[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sadly due to lack of resources in the country, I read that there was no lifeguard on duty when Malcom drowned.

I also read that there were signs warning ⚠️ of drowning which I have never seen on a beach.

I’m saddened at this loss - Malcom was a great 80’s actor as Theo Huxtable.
He was funny, charming + oh so adorable.
He will be missed.

[b]Sadly his death is being overshadowed[/b] by Ozzy’s death. :([/quote]

I don't think so, [b]people just don't know Malcolm[/b], he hasn't been incredibly famous for decades.  I haven't heard his name or seen his face in years.  [/quote]

White people?

I am not being difficult, but I think this is cultural thing. He was not as popular as he was in the 80s, but he was still very known and loved. He was involved in many projects over the years, and he’s had several very public relationships.

What a silly comment.

Theo Huxtable was loved by a generation of kids, of all colors and backgrounds.

He is not as well known now because of the me too movement cancelling the Cosby Show, even in syndication,  punishing the ensemble cast, not just Bill Cosby.[/quote]

This.

Fwiw the Cosby show holds up well. It’s still funny and endearing. If you haven’t heard Claire Huxtable lecture her kids, you are missing out. I’ve literally sent my kids links to clips from the show as funny teachable moments…and when I don’t have the words to convey what Claire so aptly expressed.

Everyone should watch/rewatch that show…and perhaps remember or learn what Gen X understands:[b] the fact that a sitcom about a black family was the most popular show on tv for many years demonstrates that American society was actually not as racist or divided as some choose to believe these days.[/b] Everyone watched that show and everyone loved those characters. MJW was a teen heart-throb and so was Lisa Bonet. Claire Huxtable prompted tons of girls to go to law school—including this white girl. Americans of all races and ethnicity aspired to have a life (and home and family) like the Huxtables. [/quote]

I'm a white GenXer who loved the Cosby Show and understands that there was and is a lot of racism in American society. The fact that we all watched a show with the "right" black family (wealthy, suburban, non-threatening to white audiences) doesn't mean there was no racism. But we white folks could feel good about the fact that we/society weren't racist because we loved the Cosbys, or later because we voted for Obama, etc. [/quote]

I'm a millennial but I used to watch The Cosby show and they didn't really show off their wealth. There was no butler or anything like that or there wasn't a Hillary Banks in the show and it just seemed like a more real and down to earth family that anyone could relate to and I am Hispanic by the way but I grew up watching the Cosby show and other 80s shows.[/quote]
