The PJs is an American adult stop motion-animated black sitcom created by Eddie Murphy, Larry Wilmore, and Steve Tompkins for Fox.

Two days later, the second episode aired in its regular Tuesday night time slot, following King of the Hill.

While co-creator Eddie Murphy is credited as the voice of Thurgood Stubbs on every episode, actor Phil Morris says that in some episodes, he provided the voice of Thurgood; according to Morris, Murphy did not want to show up on some days to record the voice of Thurgood Stubbs, so the producers hired Morris to record Thurgood's lines, where he worked in a separate booth from the other actors, allowing the producers to replace Morris' recordings with Murphy's voice in case Murphy decided he wanted to record his dialogue.

Its high budget and declining ratings led to its cancellation in 2001; the final 2 episodes weren't aired until 2003.

Quincy Jones' son QD3, along with George Clinton, produced the theme music for the show.
