The Cosby family is known primarily through the television show The Cosby Show, which aired from 1984 to 1992. The show featured the lives of the Huxtable family, a middle-class African American family living in Brooklyn, New York. The patriarch, Cliff Huxtable, played by Bill Cosby, was a successful doctor, while his wife, Clair Huxtable, portrayed by Phylicia Rashad, was a lawyer. The series highlighted family values, education, and the importance of community. In real life, Bill Cosby and Camille Cosby have five children together. The family has faced significant challenges, particularly due to the legal issues surrounding Bill Cosby, who was convicted of sexual assault in 2017. Despite these controversies, the Cosby family has remained a notable part of American pop culture history.
