Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Comedy, Talk Shows, NBC


was a groundbreaking sitcom that hit the airwaves in 1984, spearheaded by the legendary Bill Cosby. There is so much that can be said about The Cosy Show, which was on the air for eight seasons, ending in 1992, but we will leave it to the cast. 25 years after the show hit the air, a large portion of the cast got together on The Today Show to reminisce about memories, moments, and history. We’ve embedded all three segments here, one above and two after the break. If you grew up on The Cosby Show, then you’ll appreciate these clips. If you came into this world a bit too late to get into it, check them out—you’ll soon realize that there is definitely something missing from television these days that The Cosby Show provided.

The Cosby Show 25th Anniversary Commemorative DVD set is available now.

Geico Cavemen Get a New Sitcom

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, ABC

Geico Caveman The ink is barely dry on the contract that Bill Martin and Mike Schiff (Grounded for Life creators) signed with ABC Television Studios, but work is already going full steam ahead on a new sitcom starring Geico’s cavemen. That’s right, the commercial concept has become so popular in mainstream culture it’s comedic value can no longer be ignored by network TV, a group determined to cash in on Geico’s advertising success. The two-year deal signed with ABC gives Martin and Schiff seven-figures and a third season option. The new sitcom will focus on a group of three Neanderthal Men living in today’s Atlanta, trying to adjust to a Cro-Magnon world. Martin and Schiff are no strangers to such a sitcom setup – they served as executive producers and showrunners for NBC’s 3rd Rock From the Sun in the past.

Eric McCormackOK, so Eric McCormack has declared that he’s done with sitcoms. And how long should we expect that to last? He’s come off the wildly successful Will & Grace, but I don’t think he should be calling it quits on sitcoms all-together. If he really feels that way, perhaps it’s better to keep it to himself rather than prematurely announcing it to the world. True, McCormack has seen much success on the stage, and it’s likely he’ll go that route for awhile, but I wouldn’t discount the fact that he could return to a small screen comedy yet again. McCormack broke the news at the Edinburgh International Television Festival, saying he would likely return to the small screen, but “probably not in a sitcom, because I don’t think I can follow Will & Grace as an experience for me.” He went on to say that “the experience day-to-day was about as perfect as you can get.” Perhaps this is just an attempt to thwart any Seinfeld curses—steering clear of the sitcom genre for a brief time. We’ll see, Mr. McCormack.
