THE COSBY SHOW

Before Bill Cosby got his comeuppance, he was known as the wholesome patriarch of The Cosby Show. Playing the obstetrician Cliff Huxtable, he, together with his lawyer wife and their daughters, made their mark on TV.

The sitcom tackled issues within the family, including teenage pregnancy and learning disabilities, and audiences were glued. Bill Cosby’s character in the sitcom got him to be viewed as the perfect template for fathers in America.
