“Several helpful appendixes, useful chapter notes, and an excellent bibliography make this a worthwhile research tool. A fine descriptive study of Cosby for undergraduates on up.”–Choice
“...Both rigorous and readable, this book could have a wide appeal among many of the millions of people who watched the show every week. It could also provide valuable supplementary reading in both undergraduate an graduate classes.”–Journal of Popular Culture
“The author has gathered together, and analyzed, a vast amount of material on The Cosby Show, and I am sure there is much here that will fascinate those involved in the scholarly study of the television medium.”–Classic Images

Book Description
This volume chronicles the phenomenon of a television program that has commanded first place since its premiere in September 1984. Each week in the United States it has consistently drawn a loyal audience of more than 60 million people, breaking all records for ratings and shares. The show is credited with lifting a third-place network into commanding leadership, advancing the image of black families, being the object of the greatest syndication barter deal in history, and regenerating the sitcom genre. Approached from a systems-theoretical perspective, this book considers The Cosby Show historically, economically, politically, legally, and socioculturally.
