The animated hosts of the Cult Film Showdown

the late 20th century. A time when there

could be only one, unless you needed a sequel!

Or a TV series. Or an Animated Series.

Ok, there could be only a few dozen or so.

Episode 8 "Pryor's Place"



Richard Pryor tells educational stories

of his youth at a special urban neighborhood.

In the first episode,

Richie (ostensibly Pryor as a child) is

challenged to an afterschool showdown

by Meatrack, the neighborhood bully.



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.



The theme song was performed by Ray Parker Jr.,

of Ghostbusters fame, who also appeared in

the show's opening credits. 13 episodes of

Pryor's Place were broadcast on Saturdays

on CBS from September 15 to December 8, 1984.
