Default Family Matters and Cosby Show - Equally Entertaining?

I would say they are because I ike the same amount of characters in each show. On the Cosby Show, I like Theo, Cockroach and Kenny and on Family Matters i was a fan of Eddie, Carl, and Waldo. So i think both shows are equally entertaining.

I agree that both shows are entertaining,but for me,Family Matters is a funnier show,and there's no character on the Cosby Show who could compare to Urkel.He's a riot.

Hmmm... Family Matters is a sillier and cornier sort of show so I would say it is less entertaining in a sense...Cosby Show aspires to be something more and doesn't have farfetched plots like cloning storylines. It's hard to say because Cosby has been so overplayed that I would almost prefer to see FM even though to me FM is not as good a series.

I agree.

I find TCS much more entertaining.... but I still like FM a lot.

Bill Cosby is a comic god.

Family Matters, no one can top Steve Urkel IMO. Cosby Show had it's funny moments though.
