“I didn't like what was on TV in terms of sitcomsit had nothing to do with the color of themI just didn't like any of them. I saw little kids, let's say 6 or 7 years old, white kids, black kids. And the way they were addressing the father or the mother, the writers had turned things around, so the little children were smarter than the parent or the caregiver. They were just not funny to me. I felt that it was manipulative and the audience was looking at something that had no responsibility to the family.” WayYearsChildrenLittlesKidsMotherFatherFeltParentBlackTermWhiteResponsibilityAudienceSawsColorTvsSmarterLittle KidSitcomManipulativeCaregivers Author:Bill Cosby
