    I still think The Cosby Show was the best family sitcom ever and Phylicia is just the best TV mother ever. Came here after her work on Creed 2. Just class.

  • @StoptheInsanityofRegressivism
    @StoptheInsanityofRegressivism 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    "A standard of beauty, class, and grace...." I have LONG said the very same thing about this precious lady. We are "more alike" because we are ONE human family. All too often interviewers are classless muckrakers looking to twist and distort honest words into so much tawdry trash. She's had a lifetime in the business and she will be nobody's fool to use against a proud legacy or people she loves and cares about. She makes this firmly clear in her graceful correction of the interviewer at the top of this piece. She's on guard, to be sure, but she is always the picture of elegance, grace, class, beauty, and dignity. It is equally clear she will, if need be, strongly and decisively handle anyone who tries to deal dishonestly with her. I imagine she is very selective to whom she will speak and when. She's an American Treasure! Much respect to this lovely lady.

    I know there were predominantly black characters on A Different World and the Cosby show, but those of us who grew up watching those shows didn't think about their race while watching them. Dr. Huxtable's humor was exactly like my dad. The kids were a lot like all of us in high school and college no matter our color. They were both just really great sitcoms. I wish TV would return to shows like these.

    I do understand why the Cosby Show means so much to so many people, including the Black community. But she defended Cosby at the time and said the destruction of his legacy was more important than the women who came forward, and it's unfortunate and perhaps telling that she won't address how she feels about it now. As much as I loved the show myself at the time and can understand why others loved it, even needed it, I can't elevate the importance of a sitcom above the importance of dozens of women's lives.

The interviewer (I think her name is Felicia) I think, knows her place and understands the significant impact and greatness of the woman she’s interviewing. Although Mrs. Phylicia closed out the interview with a graceful “Thank You”, the mere fact that she engaged the interviewer was thanks enough. The Cosby Show was the single most globally transformative television series for black people of this era.
