Cosby and Rashad Are Back Together Again, 23 August 1999
Author: JennLynn from Asheville, North Carolina

The Cosby Show ended. America wanted it back, they never wanted it to go in the first place. But this brings back a fresh new look at the masters of comedy, the best couple for the job- Phylicia Rashad Bill Cosby. I loved the Cosby Show, it was better, but what a good replacement!!!
