Bananas in Pyjamas

Bananas in Pyjamas is an Australian children's television show that premiered on 20 July 1992 on ABC. It has since become syndicated in many different countries, and dubbed into other languages. In the United States, the "Pyjamas" in the title was modified to reflect the American spelling pajamas. This aired in syndication from 1995 to 1997 as a half-hour series, then became a 15-minute show paired with a short-lived 15-minute series The Crayon Box, under a 30-minute block produced by Sachs Family Entertainment titled Bananas in Pajamas & The Crayon Box. Additionally, the characters and a scene from the show were featured in the Kids for Character sequel titled Kids for Character: Choices Count. The pilot episode was Pink Mug.

Directed by Helena Harris, Bananas in Pyjamas leans on a strong ensemble — Kenneth Radley, Nicholas Opolski, Sandie Lillingston — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about kids titles of 1992.
