The Richard Pryor Show

Director:
"When I committed to do a 10-week comedy variety series on NBC, I thought I could do something significant.
I saw only the possibilities of TV as a way of communicating...But the reality of what the network censors allowed
on prime time undercut all my enthusiasm.
Not only were we pitted Happy Days and Laverne & Shirley, the two top-rated shows, but the
network censors thwarted me from the git-go. Becuase I didn't want to sell-out completely, I got NBC to agree
to reduce the number of shows from 10 to 4, the less the better.
We still managed to deliver an exciting, surprising and provocative show. The show was no vanilla milkshake.
It was poignant. I am proud of the effort"
- Richard Pryor, 1995 from Pryor Convictions and Other Life Sentences by Richard Pryor and Todd Gold
