The Cosby Show
The Cosby Show was an American television sitcom that aired from 1984 to 1992, depicting an affluent Black family in Brooklyn.
The show was groundbreaking for its portrayal of a successful African American household headed by a doctor and a lawyer, challenging racial stereotypes of the era.
Its cultural legacy became complicated after star Bill Cosby's 2018 conviction for sexual assault, which led to the show being pulled from syndication.
