    • Trivia
      10 episodes were originally ordered. Pryor walked off the show after disagreements with NBC over the show's time slot and content. Pryor returned, but agreed to produce only four episodes. NBC and Pryor announced that they would produce two specials a year for the next three years to fulfill the 10-episode agreement, but Pryor never worked for NBC again.

    Shocked, It Was Just Four Episodes!

    Oh my goodness! I cannot believe this was just four episodes. But I sure can understand why. Richard Pryor Touched on topics that was taboo back then, but pretty commonplace today. The four episodes were excellent, a little over-the-top, but again excellent, yet, way ahead of our time. I enjoyed those four episodes I wish he could have made many more.
