When this aired, I was 19-20 and I lived alone, no television. I never heard of this. I could cry...Pryor's sincerity as he's talking to the camera, talking to kids...you can see how much he cared. Rest easy Richard 🌹
I had a bully like this as well; I picked up a pole and beat the shit outta him! He got some of his boys and they ganged up on me. Then My cousins and I beat the snot out of him again. The back in forth went on for a while and one day, we never saw him again....Someone shot him. (Then I heard the theme song to Pryor's Place and everything was fine again)
I remember this as a kid. I was so sad it was canceled. He taught me to be brave and speak up about inappropriate secrets. This show was just as important as sesame street to me.
No matter what demons Richard Pryor struggled with, it cannot be denied that a program such as this would’ve really helped a young person who might be in trouble, not knowing what to do. Pryor s, er…priors, cannot undo the good that he was giving in heaps with a program like this. RIP Richard Pryor🕊️❤️🎥🤩✨✨✨
Ray Parker Jr gave my uncle Melvin Ragin aka Wah Wah Watson his famous Gibson L5 guitar that he used his whole career on countless hits from Papa Was A Rolling Stone, Car Wash, Let’s Get It On, Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite and etc!! RIP to one of the greatest rhythm guitarist ever!!!
I was 7 years old when this came out and watched it as a kid. The exact opposite of his blue oriented content towards adults, Richard Pryor put out a positive message every episode for kids while providing quality entertainment. As someone now 47, I find it unfortunate that they don't put out quality shows like this for kids anymore. Rest In Peace, Richard.
*_This was my joint back then. If you're 70's bred, then you know about this. I remember this like yesterday. Salute to Ray Parker Jr. He had hits too !!!!!!_*
I remember Fat Albert, The Electric Company (1971-77), and the Children's Television Workshop children's programing when I was a kid back in Brooklyn NY. During the 70's and 80's and living in the projects, I saw things that I never should have at that age (7 to 12 yrs old). Running home after school to watch these shows probably saved my life. I never really got into Pryor's Place due to the fact that The Electric Company was more gritty, had an edge to it, yet educational and fun to watch. To this day I'm so grateful to Mr Pryor (RIP) and to all those educators that saw this as a wonderful tool to reach children of all kinds.
Ray Parker Jr. nailed this intro. Richard Pryor truly cared about the kids... He was on Sesame Street a lot before this. I wish he could've overcame his demons and problems so he could still be here with us. RIP legend!
Theme song, Sounds like Ray Parker Jr’s band, called Raydio, kinda sounds the track: A WOMAN NEEDS LOVE (JUST LIKE YOU DO) to my ears, that he did with Raydio…..btw, I never heard of Pryor’s Place, just the way Richard is looking at the camera all serious with those eyes of his & stearn stare-down, I’m waiting for him crack a joke any minute😂😂😂😂
Rest in peace Richard. I'm 53 years old and I'll be honest. I didn't even know he had a kids show and to me it was really shocking considering how he is on stage I'm sure it broke him up when he was canceled you can tell he was very sincere about this it was very important to him, I saw he's really wanted to make a difference. This was really a smart move, surprised that was canceled. Seems like it would have been a good show at the time. Had black people had more power back then I'm sure it would have stayed on the air because he had a lot of pull. I guess this is his rendition of Sesame Street I think it's wonderful. Seriously, this was awesome. What a shame that it was . He seemed so sincere speaking to the kids and you can tell this is really what happened to him I'm sure he was bullied by someone calling themselves, meat rack. Really this was awesome thanks for putting it up for everyone to see. Way2go Sir Richard Pryor...😇 he was so sincere as he was speaking to the camera to the children in TV Land. Rest easy Richard rest easy
I just found this by accident a few days ago. I never knew this show existed. Is a damn shame that those with power in the media, never truly PROMOTED this show. Then they quickly canceled it. Them racist folks did not give this a chance to succeed by design. They don't like black people to excel by seeing positive images of ourselves. But they have no problem showing us as gangsters, thieves, killer's, robbers etc etc. This program would have help develop the minds of all children to become good respectable citizens in society. I'm grateful the person who uploaded this video. I'm letting all my black friend's and relatives know so they can have their kid's watch this show.
@@kimbronson3520 Think it over before you get so emotional, I'm a black man and can understand this show being cancelled, Richard Pryor's audience has always been adults, it was weird seeing him do a kids show, believe it or not, it's not always about race
I always liked Richard Pryor because he was hilarious in everything he was in. I never knew that he had a kids show on CBS in the mid-1980s so this is a treat. I've always been a fan of Ray Parker, Jr. and Raydio and Ray Parker, Jr. performing the theme makes the show even more awesome!
Loved this show when I was a kid! My introduction to Richard Pryor was Superman III, The Toy, and this show. Didn't learn about his stand-up career until I was a little older. I remember thinking how cool it was that Gus from Superman had a Saturday morning show. And that theme song? So smooth. Days gone by.
Richard Pryor was such a great actor one of the best in the world. I just watched JoJo dancer. Your life is calling. It was so crazy watching it again.
I remember this show! It's been decades, so I had completely forgot that it existed. The Ray Parker tune was definitely the best way to start a show. It didn't last long, only a few months, I think, but there were a lot of guest stars that would show up, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Sammy Davis Jr. It actually was a pretty good show. It was part of the Saturday cartoons.
This is a true classic. Richard Pryor was so good in doin this for himself n the kids. It a shame it got cancelled. N love Ray Parker's Jr song for it. Mis this.
omg, i remember this show as a kid. They do not make shows like this anymore. The 80's was safer times and shows like this make me miss those times as a kid.
20:52 Richard has a great message at the end of the episode. He is now in the hands of God. Thank you, Richard Pryor this series has some lessons to learn
When this show aired, I was 10 years old. And I’ll never forget a particular episode where this black kid’s parents were getting a divorce. Now understand my parents have been married for over 50 years and have always been in my life. So as a kid, my young mind couldn’t understand how his parents could divorce. I thought that if they truly loved each other, they could work things out. But as a 49 year old man, I completely understand now! lol I was innocent and naïve. Now I know that even love can’t keep you together. But I’ve never forgotten about that episode.
Kids really need this, they need adults to care like Richard - this is really a good show, fun but deep on many levels. Shame we didn’t recognize the genius love this show expressed.
Me either... and we were big Richard Pryor fans in my household, too. Did it come on cable? If it did, that could be how I missed it. We couldn't afford cable till the 90's
@@JustNess78 it was on CBS in 84-85 as a Saturday morning show, I remember watching it when I was 5-6 and then thought I'd made it up until the internet proved that yes, Richard Pryor did have a show for kids in the day lol

Man just when I thought I knew the g.o.a t.,I m 58 and don't remember. This show at all,but I got all his albums and seen all his concerts. Jojo dancer you where the man,rest n power sir
I didn't get to watch too much of his movies and comedy shows as a kid for obvious reasons. But I remember in 1985, at 8 years old, my parents went to a get-together some friends were having with card playing, drinking, and socializing on a Saturday night. While the adults were socializing and the other kids were hanging out, the hosts had HBO and I watched Bustin' Loose. I laughed so hard and thought that it was so cool watching it. It was one of Pryor's best movies. And a good time from my childhood.
Oh wow! I remember this show. Hearing Ray Parker Jr. bought it all back. It was definitely short lived. I thought it was a good show. Thanks for posting these. 😊
I'm reading an old Alpha Flight comic right now from 1984 when I saw an ad for Pryor's Place and had to immediately look it up on youtube 😂. I was born in '84 so I didn't even know this existed til now.
This video reminds me of when I used to travel to Jamaica with my family several times a year. The children loved it. Especially, chasing the baby animal and waking up early to go out with their grandfather to feed the animals. They are all professionals now and give back to Jamaica in many ways. Bless up to you and your family.
i watched this when it aired. it was such a bizarre thought at the time. Pryor doing kids TV. but it worked. something about the theme is so comforting.
Just SLIGHTLY before my time. I never knew this existed. But I'm glad I found this. It's amazing. It's a nice peek into the world of programming of the day. Very fascinating to see Richard Pryor make something very family oriented and entertaining. Such a juxtaposition from how crazy his specials were 😅 Its almost like a blueprint for Everybody Hates Chris.
This was one of the best TV shows ever. It was the end of the Saturday morning lineup.😢 Such great memories. Thanks for this post! Richard Pryor was one of the greats!
OMG!! I have never seen this show..I was only 1 when it came out..I throughly enjoyed warching this..always been a fan of Richard Pryor!! This was a good episode...I love how he educated the youth...Rest Well Mr. PRYOR!!!
Love, Honor and Respect to Richard Pryor because hd used his life experience to helped others to make better choices. I really love the show because it is informative, educational, entertaining with a positive messages to enlighten people's mind.
I'm 53 Years Old And Watched This Show On Saturdays !!!!!
I'm 45 and watched it back then, too. Been looking for it for years.
Same here!

This hit me hard too. I'd never seen this, totally blown away 👵🏾🙏🏾

He is dearly missed.
I saw it as a kid. I remember. It’s what the era was, to learn no matter what the actor was on
I was a 19yo when this aired. I don’t recall Pryor’s Place at all. Interesting to see Ray Parker Jr, hardest working man in show business👍
I remember this as a kid. I was so sad it was canceled. He taught me to be brave and speak up about inappropriate secrets. This show was just as important as sesame street to me.
Ray Parker Jr. doesn't get the recognition, in my opinion, he deserves! Great opening song. Glad this came across my feed!
He got recognized for stealing a song.
Wonderful voice. 💯👍🙂
Jordan Peele gave it up for him
That was one of the first things that I noticed.
Kinda sounds like he ripped off his own Band though (You Can't Change That, by Raydio). XD
I met Richard Pryor in 1980. I was 9 years old. I was so excited just to be near him.
I knew his daughter when I lived in Baltimore.
i used to lube him and marlon brando up before they tangled in love

Wow! I had totally forgot about this show but instantly remembered the words to the intro. I wish I could go back to the 80s
Rest peacefully Richard Pryor you earned your rest you giving so many people laughter and I know God is laughing right now
