I just watched an episode of The Cosby Show. Bill Cosby as a comedian, I like. But this show? Was it ever funny? Did anyone really like it? It seems like the Seinfeld of the 1980s. Everyone watches it because everyone watches it, but no one enjoys it.

I thought that it was alright, but I preferred A Different World.

I watched it back when it was on Nick at Night. It was alright and could be funny at times.

And plenty of people enjoy Seinfeld.

The only thing I truly remember about The Cosby Show, is that I liked the theme song. I always changed the channel after that. I think what truly defined it, is that it depicted an affluent black family in a positive light.

I loved that show. I would watch it all the time whenever it was on. My favorite was when the family showed Theo what being an "adult" was like in terms of having to pay for things.

Least memorable show ever, I probably watched every episode multiple times when it was on Nick at Nite but remember almost nothing.

One exception is there's an episode where Cosby gets food poisoning or something and has a bad dream where characters from Sesame Street show up.

One of the best scenes and I believe it is actually from the pilot episode.

youre conflating two things

theres a great scene in the pilot where cliff shows theo how much things cost with monopoly money

and then theres another episode where the family shows theo the real world and make him rent out his room like a lease and buy furniture and stuff

I like when the TC makes it super obvious how bad their takes are. That way I know they're wrong even if I don't have proper information

Shows like this are trash for simpletons who havent expanded their horizons to find better shows/books/games/movies.

It's for the simpleton who sits down lazily and flips through the channels and just settles for whatever crap is on.

I didn't like it. I didn't ever really like Cosby growing up until I heard some of his Fat Albert stand up comedy.

back in the day, i wasn't keen on another sitcom about an upper middle class family, even if they were black. i was more into roseanne. however i've seen it a lot in syndication over the years, and i gotta say it was really good.

I say what I think about the show and two people offended in two seconds. People like different things. I think it's trash. Too bad.

Even the TC doesn't seem to like it and he weirdly got offended too. Very odd people on CE.

It's a classic show that changed TV sitcoms.

It is hampered a bit by Bill Cosby himself though, and I don't just mean the sexual assaults.

There's several shows I don't like. I tend to like sitcoms but I'm also pretty particular.

Sometimes I like series that aren't even that popular like Still Standing or Drew Carey Show.

I wasn't a fan of Cosby Show though. I'm even sure why, tbh.

It was big at the time. I recall jokes about how if your show was up against it, it's being sent out to die. That said, I wasn't much into it at the time, and as an adult, maybe I just caught a bad batch of reruns, it always felt like "Cliff, Theo, and the rest" as the 2 would dominate screen time with antics and story arcs, and was only notable and funny for the Cosby foibles he brought to the role.

I think he got the Cosby Show confused for something else. No way he was referring to her. I don't want to believe it.
