An episode near and dear to my heart. My friend, television writer Charles Ray Hamilton (Starz series "Power: Book II") sits down with me to chat about spinoff of "The Cosby Show" starring (initially) eldest Huxtable daughter Denise, "A Different World." It's a messy conversation about a show that has its feet in messiness. Both because of Bill Cosby and for reasons having nothing to do with him. And we get into all of it. Colorism. Black college life depictions. Gender issues. Sexuality. And how "Full House" did a better job of acknowledging sex exists than "The Cosby Show" (yeah. We go places.) A great conversation about an iconic entry in Black pop culture.
