Seriously, I loved the Cosby Show. Great characters, rarely did it lapse into super cheesy sitcom moments, and it pissed black people off huge.
The show understood that it's characters that drive a story, not the other way around. That's why an episode could completely lapse from a story for 10 solid minutes just to let Cosby do his thing. I'm probably gonna post Cosby Show clips in this thread all day.

Theo: You're a doctor and Mom's a lawyer, and you're both successful in everything and that's great! But maybe I was born to be a regular person and have a regular life. If you weren't a doctor, I wouldn't love you less, because you're my dad. So rather than feeling disappointed because I'm not like you, maybe you should accept who I am and love me anyway, because I'm your son.
Cliff: Theo... that's the DUMBEST thing I've ever heard in my life! No wonder you get D's in everything! You're afraid to try because you're afraid your brain is going to explode and it's going to ooze out of your ears. Now I'm telling you, you are going to try as hard as you can. And you're going to do it because I said so. I am your father. I brought you into this world, and I'll take you out!
