The Cosby Show aired for eight seasons on NBC, but it was on the small screen long after the show ended its run because of syndication and its popularity. That ended in November 2014 when the allegations against Bill Cosby went public.
The case against the show’s star caused several networks to stop airing episodes of The Cosby Show. This action has caused issues for Cosby’s TV family. Malcolm-Jamal Warner spoke about those issues while promoting his next project, American Crime Story: The People vs O.J. Simpson.

This show, as well as Bill Cosby the comedian , has always been so beloved that I feel the need to separate the personal man and his alleged sins from the artist’s comedy.

Nor can i all of a sudden not laugh anymore at some of the classic comedy bits the comedian performed. The man allegedly did some terrible things, but the artist did some wonderful things that cannot be erased by his… Read more »
Bet you’d feel VERY differently had one of your loved ones, or YOU, been one of his victims! Stop apologizing for the rapist!!
Fraid NOT Jade … He fooled “everyone”. Heck, Cosby was once held up to be someone who had reached “SELF ACTUALIZATION”, what a tumble and what a shame . Bottom line, people don’t like to be tricked. Not to mention the VICTIMS … my opinion, thanks …
Yes I was and still am a fan. As with any scandal repercussions come and go. This phrase will past and the Cosby Show will return stronger than ever
