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. (official distributor synopsis)
