"Pryor's Place" is a short-lived 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 (via the aid of Sid and Marty Krofft), 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. [ [http://retrojunk.com/details_tvshows/948-pryors-place/ Retrojunk.com - Pryor's Place (intro)] ] of "Ghostbusters" fame.

"Pryor's Place" was broadcast on CBS (at 11:30 am ET) from September 22, 1984 - June 15, 1985. [ [http://www.tvparty.com/sat84.html TV Party - Saturday Mornings 1984] ]
