TV Land Pulls Cosby Repeats
[su_right_ad]It’s not getting better for Bill Cosby.
Basic cable network TV Land has now yanked all syndicated repeats of his iconic NBC series The Cosby Show, a spokesperson for the channel confirmed.
The move follows NBC canceling the development of a new prime-time sitcom starring the actor-comedian, and Netflix postponing the debut of its Bill Cosby 77 stand-up special.
Cosby faces mounting rape allegations from several women, including from when he worked on The Cosby Show, which ran from 1984 to 1992 on NBC. On Tuesday, former supermodel Janice Dickinson became the latest to accuse Cosby of sex abuse. The actor has denied all the allegations through his attorney and has refused to answer questions regarding the matter.[su_csky_ad]

Maybe we are evolving as a nation, the fact that networks are running away from the money because of the rape allegations give me hope

Yeah. This is a good thing. Shame his guilt is part of my childhood though.

Guilty until proven innocent, huh?

Its sad to see the entire show take a hit and even worse when the other cast members have to avoid all the bad news

I have a concern/doubt/ about these pro ported rapes. Why haven’t we heard about this until now? Surely with so many victims someone would have come forward years sooner, what am I missing here?
