16 "The Cosby Show" Actors, Who Have Passed Away 

"The Cosby Show", an American television sitcom, debuted on NBC on September 20, 1984, and ran until April 30, 1992. Created by Bill Cosby in collaboration with Ed. Weinberger and Michael J Leeson, the series revolves around the Huxtables, an African-American family residing in Brooklyn, New York. Drawing inspiration from Cosby's stand-up comedy routines and his own family experiences, the show garnered attention for its portrayal of a middle-class African-American household in which racial issues were notably absent compared to contemporaneous sitcoms. Notably, the series held the distinction of being the number one rated show on television for five consecutive seasons, a feat achieved only by All in the Family besides. Even today, the actors from The Cosby Show continue to thrive in their careers, although some have sadly passed away. Today, we come together not to mourn their loss, but to celebrate the enduring impact they have left on television history. Welcome to a tribute unlike any other.
