The cosbys aren't out for for not acting black enough. That's too good for them. They are out because they pander to old people in the 80's who were still mad at the hippes kids from the 60's. poo poo, there is a loving episode where the girls dress up in ugly 80's leotard out fits and dance to the 80's remake of the song locomotion. Then mom rails against these girl, with a made up fantasy that her daughter is going to end up as a hooker, and more worried about her self image with the other mothers.

You still didn't answer the question. What behaviors lie under the heading of "acting black" (not Black Actors)

Now it's been 17 summers since I've seen my mother

But every night I see her smile inside my dreams
I am going to say nickelodeons My Brother and Me because my aunt got mad that the mom on the show knew how to dance and the audience would catcall her.

She basically hated anything that wasn't white and found black people to be ornamental to whitey, big suprise.

Ah, to be a Hero... Keeping such company...
Can someone explain President Obama to me? Does anyone actually find it funny?

I mean I guess someone must cos everyone's always going "Thanks Obama" or "Obamacare" or whatever the weekly catchphrase is.

Were there two shows called Parenthood or are you making a joke about one of the whitest shows on the planet being a black sitcom

Still, what _did_ happen to Charles s Dutton? Where's he been?

Uhh I think he was in Alien 3, then the last time I saw him was on some deep cable drama that had a clip on The Soup.
He deserved better :(

It's a spin off from The Clintons and All in the Family. There's lots of inside jokes going on that actually go back hundreds if not thousands of years so it can get confusing.

Martin is awesome because Martin Lawrence was slowly going insane during its production run. Also my mom found the character Shanaynay incredibly creepy, which was hilarious.

The only thing I didn't like about Fresh Prince was when they switched the mom.

Even if the show sucked my eight year old self probably still would have watched it for Hilary.

original aunt viv = best aunt viv.

aunt viv wasn't the same character when she became a light skin lady.

Fresh Prince is both the funniest and most heartfelt sitcom of the century, let alone black family sitcoms. I am not fake posting.
Yes.

Yes!

Also, Family Matters is great, black cop Reginald VelJohnson is great, that Key & Peele sketch was great.

Honestly I never really cared that much for anything Cobsy-related though v:confused:v
