Richard Pryor | Pryor's Place | Episode 1 | High Noon at 5:30 P.M. | 1984 

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'm 56 and I've never seen this. Wow👵🏾❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 RIP Richard Pryor 🌹💔

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.

This is the kind of show black America needs right now.

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!!!

This was my show as a kid..but of course it didn't last long...ray Parker jr..VERY VERY UNDERRATED IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY

That Ray Parker Jingle was 🔥 back when They used to have Awesome Intros for Series

I knew nothing about this the kid that played him did a great job.

I'm like, how did I miss this??? Richard Pryor and Ray Parker....cool

I didn’t think anyone knew he had a kids show! MANY thanks for uploading this! 😎🔥👍🏾😆🤟🏾🤴🏾

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🕊️❤️🎥🤩✨✨✨

Man I STILL love the theme song

This episode made me cry like a baby 😭 Need more shows like this nowadays for kids

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.

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.

So happy to see such a well preserved episode! Hope we get to see them all. 💜

I was 5-6 when this aired. I used to love this show!! Richard was a genius 🙏🏾

I never knew he had a kids show! Wow!

I met Richard Pryor in 1980. I was 9 years old. I was so excited just to be near him.

i was born in the late 80's so i had no idea this existed. Knowing Richard Pryor's comedy style, this looks like something from an alternate universe to me lol

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 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👍

This is a real gem! I've never seen this.This made my day. Thank you Mr. Pryor for still giving me a smile. RIP Richard Pryor

I had no idea he had a kid show but thank goodness now I'm gonna send it to my daughter she will then show it to grands ,great grands and on

I didn’t know this show existed. But I am so glad I found it. God Rest your soul Richard ❤

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.

I was a kid in the 80s but I never even knew that this show existed.

I remembered this show. I never watched it because I was a teenager. Had this came out in the 70s....without question I would have watched it.

I remember this show when it aired on CBS. My oh my how time flies when great shows like this makes great sense. R.I.P. Richard Pryor.

Ray Parker Jr. doesn't get the recognition, in my opinion, he deserves! Great opening song. Glad this came across my feed!

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!

Watching this with my 4 year old. Teaching her about bullying. Thanks for sharing ❤

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.

I've never heard of this show in my entire life of knowing about Richard Pryor. Good to see he set the blueprint for comedians today.

Haven't seen this since the 80's. A long, lost treasure.

This show is way better than what we have corrupting our youth today

Wow I didn't know richard pryor had a TV show....im now watching it 2023

This Just My Bought Tears To my Eyes I Remember This Like It Was Yesterday I'm a Huge Richard Pryor Fan!!!!

I remember this show part of my childhood I watched it religiously every weekend

This looks rare, rest in 🕊️ Richard Pryor 😢

I remember waking up every Saturday morning to watch this.

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. 😊

Richard was a great man. Anyone who can connect to both adults and kids so sincerely is a rare human being.

I've never heard of this show! I lived in Germany in 1984 and missed the whole thing. Thank you for giving me the chance to see it now.😊

I can not believe this got by me as a kid, My Dad would allow me to watch the adult version of Richard Pryor so I would have love this,

I remember this well. I WAS shook to see it on RU-vid after ALL THESE years ‼️.😃👍🏽

Omg I didn't know he had a kid show❤❤❤❤

Miss you Rich....your shows and comedy were soundtracks to my childhood. Thank you❤; and to the poster, thank you.🎉

How did I miss this show growing up 😮

WOW 😱. I had almost forgotten about this classic. What great memories. R.I.P. Richard Pryor..-- RU-vid, Facebook and these other tools of modern technology today are true miracles. They sure don't show good classics like this on regular TV or cable anymore.😅😂🤣

Rest up, Uncle Richard

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.

I had NO idea...I was in my early 20s when this came out, but I still should have known about it. It isn't what you might expect from Richard, but he did a great job.

1984 was full of EVERYTHING ❤️

The innocence of TV back then. It's like a time capsule. Things change that's part of life. Too bad it's not always for the better.

Oh man oh man, do I remember that show! Ray Parker was in his prime back then, and Richard Pryor? Oh yeah! It was a great show. Pleasant memories! Rest in power Richard.

I remember this show, I loved it. Ray Parker singing the intro was slammin.

Rest peacefully Richard Pryor you earned your rest you giving so many people laughter and I know God is laughing right now

This show brings back memories of mines growing up in the 80's😁👌💯

My child hood ✊🏽 #RichardPryor is the Greatest ever 🙏🏽👑🙏🏽 Salutes

I can't believe I missed this wonderful series. Good job Mr. Richard Pryor!

How come I’ve never discovered this gem 💎 until today😂

I can so relate to bullying. I remember this bully in the 4th, 5th, and 6th grade. I hated him. I would get sick just going to school because he always picked on me. In the 7th grade we went to separate junior high schools. I was so relieved.

Not sure why this popped up in my feed but it's cool to know he had a show. It's cute, funny and educational. Pryor was doing it all 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🤗🤗🤗🤗

LOVED IT AND I MISS MR. RICHARD PRYOR

I'm 50 and I remember this show!

I remember this show. Every Saturday morning on CBS.

Richard Pryor was one of the greatest men, absolutely hilarious! ALL THE SUBJECTS ON THIS SHOW HAVE PRIORS

YOU TUBE ! YOU GUYS NOT ONLY HAVE THE BEST / YOUR THE BEST! 👍 THANKS FOR SHARING! 🙏🏿

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

How did I miss out on this gem! I would have been 13 when this was on T.V. Thanks❤

Very emotional, because I was bullied in high school

I was 11 in 1984 and probably watched 👀 one episode but I definitely remember this show 😆

I remember this well. This was on Playboy TV. I would sneak the keys from my Pops and on late night Friday nights I would unlock the cable box. It was my version of learning the Facts of Life other than watching the Facts of Life.

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.

Wow...I forgot about this SHOW ...thanks for the MEMORIES ❤

How am I finding out that this existed today? I was an 80s kid.

This is great to see on youtube. Thanks for uploading!

Now I know where they got the idea for Everybody Hates Chris😁

WOW!!!!! THIS BRINGS BACK SO MANY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES IN THE 80’S WITH THE SATURDAY CARTOONS STARTING AT 6A.M. UNTIL 1P.M. THIS WAS A GREAT SHOW TO WATCH AS A KID. TOP MARKS FOR UPLOADING THIS 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🙂🙂🙂👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🎯🎯🎯🔥🔥🔥

Great memories I remember this show 😊

You did an excellent job. The sound is tremendous. This is my generation.

I remember this show growing up as a kid on Saturday morning after all the cartoons when off I love it after that it's time to go outside a play all day.

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!

This Was Amazing 🙏🙏🙏🙏 Best Talent Around Thanks Richard Pryor RIP 🙏

I was 14 and this show was a favorite immediately. The jingle from Ray Parker Jr. was fire. The show literally was a peaceful moment in a tumultuous 14th year of my life. Richard was massively underrated for his TV offerings. #Salute ✊🏾🕎

How does a Pryor fan not know of this? WOW. TY!

I sincerely hope you upload the rest of these, eventually. I looked for years and finally found some old VHS recordings, but they're all out of sync., and as far as I know, there's never been an official release. This show was priceless.

This whole episode reminds me of "Everyone Hates Chris". Looks like comedians found ways to find laughter even in their hardships.

OMG, this is amazing. Our old school tv shows are still great. Richard Pryor (Mount Rushmore)

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 remember this show. It came on right after Pee Wee's Playhouse. It wasn't on for long. Nice memory. Thanks for sharing.

I've never heard of this show before. It has a really smooth feel-good opening theme too. Thanks for sharing this gold

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!!!

I never knew of this show but then again I was born in the 80s this man is a legend and will never be replaced or forgotten

CHILDHOOD UNLOCKED❤❤

I loved this show when I was a kid! Damn shame it didn’t last

I was like... Wayment... Richard Pryor had a tv show in 1984 ? But then i thought, chile... You was 3 years old when that show came out & it only lasted for almost three months . That's why i didn't know or don't remember . 😃😃😃

Will always say this, i loved Richard Pryor's acting more than his comedy. He was brilliant and so sincere.

The Cosby Show, The Brady Bunch, Gimme A Break, Diff'rent Strokes, The Facts Of Life, A Diff'rent World, Family Ties, The Golden Girls, Family Matters, Full House, everything else that came on ABC's TGIF Friday Night Lineup, Good Times, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Dynasty, Dallas, L.A.
