The CNN documentary series begins by focusing on the groundbreaking shows that came out of the 1980s.

They're NOT mentioning The Cosby Show? Shame on them!

The allegations aside, the grounds the show broke should NOT be ignored. It should NOT be banned form the airwaves. Legacy erasing needs to stop this instant.

If they don't mention The Facts of Life which was groundbreaking for women on tv nor The Cosby Show then i know that they are on that BULLS**t.

Will there be an encore? I missed it last night.

Mr. Television · 04-01-2016, 02:53 PM

If they don't mention TCS then it's a joke.

Are you obsessed with that show?

mets82 · 04-01-2016, 05:04 PM

I missed it. It wasnt that good?? I would steer clear of mentioning the Cosby Show myself. To me, everytime I think of the show now, I think of what Cosby did. And thats a shame because there were some good episodes. This is just my opinion, but to me the show is tainted.

Didnt the FOL actually debut in 1979?

It might be tainted but how do you talk about TV in the 1980's without mentioning TCS. It was the biggest show of the decade.

The Cosby Show is dead to me now. I will get The Facts of Life.
