Aaah, an Oldy but Goody: Cosby Show

As an 80's child, the Cosby Show is way up there on my favourite nostalgia trips down memory lane. Catching an episode of this brilliantly successful sitcom, even today, gives me that warm fuzzy feeling.

So, I'm delighted that NPR's Op-Ed have an episode all about the Cosby Show. The programme examines if it Redefined The Black Family or at least perceptions of it in pop culture. Personally speaking, growing up as part of an ethnic minority family myself, the Cosby Show probably did make me feel re-assured as a child, simply for seeing a different family on a mainstream sitcom. However, as a highly successful show with mass appeal, the race issue probably became a sub-conscious statement.

Have a listen and reminisce, whilst hearing lots of other people reminiscing and talking about this great show.
