I really liked ‘the cosby show’. it was a significant change in the demonstration of a successful, minority family. its funny. it also holds up well; the writing did not date itself too much to the era.

but, ya know… Cosby. can you separate the artist from the art? a part of me feels like i should still be able to enjoy the show even though he is a terrible person.

thoughts?

    Well, he’s not the entire creator of the show. Countless people worked on it over the years and you have to take into account how much supporting the art benefits the artist. Cosby is writing a book and a documentary; I would say supporting those ventures benefits him more than a TV from decades ago but idk. I dont think there’s a right or wrong answer
