Movie Reviews of The Richard Pryor Show, Vols. 1 & 2 plus Bonus Disc
Movie Review: Dated and disappointing, but that WAS the 70's.
Summary: 2 Stars
I had hopes that this collection would make me laugh, but the laughs were few. The "comedy" was very dated and disappointing, don't bother to purchase this unless you want to see what happens when network censors control the creative, comedic effort that was Richard Pryor at the time.
I recommend his later work that was not controlled by TV censors.
This is a nostagic look back and nothing more. It was interesting to see the young faces and developing talent of some of the cast members.
The most entertaining part was the "roast" and you can see that on YouTube.
