"The New Bill Cosby Show"-1972 on CBS

I haven't started my research on this show yet

..'TV Researcher'.

It was an hour-long comedy/variety showcase for Bill, on Monday nights at 10pm(et). There were comedy sketches [including Bill's recurring character, "The Dude"], production numbers featuring Bill and his guest stars, and a supporting cast that included, Lola Falana, Foster Brooks {"The Drunk"}, Susan Tolsky {"The Plain One"}, Oscar DeGruy, and writers Pat McCormick, Michael Elias, Ronny Graham, Stan(ley Ralph) Ross, and Ray Jessel, who doubled as supporting players as well. And of course, Quincy Jones and his Orchestra. It only lasted one season- and I'm sure there are videotapes of most of those shows in a vault SOMEWHERE!!!

Ok I was kind of hoping you was going to bring something to my attention that I didn't know but it was worth a shot-lol Like something as far as-"Actually John Amos appeared in One Episode"

John Amos and Sally Struthers were semi-regulars on the Tim Conway Variety Show in 1970.

I thought you were you going to say John Amos and Sally Struthers were semi-regulars on the New Bill Cosby Show. What does Tim Conway have to do with this Thread?-lol
