Very glad Bill Cosby cannot harm any more women.

So sad what this man was really like in the inside. I call that « a monster ».

I was looking for, " dodging Bill Cosby's hands" as an answer.

What an end to his legacy. Took way too long for justice and now I hear he's preaching to his fellow inmates. Embarrassing for the rest of the cast.

People Ask "Why Doesn't The Cosby Show Have More Scenes Of Bill Cosby's Character At Work?" The Answer?: He Plays Dr. Clifford Huxable, OB/GYN. If You Want More Scenes Of Him At Work, The Show Would Have To Be On H.B.O. Instead Of N.B.C.! Seriously, Folks, You Have To Feel Sorry About The Actors Who Played His Children In "The Cosby Show," As Not Too Many Of Them Gained Many "Gigs" Since The Show Went Off The Air And Into Reruns. With The Legal Insanity that Befell Cosby As Of Late, Many "Nostalgia" T.V. Stations Dropped The Show From Their Schedules, Leaving Many Of These Former "Family Members" Without Money From Residual Royalties Generated By These Reruns!-It's Like Seeing The Domino Effect Occur On Stonehenge!-But With All The Stones Falling At Once Instead Of Waiting Their Turn!
