The animated hosts of the Cult Film Showdown explore the strangest time in human history - 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. Watch along at https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRkso3AeKZUk2kT_iXfXP8PCb6iaufS48&si=7nKxhyHpiA2z0QQm 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.
