Pryor's Place


Pryor's Place is an American children's television series that aired for one season in 1984 on CBS. The live-action series starred comedian Richard Pryor.

Overview

Despite a reputation for profanity from Richard Pryor, Pryor's Place was aimed at children. Like Sesame Street, Pryor's Place featured a cast of puppets hanging out and having fun in a friendly inner-city environment, along with several children and characters portrayed by Pryor himself.
The theme song was performed by Ray Parker Jr.of Ghostbusters fame, who also appeared in the show's opening credits. The series was also fitted with a laugh track. Commercial-bumpers were announced by an uncredited Rick Dees.
Pryor's Place was broadcast on Saturdays on CBS from September 15 to December 8, 1984, with repeats airing until June 15, 1985. It was replaced with reruns of another Krofft show, Land of the Lost. Four VHS videotapes of the show were released between September 1997 and June 1998 by Rhino Entertainment, each containing one episode of the series.
