Bill Cosby Is Returning To Television Which Is Interesting Because Bill Cosby Is Legitimately Senile

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Bill Cosby could be returning to the network with a new comedy as soon as next summer. The series, described as a “classic, extended-family sitcom” with Cosby as the patriarch, is currently in the writing stage, NBC executives said at Sunday’s session of the summer TV critics’ tour. It was first announced in January. Cosby, 77, has a long history with NBC, including his seminal “The Cosby Show,” which became a smash hit 30 years ago and helped rescue a network then at the bottom of the ratings. It ran for eight seasons. After that, Cosby headlined a sitcom at CBS, among other series. If the new Cosby project isn’t ready for next summer, it could be a contender for fall 2015.

Billy Cosby is a legend, there’s no denying that fact. I will never trash this icon of comedy and Philadelphia. However…what in the name of fuck are these TV executives thinking? Do they know the elevator in that 77-year-old building doesn’t exactly go all the way to the top anymore? As you can see above he’s given up and is putting an absolute beatdown on funeral attire. All out gym teacher wear to give his last respects to a friend. And he wasn’t just in attendance, Cosby was giving the freaking eulogy. The poor doesn’t know where he is at any given time anymore. Plus he’s hijacked every single national appearance for years solely because of his senility. The man is as a wildcard as it gets.

Here he is on Jay Leno last year:

What the hell was that? Bill’s walking around like your Great Uncle with Alzheimer’s at K-Mart before some kind stranger was able to direct him on his way.

Then you have him on Jimmy Fallon where he trashed The Roots and literally played dead. Seriously. He lies down and does nothing on national TV for nearly a full minute of airtime.

The engine’s running but there’s nobody behind the wheel, and I couldn’t be more excited to see in what ditch the car finds itself in. Even if the show will be cancelled after everyone realizes it’ll be a only half hour’s worth of awkward dancing and old man rants. Pay the man in Pudding Pops.
