[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been watching clips of him from The Cosby Show. Forgot what a good, quality family show that was. Set aside Bill Cosby the man, but Cliff and Clare were such strong parents. You hardly see anything like that on family sitcoms today and our society is worse for it.

RIP Malcolm-Jamal. You were a good one.[/quote]

I wish The Cosby Show was still a thing instead of our kids all online watching who knows what.

Nearly every kid in America sat in front of the TV each week to watch the Huxtable kids.  We all experienced the same shared cultural lessons at the same time.  If Theo got a lesson not to fall victim to peer pressure, or Vanessa got a lesson on how to cope with sadness when you feel left out, or Denise learned to deal with consquences from sneaking around, we all got that same lesson.  It really was a beautifully crafted show, that helped to raise a generation of kids. I wish we had that same positive  weekly shared experience for our kids as we had on Thursday nights in the 80s.

My brother was also one boy in a sea of sisters.  We had so many laughs at the parallels of my brother's life and Theo's.[/quote]

It was a really great, thoughtful, clever, insightful show. Really a masterpiece.

I loved a Different World too.[/quote]

Yes!

When you started to age out of Cosby, you graduated to a Different World.

I didn't care for Denise at college, but loved Whitley.

I think Theo at college would have been a much better character to spun off than Denise.[/quote]

+1. Denise was the least interesting character on the show.[/quote]
