Uptown Saturday Night(1974)

Let's Do It Again(1975)

A Piece Of the Action(1977)

These two had a great chemistry in the 70s. My favorite of these movies was Uptown Saturday Night. It was more street and real. Let's Do It Again was good, but it was a little bit of a fantasy. It was funnier though than Uptown. A Piece of the Action was ok, but not as good as the first two. Let me just say for those who haven't seen any of these movies, Bill Cosby was nothing in these movies like the Bill Cosby you all know today.

The only one I've seen of those is "Let's Do It Again" (1975). I loved that one and I have it on DVD. I'll have to check the other two out.

I highly recommend Uptown Saturday Night. In my book, Jeff, you have to watch Uptown Saturday Night before you watch Let's Do It Again. Let's Do It Again was the sequal, but they played different characters. Same personalities, but different characters.

I love Sidney!
In" To Sir With Love"and" In The Heat Of The Night".

What fabulous actor he is!

I like Bill Cosby too . His comedy albums in the past are so dang funny! He really got to the root of kids. Like their fears and stuff!(ie: Monsters under the bed, etc,.....)

My younger brother just loved listening to his comedy albums back in the 70's.
