TallPaul,

I got it the day it came out. I haven't seen all of the specials yet but:

The most beautifullest things on it so far are uncut The Richard Pryor roast; the joke being that it's a ghettoized version of the Dean Martin roast, and instead of an elder statesman comedian i.e. dinosaur (Lucille Ball, Jackie Gleason) getting dissed by fellow old timers like Bob Hope, Here's a popular young comedian getting beat on upon by young unknowns (Sandra Bernhard, Paul Mooney, Robin Williams and John Witherspoon, real unknown...huh). The highlights being Paul's Roast, the last brothas's roast and Richard's replies. I thought it was harsh when he called Marsha Warfield a "gorilla" but it proved his power of perception and foretelling of future events because not ten years later she started looking just like a gorilla with a jheri curl,(see 'Night Court'(1986) and 'Uptown Comedy Express' (1987), Mo' Funny (1990) and probably the Present(2004). The reason the comment about Marsha struck me is because that is the best she's ever looked with the black Farrah Fawcett hair and all. As a matter of fact, i rubbed one off to the image of a 1977 Marsha Warfield that night. And I think Rich called Sandra Bernhard an 'ugly white girl'. He called that one right (but I used to jerk off to her back n the day, because she's sexy as hell) and I think he ripped on Robin William's hairy arms too. I'll go back and watch that again.

But the thing that made me laugh out loud the hardest so far is the Q & A outtakes. Some sista asked Richard what he wanted most or somethin' like that. Rich said he wanted to date white woman and have "y'all leave me the fuck alone".
He looked pissed fo' real too when he said it. I cracked the fucked up for a lone time, I don't know why.

Yeah, I just finished watching mine and this is just a beautiful, beautiful set to own. Any true Pryor fan has got to have these. I see why they kept this one under wraps for so long. The shit is so cutting edge and inventive it's hard to imagine anything that commited making it on network TV or even cable today. Chappelle is close but no cigar. Rich was and still is defintely one of a kind. I'm glad I got to grow up and be witness to some of his great talent. We'll never see another one like him.
Thanks again, Mr. Pryor! Much luv from D-Town!
