The Cosby Show was certainly popular, but it
was more than just a ratings-getter. The show
was a landmark in African American television,
and like Family Ties, it was the perfect sitcom
for the Reagan years: money was plentiful, nuclear
families shared laughs and tears, and everybody
left with a warm fuzzy feeling. Life may not
always have been like The Cosby Show, but Bill
and his TV family made life look pretty darned
good.
