INSPIRATION “The Cosby Show was the original show I remember us watching as a family. You saw strong black role models on television — being funny! You got all these kids in the house, a two-parent home. Dr. Huxtable and Claire, who was a lawyer. It was a different side to things and gave people a different look at what black people could be like on TV.”
