Many good father figures have graced our television screens over the years,but I give a tip of the hat to Bill Cosby as Dr. Heathcliff Huxtable,as the best ever.His name is perhaps the hardest to pronounce of all candidates,but who cares? Cosby is a delight here in his best series ever.No one is better with children than Bill Cosby in real life, so this indeed was the perfect vehicle for the man to prove this fact. He is the only celebrity I would trust to look after my son.As for the show itself,no better family sitcom has been produced,and I doubt it will ever be topped in the future.There is nothing more I can say,other than if the world of television were to ever create a title of "Mr.Dad", the title would go to Cosby,hands down.Great show.
