Is it still okay to watch The Cosby Show?

[Coraline Jones]

I still find this show funny.

“Your mother and I are rich, you have nothing!”

“No 14 year old boy should have a $95 shirt unless he is on stage with his four brothers.”

“You have a girlfriend? *snatches dollar*”

 

[sebn]

If you want to watch it, watch it. If you don't, don't.

 

[Autumn]

You don't need permission.

 

[Meffer]

It would be awkward as fuck.

 

[JeTmAn]

It's fine. Plenty of people aside from Bill worked on it and they deserve their checks.

 

[Contramann]

If you can separate art from the artist then sure. If you find yourself unable to do this then maybe not.

If you want to watch it, watch it. If you don't, don't.

Yep

 

[Cybersai]

No, I wouldn't touch it with ten foot pole.

 

[Dynamite Shikoku]

You might offend yourself. Better stop

 

[AnansiThePersona]

Yeah, sure. It's really just up to you. I dunno if I could revisit it, but you do you man.

 

[Infinity Times Two]

Separate the art from the artist.

I still occasionally watch louis CK standup, it's great.

 

[Ocean Bones]

I couldn't watch a mass rapist play cutesy . You do you.

 

[Wein Cruz]

Do what you want. Don't let the morality police dictate for you.

[ldcommando]

I´ll allow it

 

[Sanjuro]

Can I even eat pudding pops anymore?

 

[iAmPossum]

U really need Era's permission? Like no one is getting physically hurt. You do you.

 

[Random Painted Highway]

You only have yourself to answer for what you watch in your own home.

 

[Medalion]

No, or else we w ill judge you for supporting an evil man.

Naw brah... do whatever you want

 

[GamePnoy74]

‘Gordon Gartrelle’ has been trending recently because of Lando’s shirt in Solo.

Classic episode, yo.

 

[Deleted member 176]

You can if you want. It makes me super uncomfortable because it directly allowed Bill Cosby to rape women and get away with it because people assumed his own personality was the same as his character.

 

[Strafer]

I recently watched The Negotiator with Kevin Spacey. He was fantastic in that movie.

Doesn't change the fact that he's a monster in real life.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Only you can answer that

 

[phantomx]

Absolutely!

Art is art. We can’t start avoiding the history of art cause of what horrible things people did in their personal lives.

This is both terrible and fantastic. He also had comedy bits from the 60s and 70s where he talks about the wonders of "Spanish fly". The crowds loved it.

 

[Cronogear]

I don’t think I would be able to watch it anymore, but if you can go right ahead.

 

[Joliet Jake]

The other actors who were in the show must hate him. All that royalty money off the reruns just vanished.

 

[Fat4all]

if you want bland tv

 

[SwampBastard]

Of course.

 

[Gonzalez]

All the scenes with OJ are even funnier knowing his future.

 

[CoolestSpot]

All reruns trace whose watching to lock them up at later date

 

[John Kowalski]

Whether it's ok is the wrong question. You know what happened, you cannot be ignorant of it, and now either choice is a political statement. The question is what statement you feel comfortable making, because either privately to yourself, or socially with others, you will be making it.

There is no return to childlike innocent appreciation of anything.

 

[Speevy]

People can derive value from something (or not) because they like it (or don't).

You should judge people by how they treat others rather than whose art they consume.

As long as you're not actively contributing to immoral activity because you want that activity to continue, you're good.

 

[Son Lamar]

If you want to watch it, watch it. If you don't, don't.

Yes ima still watch it but yea

 

[Psamtik]

Of course? It’s still totally fine to watch Chinatown or Repulsion, too.

 

[Puck Beaverton]

Someone somewhere is judging you

Still an all time sitcom scene

I loved Baby Driver and I'm not going to let Kevin Spacey ruin it for me.

 

[BasilZero]

This.

Kinda like the stuff that happened with Hulk Hogan, you watch it for the character, not the person.

 

[Mr. Fantastic]

lol as if something like that is gonna make me not watch Se7en ever again, do whatever you want.

 

[Bobo Dakes]

You do you OP. It's not that I'm not allowed to, I just wouldn't feel comfortable doing so. Especially those scenes where he's with patients.

This is probably the ONE Cosby Show clip I could watch and laugh my ass off.

 

[carlsojo]

You can watch whatever the fuck you want. You don't need anyone's permission.

 

[TaterTots]

You don't need anyone's approval. If you like something you like it.
