Principal Cast
One of the funniest TV programs ever, THE RICHARD PRYOR SHOW features the outrageous comedian at his peak. Airing in 1977, this cutting-edge sketch comedy program dared to challenge censors' restrictions like no other TV series before it. Completing just four shows, Pryor personally cancelled the series after feuds with the censors. His determination to remain true to his vision resulted in a high-quality program that was far ahead of its time. This set contains the first two aired episodes.
Ep. 1 (Original Air Date: September 13, 1977) Richard Pryor is a Star Wars bartender, a spaghetti western anti-hero, the First Black U.S. President, Mojo the Snake Handler and a serviceman visiting Club Harlem.
Ep. 2 (Original Air Date: September 20, 1977) Richard Pryor is a Black samurai, a Mississippi prosecutor, the owner of a pet head, an archeologist in Egypt, a come-from man, and a rock-star from Black Death.
Not Rated.
