What The Cosby Show Kids Look Like Today?
If you’re anything like us, then you’ve probably binge-watched a sitcom or two in your life. After all, who doesn’t love a good comedic story? Throw in a well-rounded cast of characters and some wacky misadventures and you’ll see why this genre is an absolute staple in the cultural zeitgeist. Given their popularity today, you might be surprised to learn that sitcoms came close to extinction a few decades ago. Due to lackluster ratings, television executives felt that the genre was “dead.” But when “The Cosby Show” premiered in 1984, it brought the format roaring back.
“The Cosby Show” focused on the Huxtables, a delightfully wholesome family of seven. For five consecutive years, it was the number one series on television. In addition to being a commercial success, “The Cosby Show” offered valuable representation for Black families. The show achieved a lot — however, many would argue that its biggest champions were the Huxtable kids and their friends, through which the show’s massages of positive morals and family values were conveyed. It was a pleasure watching them grow up throughout eight seasons of “The Cosby Show” — but where did those child actors end up?
Some former “Cosby Show” kids are still enjoying the limelight — you may have even spotted them in some of your favorite movies and television series — while others kept a low profile and focused on other endeavors. Scroll through to see how they’ve changed over the decades.
