 Biography for Bill Cosby   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
The Cosby Show led what was considered by many at that time to be the best night of television: the line-up included "Night Court" (1984), "Hill Street Blues" (1981), and "Family Ties" (1982), which all followed The Cosby Show.
Cosby never seemed able to top the success of the Cosby Show; his film Leonard Part 6 (1987) was considered to be one of the worst American films in history and may have contributed in part to his downfall as a film actor, along with his performance in Ghost Dad (1990).
When "The Cosby Show" (1984) was ruling the NBC line-up in the mid-1980s, he insisted that his newly produced show, "A Different World" (1987), a spin-off of the Cosby Show, follow after his show instead of the hit "Family Ties" (1982).
