I'm sayin the theme song is a killer jazz riff. That's the most memorable part of the show.

I can remember watching reruns of this in the '80s while "The Cosby Show" was airing every Thursday. Even as a kid I could tell the earlier show was *far* better than the later one.

I used to watch reruns of this on CBN (which is now ABC Family) during afternoons in the 1980s. For the record, Cosby originally studied to be a PE teacher, which was the inspiration for his character on this series. During college, he worked as a bartender and realized he had a talent for entertaining patrons with his funny stories, and eventually tried his luck at stand-up. Needless to say, it paid off.

My favorite episode was the one where the little orthodox Jewish boy, who was a great baseball player, couldn't play on the Sabbath and felt he was letting the team down. Cosby set him straight. I also liked the episode with John Marley who was a millionaire and built a replica of his New York neighborhood so he could try to recapture the happiness of his childhood. Great writing.

he loves to play around wit his name on all of his shows until its so confusing to differentiate from one show to another.
@raydog699 It's not exactly "tokenism" (news flash: just because a person isn 't - gasp - a white male doesn't make any job they get automatic tokenism). In the US, something like upwards of 25% of people AREN'T white (a number which will continue to rise), and more than 50% are women. People actually LIKE Bill Cosby, which no doubt has probably made him a well-known celebrity for 50 years. Steve Harvey, now that probably IS tokenism. He doesn't seem like a very nice person in real life.
