A Very Different Kind of Cosby Show

One-hour A&E special picks up where recent New York magazine cover story left off.

NBC’s The Cosby Show debuted Thursday, Sept. 20, 1984. Tonight, on the third September Thursday of this calendar year, an altogether more shocking program featuring the comedian is set to be unveiled: Cosby: The Women Speak, on A&E.
