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.
