The cast of The Cosby Show recently reunited for TV Land Awards, where they were given the Impact Award. That TV series was incredibly popular in its day but many don’t know that it wasn’t the first sitcom to bear Bill Cosby’s name.
The Bill Cosby Show was the comedian’s first foray into television after his successful run on I Spy, costarring with Robert Culp. It debuted in September of 1969 and ran for two seasons, totaling 52 episodes.
In the show, Cosby plays bachelor Chet Kincaid, a physical education teacher in Los Angeles. Most episodes revolve around Chet’s experiences around the school, sometimes substituting for absent instructors. Unlike many other comedies of the era, The Bill Cosby Show didn’t use a laugh track.
Mill Creek has released a DVD set of 10 selected episodes from the first season of The Bill Cosby Show You can purchase the DVD set

Back again. Cheers
Best wishes to everybody!
Back again. Thanks
Good luck, everybody!
Yet another try!
I’ve seen two episodes of this show: one with Don Knotts and one with a young high school student who aspires to be a spy, they’ll probably be in the dvd, they were really good
Excited! Good luck everybody
One more chance!
J-e-l-l-o! yum!
Thanks again for the chance. Love the site!
Another try!
Don’t think I’ve seen any of this one. Way before my time, that’s for sure. I’d like to check it out though
I wonder how they picked the ten “best” episodes for this set?
This wasn’t his best, but any Cosby is better than most others.
ahh, been a long time since I’ve seen this.
