The Cosby Show is an American television situation comedy starring Bill Cosby, first airing on September 20, 1984 and running for eight seasons on the NBC television network, until April 30, 1992. The show focused on the Huxtable family, an upper-middle class African-American family living in Brooklyn, New York.

According to TV Guide, the show "was TV's biggest hit in the 1980s, and almost single-handedly revived the sitcom genre and NBC's ratings fortunes". Originally, the show had been pitched to ABC, which rejected it. Entertainment Weekly stated that The Cosby Show helped to make possible a larger variety of shows based on African Americans, from In Living Color to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The Cosby Show was also one of the first successful sitcoms based on the subject matter of a standup comedian’s act, blazing a trail for other such successful programs as Roseanne, Home Improvement, The Drew Carey Show, Seinfeld, and Everybody Loves Raymond. The Cosby Show along with All in the Family are the only two American programs that have been #1 in the Nielsen Ratings for five consecutive seasons. The show spawned the successful spin-off A Different World.

Having aired for 201 episodes, The Cosby Show is the third-longest running U.S. comedy with a predominantly African-American cast, surpassed only by The Jeffersons and Family Matters.

The show focused on the Huxtable family, an upper-middle class African-American family living in a brownstone in Brooklyn Heights, New York, at 10 Stigwood Avenue. The patriarch was Heathcliff "Cliff" Huxtable, an obstetrician. The matriarch was his wife, attorney Clair (Hanks) Huxtable. Despite its comedic subject, the show sometimes involved serious subjects, such as son Theo's experiences of dealing with dyslexia, which was based on Cosby's real-life child Ennis, who was dyslexic.

Cosby had an unusually high level of creative control over the show. He wanted the program to be educational, reflecting his own background in education. He also insisted that the program be taped in New York City rather than Los Angeles, where most television programs were taped.

One of the decade defining sitcom of the American television history the cosby’s show, casting majorly William Henry bill cosby, aired first time ever on September 20,1984 and uneasily completed its eight seasons until 30 april,1992.considered as the biggest hit of 1980’s the show highlighted the living style and the experiences of upper class African Americans “huxtable family” living in Brooklyn Newyork.

As the ratings of TV SHOWS indicate the show was the biggest hit of its time and remained at the top of list of sitcoms and of the NBC’s shows. The show initially pitched to ABC got rejected there. The show also proved as an inspiration for the forthcoming African American shows from “in living color” to “the fresh prince of Bel-air” and also the first sitcom highlighting the subject matter of a standup of a comedian’s act and a kind of promotion for the new series like Seinfeld, Ellen, Roseanne, Home Improvement, The Drew Carey Show, and Everybody Loves Raymond. Being one of the only three shows that remained no.1 on the list for consecutive five years the show got massive appreciation, other two are American idol and All in the family.

And as of 2010,this show with its predominating African American cast is the 3rd longest running comedy

HISTORY: in the early 1980s two producers of the channel ABC left their channel and started their separate company, decided to start a sitcom with a big name as cosby who has played many roles in 1970s as a comedian and produced an award wining stand-up comedy albums. Apart from playing roles in different film cosby at that time was also running his cartoon series of fat Albert and cosby kid.

The producer after watching cosby stand up comedy decided to start a new sitcom with him with the main theme of the life and observations made by cosby in life…cosby added his own ideas about the family in the initial theme that: the family with its high profile consists of a stay at-home mother and a limousine driving father with 2 daughters and two sons later on cosby convinced the producers to change the role a bit with a lawyer mother and doctor father. Hence both in the challenging field the main focus of the show stayed to present the whole situation in comedic way
