This one was tough. Watching the show was a simple enough process, but the many, many different critiques, commentaries, and academic papers I read added a lot of time to making what is now my longest video ever. And to make it even tougher, Bill Cosby was released from prison when I was nearly done the whole thing. I inserted a bit of extra info to include that information, but if he's done or said anything terrible since it happened (which seems likely), the video won't include that information. 0:00 - Intro 1:18 - Before The Cosby Show 6:59 - Meet The Huxtables 12:23 - The Early Years, Seasons 1-3 41:09 - A Different World 45:29 - Growing Up, Season 4 & 5 55:19 - Come On, Let's Go, Season 6-8 1:26:32 - The Huxtable Legacy 1:32:31 - In For A Pound 1:36:51 - What Bill Did 1:44:03 - A Farewell If you're so inclined, I'd appreciate any support using the links below.
