Spiderlegs,

The Program you are looking for is Johnson and Friends.

The show is set in Michael's bedroom - Michael is a boy like any other but when Michael leaves his bedroom his toys come to life. Each episode focuses on the adventures, mischief and fun of the toys when they are alone.

The toys are: Johnson, Michael's oldest toy, a pink stuffed elephant; McDuff, a blue and yellow accordion; Diesel, a red toy truck; Alfred, a green water bottle; Squeaky, a black and red robot; and Victoria the dinosaur.
