Bill Cosby is coming back to NBC
While NBC has been adrift of late—spending most of its time hanging out with old friends like Michael J. Fox and Sean Hayes and Cockroach, even though it knows they’re just holding them back—it might now be getting some help from its older, wiser, more culturally sustainable father figure. Deadline reports that the network has made a deal to develop a new family sitcom starring Bill Cosby, one that would return the comedian to the network he helped build, and the network to the belief that it’s still the 1980s and everything is fine. It’s so warm down here, like a festively colored sweater.
