How old are you? No one said the Huxtibles were anything but fiction. It was scripted... The Huxtible family script was supposed to show that black families could be successful. Him a doctor, her a lawyer. I enjoyed the humor. It made me smile. It was modeled pretty much of Bill Cosby's family.. One son and 4 daughters.

The thing was the blacks didn't like the show because it was too 'white' for them. I liked I Spy also and I also enjoyed his stand up.

He is intitled to his opinion the same as you and me.

My opinion is I agree with Cosby on this one.

Osborne makes me cringe.

You seem to have a problem with anyone who doesn't agree with you.

I too enjoyed The Cosby Show and his stand-up comedy.

But a fictional family should not be held up as a standard to attain and strive for. REAL families should be.

And you are free to agree with Cosby on this issue as I am to disagree with him and you.

But when you start to hold up a racist, unfaithful spouse, as someone to admire I have to question your judgement.

Cosbys private life in no way reflects or mirrors his public life and public pronouncements.
