who gives a shit whether the actors are white, black, hispanic, chinese, japanese, russian, arab, hungarian, etc.? if the show is funny and/or entertaining, it really doesn't matter where they come from.

@KratostheThird We had Everybody Hates Chris. Doesn't that count as "racial comedy"?

It's because the '80s were overrated.
Humor in sitcoms was the best in the '70s. Then after that it started going downhill.
Today we have talent shows and canned sitcoms that make even the crappy shows of the '80s-90s superior in comparison. We've made huge strides in technology, yet went backwards in racial comedy.

@demikede1 The Cosby Show was not the first sitcom to show wealthy African Americans (The Jeffersons), nor the first to show a strong African American Family (The Jeffersons, Good Times, What's Happening!!). I really don't get why The Cosby Show is put on such a pedestal. It really wasn't even very funny, not compared to All In The Family or the other '70s shows. It was simply Bill Cosby teasing his kids for a laugh.

@Hharl1 Same goes to Edward James Olmos of East L.A. was of Hungarian Jewish ancestry (his mother's side), Geraldo Rivera who's Puerto Rican from NYC had a Jewish mother, Shakira from Colombia had a Lebanese father and Salma Hayek from Mexico has a surname common among Middle Eastern groups like Syrians & Armenians. Today, Latinos are a part of American pop culture, yet we speak of Latinos maintained a cultural identity, but usually in their own ethnicity/nationality, not solely as "Latinos". +

@Ivan2788 Desi Arnaz (Cuban) was in the very start of prime-time comedy in the 1950s, before the Castro regime in Cuba triggered an exodus of refugees later in the 1960s. It is important to recognize Latinos, Asian- & African-Americans participated in prime-time, not just stereotypical minor characters. The Cosby Show for example, Family matters, the Hughleys, My wife and Kids, Modern Family, and the George Lopez show were successful. Also mentioned is All American girl starring Margaret Cho. +
well too bad for the suckers that dont get the LATIN humor....we have to be the ones with the most sense of humor ever.....besides this show wasn't based on latin or hispanic humor what so ever it was a mixture of everything I believe, so you can take your stupid comment back pinche jente racista!!
