HaPijamot (Hebrew: הפיג'מות) is one of the most famous sitcoms in the Israeli television about a struggling band, determined to make it in the real world. The show is running in the Kids channel and Arutz 2 (Keshet).

Plot

The show follows the misadventures of three friends, Ilan, Kobi, and Oded, when they move from Netanya to Tel-Aviv in order to launch their band. Unlike many shows the people in the show are aware that they are on telivision. Despite this it is there day to day lives. Another major aspect of the show is the "Masach Lavan" or white screen, where they talk to the veiwers and clarify or explain things to the veiwers. Gary also talks to the veiwers when he is alone often complaining about Shifra or just his life generaly. Also there are many interactive episodes such as an episode were they can fast forward or rewind to decide the outcome of the episode and an episode were the veiwer can record ringtones.

The characters often mention the fact that Dana Frider was in 'Nolad Leerkod' (Hebrew for: Born to Dance) and did commercials for the Israli Shampoo Brand: 'Mui Keph' (Hebrew for: Very Fun).
