Looking for stuff to fill the summer TV time. I was a big fan of The Cosby Show growing up, and I'm certain both my kids would love it. If your ignore all the off screen stuff, it's a very family friendly show. Of course, I'm not sure it's possible to ignore the off screen stuff.
Should I let my kids watch The Cosby Show?

First let them watch the Naked Gun movies and listen to Thriller.
Would it hurt them? No. Would it make people outside your house raise an eyebrow if your kids brought up Cosby? Probably, but ehh
Separate the man from the show or I would never watch Usual Suspects again which is unacceptable
Nope guy is a rapist
You should play Eddie Murphy ripping him apart

Just watch A Different World instead.
It's boring tv. Regardless of his rapey history.
So I guess the question is, do you support the removing of statues from former slave holders or confederate soldiers?
It's basically the same concept. People who did bad things and also did great things.

Whether or not Cosbys crimes ruin what was a great family sitcom for you, there is a 100% chance that your kids don't want to watch a 35yr old sitcom.
Its racist if you don't.

My daughter watched the Brady Bunch and Full house.
She never got into Cosby Show.
I watched Leave it to Beaver in the 1980s. Kids will watch good things.
Oh you think the Brady Bunch and Full House are "good things"?

Is he still a drug dealer? Didn't he serve his punishment?

After Cosby serves his sentence will he no longer be a rapist?
He may not be dealing drugs at the moment but he his still a convicted drug dealer.

Rape is a victimless crime?
I like Chappelle's take on Cosby. He said on one hand, he can't forgive or forget the crimes he committed. On the other hand, the Cosby show was one of the greatest shows featuring black people ever made, and Cosby hired psychologists to make sure there wasn't a single episode that could lead to a negative stereotype of black people.
Recognize the good, recognize the bad imo.
Probably too deep a message for a kid though.

Are you saying selling drugs is an equal crime to rape?
While illegal, selling drugs is not a crime I consider heinous. Rape is.

I wouldn't be a life-long listener of rock and alt music if I was judging on their politics. My selection would be very limited. I can't listen to Ted Nugent and Kid Rock all day.
You have to set it aside, OP.

How long do you want to ignore this user?

Let the kids watch if they like it. How many dudes are raping chicks (or dudes) out there saying they learned it from the Cosby show? I watched PeeWee's playhouse and somehow I don't jerk off in theatres.
I don't know, when I watch Home Improvement, I have this sudden urge to sell cocaine.Milwaukees Best Light said:

Big diff between pretending to be Americas dad both on and off screen while being a serial rapist
