DAD, PROMISE ME SOMETHING. WHEN MY FRIENDS COME OVER ... DON'T DO THAT: Since we often talk about "tv that's good for kids," I wanted to alert you to a show that our seven-year-old has grown deeply found of lately. It's called "The Cosby Show," and reruns from season one are airing daily on the Centric channel.
Do I have to sell this one? The show holds up remarkably well -- its morals are timeless, and Bill Cosby is an inexhaustible comic resource. I think as a grownup I appreciate the mugging and the physical comedy more than I did as a kid, but there's nothing about the show I'm not enjoying right now.
