25 years ago NBC debuted a Television show that would give a whole new perspective of an African American family. Sure there had been shows showcasing African American families (Good Times, What's Happening etc) However there had not been one showing an affluent one that educated and made the audience laugh. The show starred Jello pudding pitchman and iconic star of television shows Bill Cosby.
The Cosby Show centered on Heathcliff and Clair Huxtable and their children. Cliff a Obstetrician and Clair attorney juggled careers and a home life. The Cosby Show inspired many different copy cats on other networks (anyone remember Charlie & Co on CBS?) The Cosby show out lived them all and survived until 1992. Below are some of the most memorable clips:
