Remember when Cosby sent his own daughter to prison? One of Cosby's victims became pregnant and their daughter, Autumn Jackson, was going to sell her story to the tabloids. But first she very kindly offered Cosby the opportunity to buy the story instead. So, of course, Cosby got her arrested for extortion.
At the time, Charles Grodin had a show in MSNBC and was mad at Cosby for his promos on Turner Classic Movies. Cosby said he liked only old gangster movies because the current ones had too much obscene language. I don't know why that bothered Grodin so much, but when the story broke about Cosby's illegitimate daughter, Grodin was outraged by the hypocrisy.
It was far, far worse than Charles Grodin ever imagined.
I didn't like the The Cosby Show or the wave of discipline-oriented family sit-coms it spawned. Finally culminated in the drama Seventh Heaven the star of which turned out to have sexually abused a few children over the decades. I found it embarrassing and perverse whenever people called Cosby "America's Dad". Is that what people want?
