Bill Cosby is a well known and hilarious comedian so I enjoyed watching his show. For the time, the show served as a new precedent because it featured a well to do African American family that ran directly against racial stereotypes. The show developed its humor from the familial interactions it portrayed and the typical banter that developed in a growing family. The show developed an array of struggles that appealed to all ages, such as peer pressure and parenting. The clean and familiar humor provided for all age groups to watch.
Miami Vice was more enjoyable than the other shows as it provided an interesting plot line that was relatively realistic. From the 70's and 80's there was a significant change in violence. Explosions were used for the first time and were more frequent though not developed with as much drama as modern media. Violence ,such as the shooting of various people, was more prevalent though, like explosives, less dramatic as those found in modern media.
Cheers was interesting especially since we live in the Boston area, which added to the entertainment of the show. The single setting seemed odd at first but eventually revealed the interesting premise of following some at work, rather than following them on odd journeys, which most people would not relate to as more white-collar jobs required people to stay in one place for hours.
