He created and produced the Emmy-winning cartoon Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids, which began airing in the 1970s and was made into a feature film in 2004. Perhaps Cosby’s greatest contribution to American entertainment and culture is The Cosby Show, which dominated the #1 spot for years. Cosby’s first television special in 30 years, Far From Finished, premiered on Comedy Central last fall. As always, Cosby crafts stories around topics such as marriage and parenting with his singular point of view and renowned sense of humor.
