The Cosby Show

Hyman, Ethel Ayler and Joe Williams.
The creators of “The Cosby
Show,” Tom Werner and Marcy Carsey, got the idea for the show after watching, and thor- oughly enjoying, “Bill Cosby: Himself,” a concert film. They decided it would be a good idea to build a television series around life and family, two of the main focuses of Cosby’s stand-up act.
Initially, Cosby had a blue-
collar family in mind, but Carsey and Warner convinced him otherwise.
“The Cosby Show,” which
is seen regularly in syndica- tion, was the winner of two Emmy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, three NAACP Image Awards and 11 People’s Choice Awards. —SVH

Praise Dancers are popular
but I am among those who find them annoying. If I am at a church service, one of the last things I want to see are ladies in tights “praising the Lord” in modern dance. Among other things, it is distracting.
BETCHA DIDN’T KNOW...
