For my family, it was a godsend and a revelation. It was a godsend because it was the first show that portrayed a successful upper class black family in which both the husband and the wife were accomplished professionals. And after years of shows depicting all manner of suffering Negroes ("Good Time") and down and dirty colored folk ("Sanford and Son"), we desperately wanted a TV series just like The Cosby Show. It was a revelation because, while we thought the show would be good, we had no idea that it would be so good and that we'd love it so much.
