Scroll to the 1:00 mark.

This is from the future Pop channel (yes the Pop channel had a COMPLETLY DIFFERENT format back than). You will notice that amongst the specials (most if not all would NEVER air on the Disney Channel today) is the “movie” called: “Bill Cosby: Himself.” (It’s just two hours of Bill Cosby doing stand up comedy).

Considerating what we know now about Bill Cosby, there is NO WAY Disney would air this movie today. Heck, he still could have a squeaky clean image and still there is no way Disney would air it. Now considerating there is mild cursing in this movie, I wonder is Disney edited the profanities out.

Nice find, Frank!

Pretty sure Disney would have edited out any profanities, even mild ones.

It's been many years since I've seen the movie "Big" but I'm thinking that there was probably some mild cursing there too. I do clearly remember a racy joke from it.
