The Cosby Show vs. Cosby

Every day on my lunch break I watch Cosby and The Cosby Show on TBS. I'm a big Bill Cosby fan. I think I've seen almost every Cosby Show and every episode of Cosby. Cosby plays pretty much the same charator in both. I think once the kids moved out and other charactors started coming in on the past few episodes of The Cosby Show, it started to suck but the earlier seasons where Bill Cosby gold. I think Cosby is better. It is less a family sitcom than just a regular sitcom. But which one do you think is better?

I'll go with The Cosby Show. Never got into Cosby but the early seasons of 'Show are "gold".

I only caught a couple eps of Cosby, but still watch as many reruns as i can of the Cosby Show. Never gets old, though the later seasons weren't as good, they still were good enough to make me laugh.

Bill Cosby wasn't on Gimme A Break.

The Cosby Show by far is better than Cosby. But for me, I think it's mainly because I grew up watching it every week for years.

The supoorting cast in "Cosby" were awful. Doug e Doug and the red-head. Just not very good at all. And his daughter. It just wasn't very funny.

The supporting cast in the Cosby show was excellent. Literally, everyone except for POSSIBLY Sandra. But Denise, Rudy, Olivia, Vanessa, Elvin, Theo, Claire were all great. And obviously Cosby himself is a genius.

This is a no-brainer. The Cosby Show beats Cosby hands down.

Bill is the man! His comedy acts are still laugh out loud funny. Oh I wish he did another act-- comedy specials really need to come back to TV. I saw him on Letterman a few months ago and the man's still got it!!

Yeah. I tried to watch Cosby, but it was painful.
