The Cosby Show was an American television sitcom starring Bill Cosby, first broadcast on September 20, 1984 and ran for eight seasons on the NBC television network, until April 30, 1992.

The series was based on comedy routines in Cosby's stand-up comedy act, which in turn were based on his family life.

The show was about the Cosby family, an upper middle class African-American family living in Brooklyn, New York City.
