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. The show was also fitted with a laugh track. An uncredited Rick Dees announced the commercial-bumpers for each show, although Dees announced the commercial-bumpers for CBS Saturday morning overall.
