4 | A Canadian children's television program that aired on Creator/{{YTV}} in the 1990s, spun off from some interstitial segments that aired on the channel beforehand. The premise was quite simple; PJ Katie (real name Jennifer Racicot), the show's host, had some farm animal figurines she made from plasticine, and she would tell stories about the various adventures the animals have. |

6 | !!This show provides examples of: |
7 | |
8 | * AlienAnimals: A story arc showing how Rosebeekee met the other animals shows that he's an alien from the planet of eggs. |
9 | * AliensSpeakingEnglish: Rosebeekee, an alien animal, and the giant egg on the planet of eggs can speak English. |
10 | * AnimatedCreditsOpening: The show's opening has animated versions of the plasticine animals. |
11 | * AuthorAvatar: PJ Katie made a plasticine avatar of herself, also named PJ Katie, to interact with the animals. |
12 | * FlyingSaucer: PJ Katie uses a danish to represent a flying saucer in one episode. |
13 | * {{Gasshole}}: PJ Katie often struggled to make the sound of a horse neighing, so Blue tends to sound like he's passing gas rather than neighing. |
14 | %% * LargeHam: PJ Katie, of course. |
15 | * MythologyGag: In the episode where Percival sets up a rocket ship, the rocket ship building kit is delivered to the farm and addressed to a "not-so-nameless pig". In the shorts that preceded the actual show, PJ Katie often referred to Percival as "the nameless pig" before a viewer sent the name Percival. |
16 | %% * NoFourthWall |
17 | * NoNameGiven: In the original YTV interstitial segments, PJ Katie didn't immediately come up with a name for Percival the pig and waited for viewers to send letters to her suggesting a name for the character; the pig was referred to as simply "the nameless pig" and "the pig with no name" before he got a proper name. |
18 | * OffTheShelfFX: All the props looked like they were made by PJ Katie herself or bought from the dollar store. |
19 | * OohMeAccentsSlipping: Many of the characters have strong accents that PJ Katie clearly starts to struggle with after a while, as the episode rolls on. |
20 | * SpaceEpisode: A story arc shows Percival putting together a rocket and going into space, which is how he meets Rosebeekee. |
21 | * SpinOff: Started as a between-show segment as part of the standard "PJ" lineup on YTV. |
22 | * TalkingAnimal: All the clay animals can talk. |
23 | * ThemeTuneRollCall: The theme song introduces all of the animals one by one. |
24 | * TitleThemeTune: |
25 | --> On Katie's Farm, imagination's the rule, |
26 | --> Dippe the cat, so calm and cool; |
27 | --> Demi and D'arci and Ed come along, |
28 | --> Delilah the Cow she's everyone's mom; |
29 | --> Bryce the Collie barks and runs free, |
30 | --> while Blue the Horse naps under a tree; |
31 | --> Percival pig just squeals all the time! |
32 | --> Rosebeekee hamster whiiiines! |
33 | --> Join the gang for adventures and fun, |
34 | --> Katie's farm is for everyone! |
35 | * WomanOfAThousandVoices: PJ Katie did ''all'' the voices of every character in the show. |
36 | * WorldOfHam: PJ Katie gives some exaggerated voices to the animals. The only outlier of the main cast is Ed the rabbit, who speaks in a soft voice. |
