He did it before and he's done it again
4 January 2000 | by (Ardmore, PA) – See all my reviews

The Cosby Show was long gone and people missed it. They missed welcoming Bill Cosby into their homes every week and laughing at his stories and 'unique' form of parenting. Then in 1996, CBS brought us this gem. Not as good as his old show, but Bill Cosby's new show proves just as funny and just as clever. Like his old show, the cast has a lot chemistry. Not as good as The Cosby Show but a great stand in. Hope it has a long and successful life.
