	CMT.com : Bill Cosby : Biography
		Before Cosby, fl comics were largely relegated to the so-called "chitlin circuit" of fl nightclubs and theaters, their albums banned from white-owned record stores; after Cosby, comedians of all racial and cultural backgrounds found a home in the mainstream, and were even given the opportunity to prove their talents in major film and television roles.
		Cosby quickly distinguished himself from his peers in a number of ways: not only did his relaxed, conversational style rely on warm, anecdotal childhood recollections instead of one-liners and gags, but unlike other fl comedians, he refused to tell racial jokes or use profanities, establishing himself as a talent suitable for all ages and backgrounds.
		With the program, Cosby suffered his first major artistic setback; although NBC committed to two seasons of the show, ratings were weak, and at the end of the two-year period NBC pulled the plug.
