See, here's my problem: I watched the Cosby Show as a kid, sure, but it isn't my strongest positive association with Bill Cosby. That honor goes to the incomparable Fat Albert And The Cosby Kids.
Seriously, go look up some of those old episodes. Positive black-focused entertainment for kids that, yeah, does the heavy-handed moral lesson thing, but is FUNNY in the process. Every character gets to be fallible, gets to be right, gets to be wrong, and they're all black. There's nothing else in the set with that; it stands alone, a high-water mark nothing else has reached.
And while he was making it, filming those great intros and outros, he was apparently drugging women to rape them.
Well, not at the EXACT same time, there were cameras on him. But in that timeframe.

That's a bad thing to have permanently tainted.
