I agree with you except for the last sentence.
I didn't like all the hand wringing about the rape scene from the reviewer.
This is a show with women at it's very core starting with the source novels.
One should hold their PC tongue until they are certain that abuses have been made.

I don't know either but my guess is her work at the hospital healing people means she has "powers" to illiterate street thugs of the day.

Only if it's with a Gatling gun.

No.
Watch Disney's Snow White for more information.

I like this feature a lot but maybe your numbers were a little high.
Then again I only care about the little guy.
He's far and away the best actor and gets the best lines.
His eunuch buddy makes a good Laurel to his Hardy to boot.

I kinda think she did that on her own.
I'd like to think HBO would spring for better snacks than store brand popcorn.

Not since Joni Mitchell's "Blue" has female angst been so powerfully expressed.
It's a landmark achievement.

I think this performance should move Sarah Gadon to the front of the TV casting line.

Clearly they followed the time honored show biz goal of 'leave them wanting more.'

Since I didn't notice it I wouldn't go all the way to "super distracting."

I hope one of the trades breaks down how he did this. That cast would have cost say NBC or HBO a metric ass ton of dough. So I guess they are woking against the back end. Still they would have to get scale and the studio, techs and stage hands all have to be paid so it's probably 7 figures to get this on its feet. If…

Calm down.
It's outstanding.
But it's not even the best miniseries this season.
Still who saw this coming from Louis C.K.?

Imperialism is not an aspiration.

If it were a Cosby Exhibit I would agree with you, but it's not, so I won't.

Only someone ill-informed of the early '60s TV could write "be that as it may."
Until all this broke Bill Cosby won nearly every major award this country offers including The Presidential Medal of Freedom.
While I am all for having those honors revoked his place in history cannot and should not be fully erased.
It is all…

Nonsense.
I lived through it.
It was a major achievement when Bill Cosby appeared on Ed Sullivan and made my entire Boston Irish Catholic family laugh out loud.
Living in the 'burbs inside 128 I had never even seen a Black American except on the news… and it usually wasn't good.

Not if you are showcasing black people on early 1960s TV.
It's an embarrassingly short list.
MLK himself had to talk Uhura out of quitting Star Trek because he thought her role on TV was too important.

The 60s are what the museum has on display.
But The Cosby Show was a huge accomplishment.
