Sherman was the best in playing the role of a TV characteer with a temper and Bill was average playing a Dad in the 80's. Bill was funny at times but Sherman was always Hysterical with that temper tandrum.

I'm not a Cosby fan, and I think Sherman was the best. George Jefferson was a riot.

I personally prefer Cosby, and personally think he's better.
But in all reality -- he was just goofing around, being himself.

Therefore -- Sherman was the better actor.

I like Sherman better. He can really make me laugh and that's something that is hard to do. I like Bill Cosby's standup work better than his sitcoms, especially "Bill Cosby: Himself."

Bill Cosby can't even act regular off camera. I guess he is just a naturally goofy person.

Bill Cosby is the better of the two, IMO.

IMO their acting abilities cannot be compared, as their characters were scripted differently. I don't recall Sherman every playing the serious father role, All in the Family, The Jefferson, Amen, his character was always the same.

I would have to say I enjoy them equally. They are each their best character.

Bill is ok, but Sherman is a far better actor.

Sherman is a better actor, Bill basically just acted like himself on the show.

Bill was only fun to watch when communicating with males. When he communicated with females, that's when the goofy side of him came out

I like both guys equally but to be fair, Sherman was more of an actor than Bill.

Cosby was essentially playing himself.

Bill Cosby is just really dry and not what I consider funny.
