I believe that show played a major role in knocking down race and class barriers. There had never been a children's show like that before, and there hasn't been anything quite like it since.
It's just that I still feel a bit of the heartbreaking disappointment that came with learning about Mr. Cosby's misdeeds. What can I say? Even though he created some remarkable work, the little girl inside still feels betrayed by someone she wholeheartedly trusted.
