They Don't Make Em Like They Used To

I must be getting old because I find myself pining for the good ole days when television was funnier, nicer, and cleaner. Besides watching cartoons with my kids and some sports, about the only thing I like to watch is a good rerun of the Cosby Show. Now that was some funny stuff.

I didn't know it at the time, but it was also revolutionary--a popular show about a successful black family, conservative in their values and also proud of their African-American tradition. The show was an implicit commercial for diversity, but also for the value of education, hard work, and moral integrity. And above all, it was, and still is, very funny.

Enjoy these bloopers from Season 2.
