Would you say The Cosby Show is on the same level of entertainment as...........

Although it is more popular.
Like I said, I like all 4 shows, with The Cosby Show being the best.
Followed by The Jeffersons, Sanford & Son and lastly Good Times.

And why do you feel TCS is better than those other shows? First let me ask, have you seen all eps of GT, S&S and TJ?

No.... I haven't even seen all the episodes of The Cosby Show.

I like it better because I laugh more at it. I still love The Jeffersons and Sanford & Son. And Good Times is great, but not one of my top pics. I love Bill Cosby's standup, and for those first 5 years -- it was just a big extension of his standup. Im not saying The Cosby Show is the end-all-be-all, I just prefer it.

I think not. TCS will never been on the same level as these great classic comedies of the 70's. Cliff Huxtable will never be remembered like George Jefferson, Fred Sanford, and James Evans.

No Def not Solomon.... Especially now with people thinking he did this and that............

Those first 3 shows ya listed are pure 70s gold!!

Good Times is very annoying and Sanford and Son is just ok. The Jeffersons became good when it stopped making everything about race. First five seasons of The Cosby Show are good. But it jumped the shark when Olivia joined the cast and had too big of a role.

Good times was good before it was decided that Jimmie (not funny) Walker was to be the center of attention with his catch phrase. Hence the reason John Amos left and then Esther Rolle took off. I think Sanford and son is meh. Same thought here for the Jeffersons and Cosby.

Just my opinion is that the majority of TV shows, not just sitcoms should end after the 5th season. Almost every show I think of loses my interest after that season and gets tiring.

Yea I didnt watch Bills show enough to notice....... I watched it one night when Channel 10 from Rodchester NY came skipping in one night...... I saw most of the episode before WHUC faded.........

I think the Cosby Show was really only funny for the first season or two, which were rooted in Cosby's standup material.

Ya I reckon it was... He had a good stand up thing going...

I say no TCS is a classic to some, but I guess I'm weird I don't find it funny and I know alot of people who dont get (like I do) what some see in this show)

I would say The Jeffersons, etc. are def. on a higher tv plane

I would have to agree the N@N overkill had me burned out from The Cosby Show. When WGN America did their 80s week marathon in the summer of 2008, I did not bother to watch. I mean I like The Cosby Show as much as the next person but my god between the aforementioned N@N overkill and it being in WGN’s regular lineup. I thought “how about something different?” There is no denying the fact however that The Cosby Show was an integral part of 80s sitcoms. Say what you will about Bill Cosby and The Cosby Show but not only did The Cosby Show save NBC but it also saved sitcoms and revolutionized them just as The Beatles did for rock and roll 20 years earlier.

If it was not for The Cosby show there would be no Seinfeld, nonFriends, no Roseanne, Married with children etc.

[BigManMike]

I miss the days of The Cosby Show being number 1 on Nick at Nite. I still love that show.

[Dude111]

Thats an interesting Point Jamey!!

[Fallon97]

Yes. I think that the Cosby show is just as good and just as entertaining as Sanford & Son, Good Times and The Jeffersons.

I love the Cosby Show, The Jeffersons, Good Times and Sanford & Son. They are all great shows.
