What happens

The PJs is an American adult stop motion-animated black sitcom created by Eddie Murphy, Larry Wilmore, and Steve Tompkins for Fox. Murphy also starred in the series, and it was produced by Ron Howard and Brian Grazer for Imagine Television, The Murphy Company, Will Vinton Studios, Touchstone Television in its first two seasons (thus marking the show as Disney's first adult animated series), and Warner Bros. Television in its third and final season. The original run of the series debuted on Fox on January 10, 1999. On January 12, the second episode aired in its regular Tuesday night time slot, following King of the Hill. The series was moved to The WB for its third season and the series ended on May 20, 2001. The series portrays life in an urban public housing project. The show's title is an abbreviation for "the projects", referring to the show's public housing highrise. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
