The Cosby Show

1980s tv sitcom

The family of obstetrician Heathcliff Huxtable gives him more headaches than any of his patients - teenage daughters and a son, not to mention his bossy wife, who is a lawyer.

One of the typical American sitcoms, but with time and constant increase in number of children it slowly became almost parody of itself. Good cast and very good beginning of the series brought a lot of viewers to it. The plot were usually centered around parenting problems, but when their own children were growing up the new waves of children had to be brought in. In latest seasons the children seemed to dominate the whole series which caused a drop of level. Bill Cosby put some great performances in the series, but later they were rare occassions between unfunny kids-say-the-darnest-things kind of scenes.
