I really liked ‘the cosby show’. it was a significant change in the demonstration of a successful, minority family. its funny. it also holds up well; the writing did not date itself too much to the era.
but, ya know… Cosby. can you separate the artist from the art? a part of me feels like i should still be able to enjoy the show even though he is a terrible person.
thoughts?
Yes. It’s a daily struggle finding what shows to support when entertainers get cancelled left and right. Hulk Hogan, Kramer, JK Rowling, etc. If we go back further, Lovecraft and Edgar Allen Poe would’ve been cancelled if they were alive today, but we still make movies from their stories. We have to face the sad reality that a lot of great entertainers are not the greatest role models
