PJ Katie's Farm
PJ Katie's Farm is a Canadian children's television series[1] featuring the live action manipulation of Crayola Model Magic figures and was hosted/narrated/acted/voiced/improvised by actress Jennifer Racicot as PJ Katie.
The series was originally developed from interstitial segments on YTV's preschool block, The Treehouse, before becoming its own series in 1995.[2] The show also aired on the separate Treehouse TV channel in 1999.[3]
Format
[edit]The series took place in front of the little barn made from popsicle sticks on top of a long tabletop, that sometimes extended out to other settings, such as a large crater where eggs from outer space landed.
PJ Katie voiced all of the animals.
Music
[edit]The theme song was sung by Racicot herself, and most episodes were introduced with her yelling "You are here for PJKTYSFRMPJKTYSFRMPJKTYSFRM!".
Theme song lyrics
[edit]On Katie's Farm, imagination's the rule,
Dippe the cat, so calm and cool;
Demi and Darci and Ed come along,
Delilah the Cow she's everyone's mom;
Bryce the Collie barks and runs free,
while Blue the Horse naps under a tree;
Percival pig just squeals all the time!
Rosebeekie hamster whiiiines!
Join the gang for adventures and fun,
Katie's farm is for everyone!
Rights bought by Nelvana
[edit]In 1998, Nelvana bought distribution rights to the entire series. However, they have not distributed the series since then.[4]
