The Cosby Show is one of classic TV shows. And if you haven't watched it yet and start with Season 1, you will see why that is. It might have dated (style/clothing wise), but its core values remain intact and relatable. It is really strong, especially the first episode is so good, because while it has morality in its center it is not looking down on the viewer. It is cleverly written and not bound by color, race or anything else some people would like to read into it.
The "family" is put nicely together, though the setting (playing in front of a live audience) limits the set ups a little bit. If you really want, you can see through the blueprints of the show. But that is not a bad thing. And while there were problems (outside the show) with one family member (Lisa Bonet), it is waved into the story somehow.
Unfortunately there comes a time, when the Cosby show is not on its top game anymore. It doesn't get boring, but you can see, that there is no ore family stories/values to be said anymore. Still Cosby is or could be your favorite TV dad ... flaws included!
