Bill Cosby heads back to prime time with sitcom on Good Parenting

By Your Black World

     Bill Cosby’s The Cosby Show quickly became an American TV classic, so if Cosby wanted to retire at the age of 76, he could do so knowing he created one of the most popular TV shows in history. Cosby, however, isn’t slowing down and is reportedly working on another show which teaches the lessons of good parenting.

“I based the series on two important things: No. 1 …  I hated those series where the children were brighter than the parents, and those parents had to play dumb,” said Cosby in early summer. “No. 2 was that I wanted to ‘take the house back.’”

Cosby confirmed to Yahoo TV that he is creating a new TV comedy series but insists that it’s not based on The Cosby Show.

“I want to be able to deliver a wonderful show to [a] network,” Cosby said. “Because there is a viewership out there that wants to see comedy, and warmth, and love, and surprise, and cleverness, without going into the party attitude.”

Cosby went on to say that he’s trying to offer viewers what they’ve told him they want in a family sitcom.

“They would like to see a married couple that acts like they love each other, warts and all, children who respect the parenting, and the comedy of people who make mistakes. Warmth and forgiveness. So I hope to get that opportunity, and I will deliver the best of Cosby, and that will be a series, I assume, that we could get enough people week after week after week to tune in to, to come along with us.”
