Looking back at
season 1 of The Cosby Show, it's easy to forget
that momentous history was being made. Not only
did this immensely popular sitcom hold the #1
spot among all network TV shows for five
consecutive seasons (a record that still
stands), but it promoted an evolutionary
progression that influenced the entire TV
industry from that point forward.
An Emmy-winner
for Outstanding Comedy Series its first year,
The Cosby Show rapidly became to Thursday nights
what The Wonderful World of Color and Bonanza
were to Sundays in the 1960s: a family
tradition. And the best was yet to come.
The Cosby Show
appeared on NBC from 1984 to 1992, becoming one
of the most popular programs in the history of
television. The Cosby Show depicted a close-knit
and prosperous African-American family (The
Huxtables) that dwelled in New York City.
