  In this paper, we introduce a general family of $q$-hypergeometric
polynomials and investigate several $q$-series identities such as an extended
generating function and a Srivastava-Agarwal type bilinear generating function
for this family of $q$-hypergeometric polynomials. We give a transformational
identity involving generating functions for the generalized $q$-hypergeometric
polynomials which we have introduced here. We also point out relevant
connections of the various $q$-results, which we investigate here, with those
in several related earlier works on this subject. We conclude this paper by
remarking that it will be a rather trivial and inconsequential exercise to give
the so-called $(p,q)$-variations of the $q$-results, which we have investigated
here, because the additional parameter $p$ is obviously redundant.
