I really liked 'the cosby show'. it was a significant change in the demonstration of a successful, minority family. its funny. it also holds up well; the writing did not date itself too much to the era.

but, ya know... Cosby. can you separate the artist from the art? a part of me feels like i should still be able to enjoy the show even though he is a terrible person.

thoughts?

I think its ok to enjoy art from terrible people as long as it isn't actually about their problematic aspects, and you are avoiding directly supporting that person by giving them money or drawing a lot of attention to them. Plus in this case there were a lot more minds involved than just Cosby's.
