I never understood that ~Tropical Punch 19~ 08-18-2002, 02:27 PM Well, I think it was called "cosby Show" cuz it was Bill Cosby's idea and his show. I am not sure though, that is just my guess. I ahve always wondered that too. TVFactFan 08-18-2002, 02:36 PM Originally posted by Rudy and Kenny4eva Well, I think it was called "cosby Show" cuz it was Bill Cosby's idea and his show.

I think that was the first time that a title of a show did not relate tothe character in the show-Now there was a show called the Redd Foxx Show and guess who redd foxx was on the show? Redd foxx-see the tiltle relates to the show Janice 08-18-2002, 02:42 PM Originally posted by Rudy and Kenny4eva Well, I think it was called "cosby Show" cuz it was Bill Cosby's idea and his show.

Celebrities such as Andy Griffith, Donna Reed, Bob Newhart, Dick Van Dyke, Mary Tyler Moore, and more recently John Larroquette used their own names. It's not as popular today, but it's still done. It'll probably never happen, but if Tom Hanks ever stars in a sitcom, you can bet it will be called The Tom Hanks Show. :D GoldenFamilyTies 08-18-2002, 06:22 PM Originally posted by JanLady617 You're right, that's the reason.

And I think it was a good title for the show. And it sounds good when you say it. |
