Bill Cosby – The Cosby Show

It was “The Cosby Show” that made Bill Cosby America’s favorite dad. As obstetrician Cliff Huxtable, he sat at the head of the family table and ran his family with love and humor. The show redefined a failing sitcom industry and put NBC at the top of the rating ranking during its run.

But the show had its format, and instead of breaking it, the finale handled things “The Cosby Show” way. There was a theme of empty nest syndrome, and the doorbell finally worked properly after years of not doing so. And to top it off, Cosby broke the fourth wall, ending it off with a flurry.
