Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Cosby earns its spot. Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate Cosby from the crowd. Cosby is an American situation comedy television series broadcast on CBS from September 16, 1996 to April 28, 2000, loosely based on the British sitcom One Foot in the Grave. The program stars Bill Cosby and Phylicia Rashād, who previously worked with Cosby in the 1984–1992 NBC sitcom The Cosby Show. Madeline Kahn portrayed their neighbor, Pauline, until her death in 1999. The chemistry Bill Cosby and Phylicia Rashād bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. Across 4 seasons (1996–2001), it never lost the thread that made it worth starting. What keeps Cosby from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.
