Don't know how often this has been in reruns over the years.

In Chicago the local CBS affiliate would air this either early in the mornings or late at night and maybe weekends when no sports were being broadcasted.

Too bad BCS didn't end up on the other local channels and the only time I remember any cable broadcats was on CBN, probably as a result of Bill's success with TCS they probably thought they could revisit his early work.

The great Carol Kaye on bass guitar.

I LOVED this song when I was young and still do. Looking back, I think it was the first touch of cool and funky and groovin' soul injected into my lily-white, young and innocent, middle-class, suburban life.

Kinda weird to see a show where they actually ran the credits slow enough that someone could read them. These days the credits go so fast you could get a seizure by watching them.

I remember this being on CBS Sunday afternoons in the 1970s. I am not old enought to remember this being new. I was only two when it premiered. Netflix is showing it on their site now.

@StuntmanJackR Are you sure it was CBS itself or did you just happen to have grown up in the Chicago area and saw it on WBBM-TV?

I didn't see this show until it ran in syndication every weeknight during the mid-1980s.

This show replaced The Mothers in Law, also sponsored by P & G. Apparently P & G owned the 8:30PM EST time slot. I think at one time the first prime time version of Let's Make a Deal aired at this time slot, too.

In the lower left hand corner in the original NBC telecasts, a Procter & Gamble product was seen (often Crest, as in- "'THE BILL COSBY SHOW'...brought to you by-- Crest, accepted by the American Dental Association. 'Fighting cavities is the whole idea behind Crest'."}...P&G was his sponsor.
