bingolong,

I already have purchased Richard's Show on DVD.It was ahead of it's time when originally aired( I was in 8th grade).
I remember alot of it , because the next day in school , we would repeat it all !
But I didn't know I could get Mr Peabody and Sherman on DVD ! Now that's a keeper.

bcddjjsc690, okay you have to love this quote by Richard

"One week of truth on TV could just straighten out everything. One hundred and twenty-seven million people watch television every night; that's why they use it to sell stuff. They've misused it a long time so now it's just a business, that's all. They're not going to write shows about how to revolutionize America. The top rated shows are for retarded people."

bcddjjsc690,

I wasn't around when it was aired.....but I must say that it was amazing to watch it on DVD. The scene with the gun shop is still so apt today, and the titanic scene kills me!!

I don't know how many times you can call Pryor a genius, but it'll never be enough!!

Peace gee
