The Cosby Show
If I exlcuded The Cosby Show — the godfather of Black sitcom gold — this list would be a travesty. “There probably wouldn’t have been a President in office if it weren’t for the Bill Cosby show,” Oprah said. “The Bill Cosby show introduced America into a way of seeing Black culture that they had not seen before.”Is this true? No one knows. But if it is, the dearth of healthy Black families on TV is alarming — because I know for damn sure that Basketball Wives or Black Ink won’t be raising the next Obama.
