Pryor's Place

Pryor's Place Information

Pryor's Place is an American children's television series that aired on CBS. The live-action series starred comedian Richard Pryor as himself.

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. However, Pryor's Place frequently dealt with more sobering issues than the series it so closely resembled.

The theme song was performed by Ray Parker Jr. of Ghostbusters fame, who also appeared in the show's opening credits.

Pryor's Place was broadcast on CBS (at 11:30 AM Eastern/10:30 AM Central) from September 15 to December 8, 1984, with repeats airing until June 15, 1985. Four video tapes were released between September 1997 and June 1998 by Rhino Entertainment, each containing one episode of the series.
