Show,&#8221; which ran from 1984 to 1992, was one of the biggest TV hits of its time, detailing the lives of a middle-class Black family in New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The show was inspired by the stand-up routines of Bill Cosby, who played the family&#8217;s patriarch, a successful doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The show was a commercial and critical hit, and was seen as groundbreaking for its
