Week of 11/14: Celebrating "The Cosby Show"

"The Cosby Show" has a special 25th anniversary release (OK, technically it's only the 24th anniversary, but what the heck.). Whatever the number, it is richly deserved. The program is credited for bringing back the situation comedy, and certainly brought back NBC from the doldrums during the early 1980s.

Much has already been written about the show, so I won't add to it. Instead, here's a link to the very funny scene from the pilot episode, in which Theo (Malcolm-Jamal Warner) tells dad Cliff Huxtable (Bill Cosby), he wants to live like "regular people."

Enjoy, and see you next week. Until then, Happy Viewing!
