I would have to say the Cosby Show. It really enlightened ALOT of people. There were blacks and whites out there who thought the show was unrealistic. However, it is very realistic. There are black lawyers and doctors, and it's not uncommon for them to marry one another. Also, it was so nice to see a loving family. Omigod. Lisa Bonet. The orginal Boho. When I look back at the episodes, I realize how the show exposed America to Black culture. The music Cliff played, the books that were mentioned, the Black colleges that were mentioned. It also exposed us all legends. Josephine Premice, Placido Domingo, Betty Carter, Lena Horne, Miriam Makeba, Dizzie Gillespie, and many more. We were exposed to great jazz as well (when Cliff and Claire had their private moments at the end of the show).

I LOVE THAT SHOW!!!

I second this and then some
