The production company or whomever owns the series has lost all revenue from syndicating The Cosby Show forever. Since a very popular show can stay on syndication for decades, how much revenue is gone? Not to mention "A Different World", if anyone watches that. Many popular shows much older than Cosby Show has been on for decades still creating revenue selling the program to cable networks and local stations to rerun forever. I don't thing many people would watch The Cosby Show or anything else he was in because of this anyway.

Cosby himself and his heirs have lost all that syndication money also. Bad enough Cosby cheated on his wife and all that, but the future revenue of the show. Not to mention probably the woman Cosby was convicted of sexually assaulting is going to sue his estate for millions, not to mention the fifty or so other women Cosby has been accused of doing the same thing. Cosby's children and his wife (if Bill dies) will be broke. Bill Cosby should just release the lion share of his estate to whomever he wishes to bequeath it to, minus money for prison commisary. Personally I think he will die before he sees prison. Doesn't seem to be the suicidal type (top arrogant) but who knows.

I just feel a pity for the other cast members. That show was a part of their life and their legacy. I presume their livelihood too. It's just a shame the whole show is blacklisted because of one actor (though yes he was a big part of the show and production). My favourite episodes were the ones that focused on the kids - they were why I tuned in and why I still re-watch the show.

I completely agree. I tuned in 60% to see the kids and 40% for Clair---I loved when she got fired up!

Give it a few years and stations will start airing it again.

No more Coz, what a bummer! This show was the peak of his career when Bill Cosby was at his funniest, and I loved the banter between him and his stage wife Claire. I can probably pick up the videos pretty cheap now if I want to get a Cosby fix.

Have you considered his 60s NBC adventure classic called I Spy that he was in alongside the late Robert Culp?

Nope, never saw it, that was before my time. My earliest exposure to Cosby was the Fat Albert show which I also enjoyed (and can also be obtained cheaply at the 5 Dollar store)

Not only that, but Lilly Tartikoff, widow of Brandon Tartikoff, the NBC Entertainment president who green lit The Cosby Show, is also probably heartbroken over Cosby's conviction as well, given that her late husband pretty much considered The Cosby Show to be NBC's crown jewel, the program that finally brought the network to ratings dominance again after years of struggling in the doldrums against rival networks CBS and ABC.

Geoffrey Owens: Lost Cosby Show residuals due to Bill Cosby scandal were a factor in working at Trader Joe's (https://www.thewrap.com/geoffrey-owens-says-lost-cosby-show-residuals-factor-trader-joes-job-exclusive/)
“That was one of the many factors that contributed to my decision to take a job outside the entertainment industry,” Owens tells The Wrap. “It did not help me financially.” Reruns of The Cosby Show were pulled from various outlets after dozens of women accused Bill Cosby of rape. “The fact is, yeah, there was a certain amount of money that stopped coming in and that made a difference,” said Owens, who played the Huxtables' son-in-law, Elvin Tibideaux. Owens says the viral photo of him working at Trader Joe's has ended up becoming a "blessing in disguise." “I’m a private person,” he says. “I don’t seek the limelight, but now that it happened, I’m grateful.” In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Owens adds that he has been flooded with a "whole handful" of television offers (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/geoffrey-owens-mulling-handful-tv-offers-1140531) -- and that his former Cosby Show co-stars -- including TV wife Sabrina Le Beauf -- have reached out to him. "I imagined the worst-case scenario to brace myself, and it somehow managed to be worse than I expected," he says. "The pictures of me, the words that were used to describe me, were so demeaning. It was humiliating, acutely, for a very short time — and then there was this amazing rescue from the world."
