. Key characters include his wife Muriel Stubbs (Loretta Devine), the voice of reason; the grumpy senior Florence Normandie Avery (Ja'net DuBois), who owns a loaded shotgun named "Mrs. Jones"; her dog Lucky, who survived three shotgun blasts; the children Calvin Banks and "Juicy" Hudson; the homeless crackhead "Smokey" (Shawn Michael Howard); and Jimmy Ho, a Korean tenant who identifies as African-American. The series won three Emmy Awards and one Annie Award. It was notable for being Disney's first adult animated series, produced under Touchstone Television in its first two seasons. As of 2026, the full series is available to stream on Peacock, and the show is occasionally shown on Pluto TV.
