Keshia Knight Pulliam was on Today today and they asked how she would feel about Bill Cosby, whom she accompanied on his first day of court, if he is found guilty of sexual assault. She told Craig Melvin, “I’ll be disappointed, however it won’t change the love. Because when you have family, people falter, people makes mistakes, things happen. But in no way condoning sexual assault.”
She again told them as a mother of a girl she cannot condone that act and reminded them that her TV father is a husband, a father and a son.
I get that, but according to the claims it was not just one woman. It was around 50 females. That is not faltering or making mistake. That is getting away with a crime and keep on committing it because they can. I could not and would not love someone I knew that committed that crime. Could you?

While everyone has distanced themselves from Bill Cosby, Keshia Knight Pulliam, who played his daughter on The Cosby Show, actually showed up to court with him today. The two of them smiled as they walked side by side to his first day of the trial, and we are not smiling with them. I know we have convicted him before the trial has even started but it is hard not to with all of the evidence.
According to People, Phylicia Rashad, who played his wife on The Cosby Show and Cosby, will also make an appearance at some point during the trial. I do not get how his female co-stars could support with all of the allegations, but that is me.

Last year, The Carmichael Show was my favorite new show and it was one of the last ones to debut. Tonight at 9p on NBC, it is back for its second season and it is even better than it was last year.
Tonight, they take on Bill Cosby and show us every side of the issue. By the end of the episode you will understand why people are still going to see him and why others are not.
Before we get to the end, let’s start with the beginning. Jerrod (Jerrod Carmichael) decided to surprise his girlfriend Maxine (Amber Stevens West) with tickets to a comedy show; but when she finds out it is for Bill Cosby, she refuses to go because of the allegations. He still wants to see the show, so he asks his parents if they want to go. His mom (Loretta Devine) and dad (David Alan Grier) are all excited to go, until Maxine tries to convince her future mother-in-law not to go. They ask the question, how many women is it OK to allegedly rape before you turn on an idol.
Now, they are torn on what to do, so they ask for a neutral opinion from Jerrod’s ex-sister-in-law Nekeisha (Tiffany Haddish). She has no idea what is going on with Bill Cosby, so they give her his Wikipedia page to read. Which makes things even more complicated.
Will anyone go to see Bill Cosby or will they all wind up going? You just have to tune in to find out.
The thing I absolutely adore about The Carmichael Show is they take on controversial issues, and show all sides of the story. They are less bias than the news these day and more informative. Plus, you are laughing with them and not at them like you are at news networks.
I can’t say enough good things about this sitcom, so I implore you to check out the best new comedy in a really really long time.
It’s been over a year since many women have claimed that Bill Cosby drugged and raped them and yet there were no charges brought against the actor. That all changed today when Montgomery County, Pa’s district attorney’s office announced that they are charging him with a crime relating to a woman’s complaint filed against him. DA Kevin Steele said he was charged him with aggravated indecent assault relating to an incident that happened back in 2004. According to the PBS Newshour, “On the night in question, Cosby is alleged to have given the woman, who was associated with the Temple University women’s basketball program, wine and pills that rendered her unable to move, at which time he sexually assaulted her.”
The statute of limitation is 12 years there, so they just had a few months before time ran out.
The actor will be arraigned later today.
It will be interesting to see if he will be facing more charges from other districts, now that one of the district attorney’s charged him with the alleged crime.
UPDATE: Bill Cosby was arraigned today and bail was set at $1,000,000. He made bail and also turned over his passport as part of the arraignment. His next day in court is January 14th.
Family Guy has been having a lot fun making fun of Bill Cosby since before the scandal and they’ve been having even more fun since it broke. Yesterday, they reworked the opening of The Cosby Show and had all the leading ladies passed out while he did his danced around in a colorful sweater. If only they brought Phylicia Rashād, Lisa Bonet and Tempestt Bledsoe into the mix, I would’ve been OK. But why did they have to add the late greats Bonnie Franklin and Bea Arthur? What did they do to deserve that? It’s not like they can defend themselves. Just like…
