4. I agree, Bill Cosby was "America's Dad," he was the funny guy who sold Jello

I was very surprised to see that his show was actually shown anywhere now. But I just checked and it's still on - 4 in a row, from 6-8pm weeknights. As for Kevin Spacey, that's another shocker. I used to work with CBS, wrote up the network TV listings for the newspapers, and one of my favorite L.A. contacts was personal friends with him - nice guy with a wife and 2 kids that he was very proud of - and I knew he was rooting for his friend's success. So when the news broke, he had to be pretty shocked. I felt the same way about Louis C.K., thought he was very funny. But I agree, what we know now is pretty hard to overlook even when watching their old performances.
