Reviews

mkaiser-1 Cosby made a decent comeback after such failures like The Cosby Mysteries (hey, it worked for Angela Lansbury, Dick Van Dyke and Andy Griffith!) and You Bet Your Life (an adaptation to the classic Groucho Marx game show. Cosby had some funny moments, but overall Cosby is weak with keeping up improvisation for a sustained amount of time)Madelyn Khan was great on the show, but you could see during her final weeks on the show that she looked ill. Someone else was supposed to play Cosby's wife in the series, but something didn't work out, so Phylicia Rashad was called on to replace her.Cosby thankfully didn't go the route of adding younger children to the cast to keep the show going. That was the start of the downfall of the original Cosby Show.
TedMcGriff008 Sorry to all the Cosby show fans out there, but this show is what the Cosby show should have been. I am a child of the 80s and stayed away from the Cosby show. I found it boring and stupid. Just now I noticed this show being played in the mornings and now, finding myself watching it every day. The show really is incredible. The cast works--I think Cosby and Rashad always have that special chemistry. Also surprisingly it has clean humor, which I really like. However it does touch on more real issues. For instance one of the first eps I saw was the one where the girl from Full House (Denise) is having problems with her father (Sinbad) talking to her about sex. Cosby and the daughter also have a conversation about sex, and condoms. But it was done in such a mature appropriate way, talk about quality television. Cosby knows how to do it. The show just works, and I wish I would have known about it sooner. At least I can still catch the reruns now!
stakes This is a great show, really not of it's time. While most modern sitcoms base a large amount of their humor on sex, this comedy is the kind that you could allow your youngest children to watch, and is still hysterical. Bill Cosby has always been a comic genius, and he continues to be just that on Cosby. Doug E. Doug, an underrated performer, is also a great addition to this show, and looks like he is having the time of his life in every scene that he performs with Cosby. Cosby had a solid run, but after 4 seasons, ended too soon. In another time, this dying breed of comedy may have been more appreciated.
Comrade Genghis Overall the short four-year run of this series was enjoyable. This is due in large part to an excellent cast, including (of course) Bill Cosby, Phylicia Rashad, and the late Madeline Kahn. The supporting cast, including Doug E. Doug and T'Keyah Crystal Keymah, was also wonderful. The show was clean, hip, and classic Cosby. Some classic moments in the beginning; after Madeline Kahn left the series (and sadly passed away shortly afterward), it was never the same. Darien Sills-Evans is a good enough actor, but he was no substitute for "Pauline." In addition, COSBY unfortunately became CBS's dumping ground for government-sponsored "public service messages" disguised as sitcom plots. In COSBY's last days, the scripts weren't as good anymore either; uneven writing in the end was what did the show in, leaving behind some classic moments from the first few years.
