Default I have finally come across this rare 1972 show......."The New Bill Cosby Show"

Original CBS airing of the New Bill Cosby show. I thought I would never see this. It was a variety show and it is 50 mins of dogsh%t

I fell asleep watching it and can see why it finished #58. Seem like it should have been last

I had forgotten that Foster Brooks came from this. That was a standard character running back into radio and vaudeville - a comic drunk who would then turn around and sing a ballad.

I seen many variety shows from the 70's and enjoyed these shows a lot more than the New Bill Cosby Show

I watched the ep and thought that it was so so the odd thing about the ep is that peter sellers is funnier than cos here that night have been one of the problems with the show when the guest is upstaging the star on the first ep you know its going to be trouble
