Ploydsge just watch it!
Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
the7thson1962 This show would have been better if it was actually funny. I only ever even chuckled once - that was when the character with the artificial voice box accidentally put the stun gun to his throat by mistake.Otherwise, the show was a grave disappointment and a waste of some formidable comedic talent.From a technical standpoint, the show was really good. The claymation was inventive and almost flawlessly executed, the model work was first-rate. Too bad about the writing....bummer.If Mr. Murphy ever wants to bring this back - or do another similar project, I would recommend that he invest in some better writers...preferably writers that recognize the difference between funny and not funny.
thussar I really liked the PJs also. It was a short-lived series that became the victim of the overzealous NAACP and the need for too many people in our society to be "politically correct". These days they give Oscars out for movies that portray much worse than the PJs - yet for some reason because its in a movie, and people pay for it, that's OK. Go figure. The PJs was one of the best pieces of work Eddy Murphy has produced, well-written, very funny, and the claymation style fits in perfect with the story concept. The part I remember most is when the HUD lady lists all her kid's names. Does anyone remember all of them? I only remember 3 - Chevron, Lasagna, and Doritos. I thought there was more of them. Thanks!
pastfind While the very first episode left me wondering, the rest of the series has been hysterical. The show has great depth with the characters and the sets are amazing, considering the amount of work foamation requires. The humor might offend some but hasn't The Simpsons, King of the Hill, and Futurama done the same? The show seems to have been shafted since it came out and I feel this is a shame. I recommend that anyone who has doubts about the show should watch two or three episodes and see their reaction. I am predicting that they will include it in their lineup.
millennia-2 I've seen only one episode of Fox's claymation comedy 'The PJs', but I can safely say that I won't be watching any more. The series is never funny (despite supposedly being a comedy) clumsily handles stereotypical issues, and is plain boring. Eddie Murphy has a real misfire here, and I'm glad it's been cancelled. At least I think it has been, I just haven't seen any adds for it recently.Stay away from it unless you are bored out of your mind, or are in search of some good visuals.
