Cosby Travel Guide

Cosby is an Emmy, Golden Globe winning situation comedy television series broadcast on CBS from September 16, 1996 to April 28, 2000. although the shows are different, fans say that Cosby is a continuation of The Cosby Show, four years later.

Cosby played grumpy Hilton Lucas, a man forced into early (and unwanted) retirement. His wife, Ruth, was played by Phylicia Rashād.
