William Cosby

The dynamics within a group can change depending on who has the most power. In the film Unforgiven, certain characters take up a leadership role in their specific group. Set in the town of Big Whiskey, a pair of cowboys starts trouble when they cut up a prostitute named Delilah. Since they were not given a fair punishment for their crime, the group of prostitutes, led by Alice, decides to take revenge into their own hands. A reformed killer, Will Munny, decides to go after he cowboys with his…

To Purchase a Position Bill Cosby had said "All around the United States of America - in the cities and the counties - our public education is suffering and has been suffering. Cuts, cuts, cuts." The truth behind this quote is that public education has become financially unstable. Dr. Scott Smith, an assistant professor at Central Michigan University, said “When the school budget has a problem, the athletic budget has a problem.” (Cerling and Herman). Cuts are being made to the…

hard time airing. The attitude to Muslims whether it was justified or not was negative and the show would be cancelled immediately. In 2015 however, the times have changed and this show would have as good a chance as any other sitcom Comedy. The Cosby show was revolutionary in the fact that it was one of the first successful television show about a Black family, which at the time was a TV minority. This show could take the same mold…

American members of the upper middle class, they undoubtedly should have dealt with substantial amounts of discrimination and barriers preventing them from reaching that point. Sut Jhally and Justin Lewis, authors of the novel Enlightened Racism: The Cosby Show, Audiences, and the Myth of the American Dream, argue, “The show never offers [viewers] the slightest glimpse of the economic disadvantages and deep-rooted discrimination that prevent most black Americans from reaching their potential.”…

the time and think back to the Walton’s, Little House on the Prairie, or even more recent The Cosby Show. I do not remember those shows showing anybody in a naked setting. We have allowed our society to dictate what we as families watch. It is now common practice to see the whole backside of a man in prime time television and it does not cause one bit of concern. Movies are no different; Bill Cosby in his book Love and Marriage talks about seeing Jane Russell in a movie and how she was no…

goal so badly that they gave up a good education to have it? Bill Cosby risked his school education on being a comedian and he made it happen. Bill Cosby is a family friendly comedian who has, without a doubt, touched America’s heart. America named Bill Cosby “America’s Dad”, for all of his relatable and personal humor. Ever since Cosby was a little boy, he wanted to be a comedian, and followed his dream to the big time. Bill Cosby may not have had all the education he could, but he made a…

DVD, because I did not want to miss out. There is in my mind no question that this hilarious show, by a man who is one the funniest stand-up comedians I know, is his best work. He did this when, in my view, at the top of his comedic game, and Bill Cosby being a story teller second to none, all he needs to captivate his audience, as this fantastic demonstration clearly displays, are a stage, a chair to place upon it and his own special talent. What I love is that he can pluck the jokes, on…

For the assignment, going retro, I chose to watch several episodes of The Beverly Hillbillies. This was an American sitcom that ran from 1962- 1971 on the CBS network. The show was created and written by Paul Henning and produced by Filmways Television. Both Al Simon and Martin Ransohoff were executive producers for this series which began in black and white but was switched to color in 1965. The shows had several main characters that came in and out of each episode, some of the most prominent…

Ever since about fifty women have come up to accuse the comedian of rape and sexual assault, the public’s reaction to Cosby turned into scorn and disappointment. Many former fans of Cosby turned to platforms on social media (i.e. Facebook and Twitter) to express their newfound shock and resentment for the fallen star. Additionally, many tabloids such as TMZ and Entertainment Tonight continually send in…
