Eddie Murphy starred in a few good productions but most of his work has been stupid at best. One of the most obnoxious of his works was the short-lived series "The PJs", about a family in the projects. Basically the whole thing pushes stereotypes of African-Americans. There's a reason why Spike Lee objected to this show. I liked most of what Will Vinton Studios produced, but this was just nasty.
I was surprised to see that one of the show's creators was none other than Larry Wilmore, who spent several years as Senior Black Correspondent on "The Daily Show" and then got to host his own show (unfortunately, "The Nightly Show" got canceled). The point is, it makes sense that he's know for those shows and not "The PJs". It's hard to view this show as anything other than mean. Despite Murphy's brief comeback in the late '90s, he returned to crummy movies in the 21st century (does ANYONE remember "The Adventures of Pluto Nash"?)
Conclusion: BAD show. NOT worth your time.
