You have probably already heard that Bill Cosby and Katie Couric (amongst other personalities) agree that the concept used on The Cosby Show could benefit the Muslim American community the same way it benefited the African American community. A Cosby-like Sitcom could possibly be used in phenomenal ways to help shed stereotypes of Muslim-Americans by humanizing Muslims in the eyes of many people who have alternatively seen them only in a negative light.
We produced a film that does just that, called "Bilal's Stand" (Sundance 2010) and during one of our festival screening a major Hollywood producer, Thomas Carter (Coach Carter, Save the Last Dance) saw our movie and thought it would be a wonderful idea to make a Muslim Cosby-like show.
We've created this page for everyone who agrees with Thomas Carter, and wants to see the development of this type of show for major network TV. Our goal is to reach 100,000 fans, and if we get there we have a really great chance of getting our pilot green-lighted simply because we've proven consumer demand!
Here are a few easy ways you can support the push:
- Like us on Facebook share the page with your friends/fans and ask them to also help us spread the word. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Muslim-Cosby-like-TV-Show
- Create a short video (similar to a Public Service Announcement - PSA) talking about why you think this campaign is important.
- Write a blog post about our campaign or Tweet us to your followers.
- Sponsor our upcoming contests and offer to give out celebrity signed memorabilia.
congrats!!! SO EXCITING!
