Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community Jan 7, 2000
Pros: Raw, realistic, entertaining method of storytelling
Cons: Not suitable for children
Summary:
Eddie Murphy sure stirred up the pot on this one.
A map of Murphy's success throughout the 1990's would probably show as a sine wave--it had its *critical* (as opposed to financial) highs and lows, but never stayed on a plateau ... read more

Pros: Claymation

Pros: Funny
Cons: Only on once a week
Summary: This is a really funny show once you start to watch it. If you missed the first episode, it will take a little time to know all the charecters. But once you do, you will devote your life to watching this show.
This show is a very good one ... read more

Pros: claymation is great
Cons: no new episodes recently
Summary: The pjs is a unique show making use of claymation like no other show. I can't believe the perfection achieved by these master claymakers. It tells the story of a black landlord who is ill manerd and beyond a middle aged crisis. IT is a halarious show, ... read more

Pros: Get more blacks on TV even if it is a animated type show.
Cons: Adult themes, some stuff not appropriate for small children. Ex. Drug use.

Pros: new idea
Cons: bad new idea
Summary: This show blows. I saw it a couple of times a while back and I had no interst in it. The clay-mation blows and it was extremely boring. The comic humor of Eddie Murphy is not good in animation, his humor comes from his emotion as an actor and his ... read more
