Cos for Concern

I’m ashamed to admit that I was a late comer to “Cosby” and didn’t get into watching it until well into its popularity.

What hooked me was the consistent sincerity between the Huxtables, most noticeably Cliff and Clair--the honest and truly funny moments shared between two people as husband and wife and caring parents.

What they did or did not do to reflect their heritage should not be a criticism here. The intention of “Cosby” was never to preach but to entertain and, in so doing, inform. When social issues were introduced, they were dealt with and depicted within the framework of the show. “The Cos” got his points across when he had to, thank you very much.

The show gave us humility, honor, respect, honesty and, most of all, love. Its effect on me is one of genuine appreciation and affection and will always remain so.
