This is just terrible. I was so sad to hear it. But nevertheless, it still will not stop me from watching the Cosby Show.

Hopefully the show won't be pulled from TVOne and Bounce because of all this.

Bill Cosby found guilty on all counts in sexual assault retrial

The iconic 80-year-old comedian who became "America's Dad" thanks to The Cosby Show was convicted on three counts of aggravated indecent assault for drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand, and now faces up to 10 years in prison. The former Temple University employee said she had looked at Cosby as a father-figure and mentor until the night in 2004 when the incident at his home took place. Numerous women have accused Cosby of sexual misconduct, but Constand's allegation was the only one to go to trial. The first trial ended in a hung jury last summer. Cosby's conviction is the first of the #MeToo era.

Larry Wilmore on the Bill Cosby verdict: "I still haven't forgotten about you motherf*cker!"

Wilmore has had a special distaste for the iconic comedian, who was convicted of sexual assault today, making a point to devote the entire second episode of The Nightly Show on Comedy Central to his sexual misconduct allegations. "I still haven't forgotten about you motherf*cker!" Wilmore tweeted upon hearing the news. "More importantly, I haven't forgotten about the many women you assaulted and silenced with your power. Good riddance!!!" Wilmore's canceled show devoted a lot of time to Cosby, including an "I Haven't Forgotten About You, Motherf**ker Update." Wilmore explained his dislike of Cosby in The Hollywood Reporter in 2015: "He was never a hero of mine," he said. "I liked Cosby, but I have a different relationship with him than a lot of people because I didn't grow up on The Cosby Show." Also, Wilmore says, Cosby was an "a**hole" to him and his mom when they asked for his autograph when he was a kid.

Didn't Dana Plato once rob a bank and still Di'ffrent Strokes" reruns were not taken off the air?
Didn't Freddie Prinze kill himself and Chico and The Man reruns were not taken off the air ?

This is...sad...

I won't doubt before Cosby goes to jail, he may be gone...

That's kind of an apples and oranges argument. Dana Plato's problems were in effect when Diff'rent Strokes was still on the air. She got fired in the second to last season for getting pregnant (although she was allowed back for several guest spots after that). And plus, if we're going to take into account every single troubled child actor, then many reruns might as well be taken off the air.

A better comparison would be if Conrad Bain (who like Bill Cosby, also played a virtuous sitcom dad) was accused of sexually assaulting women.

Chico and the Man has never done well in syndication or on DVD because of Freddie Prinze's suicide.

It is sad, you’re right.

Bounce has already pulled it. They should just air with with a disclaimer. Or better yet, retitle it “The Guilty Sexual Assaulter Show”.

Wawwie · 04-26-2018, 08:51 PM

Karma finally got Bill Cosby. I don't give a F how old he is. He is a criminal who abuses innocent women. End of story.

YAY for Karma!

Are you honestly comparing robbery and suicide to rape? Wow...

Exactly. It blows my mind how some people are standing by him because they grew up watching him on TV. Like, really? SERIOUSLY?!

It is truly sickening how anyone could defend the monster that is Bill Cosby. It is also dehumanizing to defend that pig. There is no excuse, no explanation either. Bill Cosby is a disgusting, narcissistic pig who deserves the guilty plea because that is what he is.... GUILTY!!!!
