^ That's "Mr.Cosby" to you :yeah:

[Riffster]

you watched it too? :) Rudy/Kiesha has grown into a very beautiful woman

I was a huge fan of this show as a teenager. However, once they brought Olivia onboard, it was a quick slope down. Cosby is still one of my comedic heroes to this day. Seriously, watch some of his older standup and you'll see just how funny he is without issuing a string of expletives. Then again, when he talks about how his brother Russel thought his name was "Dammmmnit" growing up is hysterical. Same with him thinking his name was "Jesus Christ."

I have a bunch of Cosby' stuff on cd, and i've seen him in concert too, would love to meet him

The Cosby Show got really Funny,.. when the one Daughter Married that one Guy,.. I forget his Name,.. But Him & Cosby Had some serious chemistry on Stage,.. I also love the one episode where CockRoach shaved his Head .. :smiley1:

[jessica]

I hated that show. I think I couldn't hear what he said because his sweaters were too loud.

[Mikey]

I never liked the show either -- but I guess it's because I never cared for Bill Cosby

[Mikey]

I don't like him at all.

He always seems condescending.

[The Toyroom]

[The Toyroom]

He always seems condescending.

He seems moreso as he's gotten older....

[BlackKnight]

Elvin,.. Yes ! :smiley1:

Could you Imagine your Daughter Hooking up with some Dude like that ?.
:rotfl:

[Sideshow Spock]

I liked it fine, but always preferred Family Ties which came on next at 8:30. And then of course Cheers at 9! :hokay:

[The Toyroom]

Elvin,.. Yes ! :smiley1:

I didn't care for the show back in the 80s and 25 years later i still don't like it, I have nothing agianst Cosby as i like Fat Albert as a kid but the Cosby show to me was a highly overrated show and now TV LAND plays the show all night long at times and i wish the tapes would wear out so they can never be seen agian. The Cosby show and Scrubs are tied as the worst shows every made :yuk:

[GlobalObserver]

I like almost everything Cosby did in the 60's/70's, but I never liked The Cosby Show in the 80's.

[Adam West]

Haven't seen the Cosby show forever but I do remember liking it.

Cosby's standup is hilarious...I especially like "Bill Cosby, Himself"

I know the actress who played Rudy was on some show that my kids watch ( I think it is called "You're so Raven" or something like that and they also said she was part of a pretty popular band).

[toys2cool]

I remember liking it as a kid,but I honestly can't watch it now

[vulcan2074]

I loved that show as a kid. I haven't watched it in years :beaming1:

[Bionic Joe]

I remember liking it as a kid,but I honestly can't watch it now Given the choice i'll watch FAT ALBERT over the Cosby show any day of the week, But then i haven't seen Fat Albert since i was a kid so that show may also send me screaming out of the room also :terror:

[The Toyroom]

I know the actress who played Rudy was on some show that my kids watch ( I think it is called "You're so Raven" or something like that and they also said she was part of a pretty popular band).

Your confusing Rudy (Keisha Knight-Pulliam) with Olivia (Raven Symone). Olivia was brought in towards the end (shark jumping: child added) when Rudy and the others weren't cute anymore.

Raven-Symone is the star of "That's So Raven" and was a former Cheetah Girl...

[Goblin19]

The show definitely got unfunny after a few seasons. And yes, I couldn't stand Raven on the show. I hate "precious" child actors. You know the ones who deliver lines like they're adults.

[spiderrogue]

i used to like that show back in the day..but now, i really cant stand it...its hard to explain, without going into a lot of detail or being smacked in the face...

[Cosmicman]

I hated that show. I think I couldn't hear what he said because his sweaters were too loud.

Glad I am not alone. Total dribble.

[saildog]

As a kid, I studied Comedians closely and Bill Cosby was no exception. I thought his stand-up stuff was great.

A lot of those early episodes (along with Fat Albert) were based on his stand-up routines and as such, they were fun. One could recognize the bits that the scenes were playing out. However, both of those shows outpaced the stand-up and wore thin. In total, not a fan of The Cosby Show, but there were bits of genius in the early stuff that I can't dismiss.

[Bill]

I grew up with my dad tormenting me with "The Chicken Heart." never found much of that humor on the show though...

[UnderdogDJLSW]

I think he is great. Loved watching him in I Spy, his Cosby show from the early 70's, et al. My wife and I just saw him in concert last November and it was one of the best things I have ever gone to. I can see where some folks wouldn't have a thing for his style, but I think most of what he does hits a chord with me.

[kingdom warrior]

Bleh!!!!! This show makes me sick! Cosby was great with his stand up. This show is totally over rated...compared to I Love Lucy which the jokes just never get old. Cosby is dated already and just not as funny. Glad Lisa Bonet stood up againts Cosby......

[ctc]

Hmmmm....

I LOVED Cosby's standup; before he had kids. Then it was all about the foibles and wackiness of his children, and the joyful stress of being a dad. BLEARGH! Just as exciting as someone showing me baby pictures.

I HATED the Cosby show 'cos it seemed an extension of this. Truly a show about nothing. No conflict, no plot, just a troupe of non-entities parading around.
