This show had to be one of the BEST sitcom in TV history for me, I used to watch it while I was young together with Family Ties, The Wonder Years, Small Wonder & Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
You don't see Sitcom nowadays with such witty and funny antics without using sarcasm. Yeah, sitcoms like "That 70's Show" and "Grounded for Life" are pretty funny... BUT! It doesn't deliver much moral values or good examples like sitcoms before (80's-90's) one. And frankly speaking, I don't seem to look for these show after it ended.
The Cosby Show started airing in 1984 and running for eight seasons on the NBC network, until 1992. The show focused on the Huxtable family, an upper-middle class African-American family living in Brooklyn, New York on how they raise their child and how they settle family matters/conflicts with daily life issues.
Having aired for 201 episodes, The Cosby Show is the third-longest running U.S. comedy with a predominantly African-American cast, surpassed only by The Jefferons and Family Matters.
Fact:
Whitney Houston was considered for the role of Sondra Huxtable.
Raven Symone (aka known as Raven Boxter in That's so Raven) had her debut in this series starting season 6.
According to TV Guide, the show "was TV's biggest hit in the 1980s, and almost single-handedly revived the sitcom genre and NBC's ratings fortunes - Taken from Wiki.org.
My rating for this show...... 9/10!
A must watch for retro TV series.
