The PJs has quietly become one of the more dependable comedies currently available in the US on fuboTV. The 3-season run is exactly the right length for what it is doing. 50 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Eddie Murphy's performance alone is worth the time investment. Start it on fuboTV whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, The PJs is worth clearing space for. The PJs does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. Thurgood Stubbs lives with his wife, Muriel, in the Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs housing project, where he is the superintendent. This animated comedy follows the adventures of the Subbs and their friends, while taking a satirical view of the ups and downs of life in a big-city housing project. The chemistry Eddie Murphy and Loretta Devine bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. The series ran for 3 seasons (1999–2001), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. The timing in The PJs is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, The PJs respects your intelligence. The tonal similarities to Ugly Americans are real, though The PJs carves out its own identity quickly. Short enough to finish in a weekend, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Eddie Murphy anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.

The PJs wrapped up in 2001, created by Larry Wilmore, Eddie Murphy and Steve Tompkins — and 3 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
