NBC has scrapped a Bill Cosby comedy that was under development and TV Land will stop airing reruns of “The Cosby Show,” moves that came a day after another woman came forward claiming that the once-beloved comic had sexually assaulted her.
NBC spokeswoman Rebecca Marks said Wednesday the Cosby sitcom “is no longer under development.” A TV Land representative said the reruns will stop airing immediately for an indefinite time. “The Cosby Show” also was to have been part of a Thanksgiving sitcom marathon.
The NBC sitcom and “Cosby Show” reruns joined a Netflix Cosby standup comedy special, which was indefinitely postponed late Tuesday, as mounting evidence of Cosby’s faltering career. They occurred a day after actress Janice Dickinson, in an interview with “Entertainment Tonight,” became the third woman in recent weeks to allege she’d been assaulted by Cosby—charges strongly denied by the comedian’s lawyer. …

You’re innocent until proven...bad for ratings.
I wish they would treat Bill Clinton the same way. Maybe when the demoncraps are done with The Rodham.
Liberals didn’t like his take on the black family
Well the good thing about this is now of course they will expose Bill Clinton for the rapist and sexual assaulter he is while Hillary runs for POTUS on the “equality for women” ticket. Should I hold my breath?
Bill Clinton..raped multiple women, sexually harassed multiple women, and had sexual relations with a woman in the OVAL OFFICE..and people praise this man as a hero..meanwhile, Bill Cosby, ZERO evidence he has done anything wrong..other than the words of a washed up “Supermodel” and some other women(Reminds me of the whole Hermann Cain allegations) and TV Land and other networks shun him
Ridiculous.
how stupid...
This is from a 2006 article.
“But there’s something else, along with the plight of poor people, dogging Bill Cosby. His lawyers have gotten it pushed to the back burner, down to a simmer, and maybe it will amount to nothing, yet there is also the possibility that it will bubble up to destroy him. A young Canadian woman he met in Philadelphia through Temple University is accusing him of drugging her and then, when she was in a near-comatose state, molesting her. It went nowhere legally — the woman, Andrea Constand, waited a year before going to police, it boiled down to a he said/she said (Cosby claimed the sex was consensual, according to ABC News), and the police dropped the case for lack of evidence. But Constand filed a civil complaint in federal court in Philly last year, suing for an unspecified amount of money over $150,000. It is still Cosby’s no against her yes, except for one difference: Thirteen women are waiting to be deposed in the suit; in a court filing, Constand’s lawyer says that all of them — with nothing to gain, with no payout waiting, with their own statutes of limitations run out — have stories about Bill Cosby as well, and some of them will claim a similar drug-and-fondling M.O.”
What will I fall asleep to on Sunday afternoons?
Wow, this story has some legs.
If Cosby did what he is accused of he belongs in the penitentiary!
That said, I think the statute of limitations will save him from prison unless he has pulled this stunt more recently.
Remember OJ finally got his justice on an unrelated beef. Cosby might follow in his footsteps.
If he drugged the women, all bets are off. He will lose a criminal trial outside LA, Chicago and a few other cities.
Uh oh. Lisa Bonet may have to go on food stamps.
rofl
IMO that is the main reason for this witchhunt. I am not convinced of Cosby’s guilt.
Yet...
Jags Raiders Game?
Even Roman Polanski has defenders, but Cosby has nothing.
All of the co-stars over the years, and nothing.
Odd.
People be hating on Obama, so the Rats need a stand-in for him. Hillary's running on Obama's platform, so she has to separate the platform from Obama hate. Cosby is the right color and already pissed off Blacks by telling them to grow up - so he's perfect. So Hillary tells her army of lying skanks to smear him.
Result? White female Democrats be hating on Cosby instead of Obama, and so Cosby politics replace Obama politics, because the Black guy thing can't be acknowledged because that's racist. Therefore Hillary's politics becomes different from Obama's because Obama is now Cosby.
The fact that Hillary creatures carried out the op indicates Hillary was the one behind it, so the calculation has to benefit her. And with Obama tanking over his policies, she's got to separate herself from them even though she shares them, so as not to lose her alarmed white female useful idiot voters.
So, enter the mind op. Because projection ain't just a river in Egypt. In fact, it's charted on procedure diagrams on Huma's laptop.
I dunno. These accusations go back decades. I don’t think that’s what’s going on.
