''Johnson and Friends'' is an Australian kids show that aired in the 90's, about a pink plush elephant toy named Johnson, who belongs to a boy named Michael, and the various adventures he has in Michael's bedroom with his other toys, such as a concertina named [=McDuff=] and a toy truck named Diesel.

----
!!Contains the following tropes:
* AmnesiaEpisode: "Diesel Who", where Diesel accidentally collides with a wall after trying to run over [=McDuff=]. The collision is hard enough that it leaves Diesel unable to remember who he is, or who any of his friends are, for the rest of the episode.
* AnimateInanimateObject: Alfred, a hot water bottle, technically isn't a toy but is still a recurring character.
* {{Balloonacy}}: The episode "The Birthday Balloon" is about the toys admiring some balloons Michael has brought home from a birthday party. Johnson ends up floating through the air while trying to grab them, and the others have to get him back down.
* BirthdayEpisode: "Birthday Party" is about Johnson's birthday.
* BlatantLies: In the episode "Battle of the Bed", Alfred is on top of the bed and throws pillows at the toys just for a laugh. When he throws one at Diesel, he tries to convince him [[ImplausibleDeniability he didn't throw the pillow, which should be a pretty obvious lie given that Alfred's the only one on the bed...]]
-->'''Alfred:''' What makes you think that I'd want to throw a pillow at you? I've never thrown a pillow in all my life!
-->'''Diesel:''' Are you sure?
-->'''Alfred:''' Look, I don't even know what a pillow looks like!
-->'''Diesel:''' Mmm, alright. Don't let it happen again!
* CatchPhrase: "Blithering blazes!" for Alfred.
* ChristmasEpisode: In "Christmas Presents", the toys give each other Christmas presents.
* DebutQueue: The first episode introduces Johnson, [=McDuff=] and Diesel. With Alfred and Squeaky introduced in following episodes.
* EasyAmnesia: In "Diesel Who", Diesel immediately develops amnesia after he collides with a wall. He gets his memory back when he collides with the bedroom door as the other toys close it to keep him from leaving.
* GenderEqualEnsemble: From Season 3 onwards, the main cast consists of three boys (Johnson, Diesel, and Alfred) and three girls ([=McDuff=], Squeaky, and Victoria).
* TheGhost: Michael and his family.
* GoodFeelsGood: In "Being Good" Diesel tries to be more helpful, ultimately he doesn't always have fun but he tells Johnson he gets a really good feeling inside when he helps the other toys.
* HeavySleeper: Michael. No matter how loud they are at night, the toys are unable to wake him up.
* HereWeGoAgain: "Diesel Who" ends with Diesel regaining his memory... immediately followed by [=McDuff=] losing her memory due to Diesel accidentally crushing her.
* InjuryBookend: In "Diesel Who", Diesel's memory is restored when he bumps into the bedroom door. Colliding with a wall is exactly how he got amnesia in the first place.
* InstrumentalThemeTune: The theme song does not have any vocals.
* LivingToys: The entire main cast is comprised of these, obviously.
* {{Masquerade}}: Similar to ''Franchise/ToyStory'', the toys become inanimate when Michael is in the room, except for when he is sleeping.
* MinimalistCast: Not counting Michael and his family, the show had only five characters, Johnson the plush elephant, [=McDuff=] the concertina, Diesel the monster truck, Squeaky the robot, and Alfred the hot water bottle. This number increased to six after season three, with the introduction of Victoria the dinosaur.
* NewYearHasCome: "Happy New Year" takes place during New Year's Eve.
* PeopleInRubberSuits: All of the characters are full-body puppets.
* PicnicEpisode: "The Picnic" is about Johnson organizing a picnic by the window in Michael's room.
* PlayingSick: In "Chicken Pox", Alfred places little pieces of confetti all over his body and pretends to have chicken pox so that he'll get some rest.
* PromotedToOpeningTitles: Victoria in season 4. She even appears on the title card.
* ProtagonistAndFriends
* SecondEpisodeIntroduction: Alfred is introduced in the second episode, "Under the Bed".
* SeesawCatapult: In "The Birthday Balloon", Alfred has Squeaky sit on one end of a xylophone and [=McDuff=] jump onto the other end to catapult Squeaky up into the air and bring Johnson and the balloons back down. [=McDuff=] jumps at the wrong time, sending Alfred into the air instead, but he still manages to bring Johnson back down.
* SickEpisode: In "Chicken Pox", Michael comes down with chicken pox, and the toys help him to get better while he is sleeping.
* StatusQuoIsGod: [[EnforcedTrope Enforced]] because of it's audience (pre-schoolers to 8-year-olds). In general, the following things happen OnceAnEpisode:
** [[AesopAmnesia The character learns their lesson, then it's forgotten about a few episodes later]].
** The characters have a birthday [[AgelessBirthdayParty but their age isn't mentioned]].
** [[IgnoredEpiphany Any moral they do learn quickly gets forgotten about]], but justified as they're toys.
** [[PlotArmor No character can ever die]]; well, no toy can ever be broken permanently.
** [[JokerImmunity The closest things the show has to a villain]], well, the jerkasses, will never be rendered inert or as broken toys.
* SurpriseParty: In "Birthday Party", the toys organize a surprise birthday party for Johnson.
* TwoGirlsToATeam: The main cast initially contains two girls, [=McDuff=] and Squeaky. The introduction of Victoria makes the cast a GenderEqualEnsemble.
* VanityLicensePlate: Diesel has one that reads "TOY 123".
* WeWantOurJerkBack: Diesel tries to be good in "Being Good", and after discovering GoodFeelsGood he starts annoying the other toys with requests to help. Things change back when Johnson explains he doesn't have to be super helpful all the time, nor does he have to be such a menace.
