NBC was wary of "The Cosby Show."

Sure, Bill Cosby was a successful advertising pitchman and in-demand comedian. But for all his success, he hadn't had a hit prime-time television show since "I Spy" in the '60s.

I was in the kitchen the other day, cleaning the fridge....ugh. There were some reruns of The Cosby Show. It is still funny. I had several belly laughs and I hope to watch some more of them, while I am working in that dratted kitchen...lol

Dr. Heathcliff Huxtable was great. Bill Cosby the person away from his comedic ability and call it as I see it speeches not so much. Apparently he had multiple affairs. Google his rape allegations and sexual assault history. There is also the long time rumor that Lisa Bonet got her own show because she and Cosby had an affair and spun it as Bonet being difficult on set. If true ummm ewwww!

There was another "Cosby Show" that is often forgotten today.

And I was introduced to Bill Cosby by this show:

Bill Cosby would be the first to tell you that he was as much influenced by others as he, himself, influenced comedians.
