The cosby show
The Cosby show stars Bill as "Cliff" Huxtable and his family living in Brooklyn Heights New York. Cliff works as an OBGYN, and his wife, Clair is a very successful lawyer. In this show you see the two of them raise their kids as well as they can with the typical TV show bumps along the way. Puberty, school dances, college, sports, and just fitting into school. Watching the Cosby kids grow with a side of Bill's humor adds up to be a great show for the family. Aside from it's likable plot, it has also made great progress in the TV industry. Before the Cosby show, African American families were very rare especially in prime-time television. If anything aired regarding black families, they typically stuck to the white audience's stereotypes. When the Huxtables made it to prime-time, they gave people a wider concept of what black families really looked like. The Cosby show was a #1 hit for 5 of it's 8 seasons, and still remains a classic in many people's hearts. This video to the right shows a typical scene showing the humorous side of the family. The cast loved doing things like this, and were a very close knit almost "second family" like most casts.
