    And now for something I would have had sooner; but had misplaced the tape and didn't realize I have found it again until recently.
    Anyway, this promo is for the April 30, 1992 2-part final episode of the Cosby Show ("And So We Commence"); beginning with a reference to the series being effectively the crown jewel in NBC's 1980s comeback from worst to first.
    With April 30 ending up becoming the 2nd day of the Los Angeles Riots over the clearing of the cops involved in the incident with the Rodney King arrest; on NBC's Los Angeles station KNBC, Bill Cosby attempted to cool things off by asking the rioters to settle down and watch that last episode (which in the original airing also had NBC do a three-minute thank you).

    The night of the finale (1992) was during the height of the LA riots--Cosby made a public announcement that night that aired in the Los Angeles area (KNBC) for everyone to stay home and watch the finale in attempt to defuse some of the tension

    I can't believe that this promo aired on April 29th. The first day of the L.A. Riots. Interesting.

      You're right but I remember when the series finale aired on April 30th, 1992 a montage aired right after. The montage started with "1983" and showed a newspaper article about an ABC network exec saying "Situation comedy is dead" back in 1983. Then the whole montage started with the Cosby Show from 1984-1992 defying the those words and reviving the sitcom genre. Also ABC was the first network offered the Cosby Show and they rejected it.
