How Do We Talk About The Cosby Show? A Retrospective

[TMC]

This one was tough. Watching the show was a simple enough process, but the many, many different critiques, commentaries, and academic papers I read added a lot of time to making what is now my longest video ever. And to make it even tougher, Bill Cosby was released from prison when I was nearly done the whole thing. I inserted a bit of extra info to include that information, but if he's done or said anything terrible since it happened (which seems likely), the video won't include that information.

Quote taken from a YouTube poster:

“How do we talk about the Cosby Show?”

The same way we talk about “the founding fathers” of the USA.

Celebrate what’s good and acknowledge the rest without diminishing its worth.

Done.
