High and Low Retrospective is a new spin-off series that explores the most underrated and influential TV shows, movies, and music of the late '90s, 2000s, and beyond. Today, we’re turning the spotlight on The Cosby Show—a show that broke barriers in television, redefined how Black families were portrayed, and forever changed the TV landscape.

In this special episode, we take a look at how The Cosby Show not only changed TV but became entangled in one of the most complex legacies in entertainment history. From Bill Cosby’s rise as an icon to the devastating fall from grace, we explore how the show served as both a symbol of progress and a case study in complicated nostalgia.
