Not particularly. I have found him rather dull since I was a child.

That is a matter of personal taste I suppose. I can see if first exposure to his comedy was The Cosby Show that one might think that. When I grew up, when dinasours walked the earth and radio played good music, his comedy was a lot sharper and extremely funny.

Apparently it went well for him.

Bill Cosby regains revered status for 1 night in Florida | Entertainment & Showbiz from CTV News

Not something I can understand really, whether it's substantiated or not, having that kind of vibe out there would turn me completely off any performer.

I can understand choosing not to vilify someone when accusations are unsubstantiated, but I wouldn't throw my hard earned money at them either.
WHAT? seriously....he's got balls baby....you could not have dragged me out there drugged

It's scary when you think of all the celebs and others out there who's true colours have yet to emmerge!
there are likely a few of the old boys feeling sweaty yeah

I wonder how many went to the show just to get a ticket and related mementos for future ebay sales. In the social media era his potential court case could exceed the scrutiny of OJ Simpson. Speaking of which, there must be enormous pressure on district attorneys to prosecute. The evidence will likely be very thin, mostly circumstantial and character evidence. Everyone will get dragged through the mud. It will be news gong show like no other.
yeah I was thinking just now.....aaaaaaaaaaaaand the vultures decend

I don't think they can prosecute due to time

The trouble with being rich and famous is the amount of gold diggers that hang around. Nothing any of them say can be believed.
except these women don't need his money now....

16 of them?????????? Why isn't he speaking up? If I had one women making such allegations against me, I'd be challenging her very vociferously.
he can't speak out...if any of this goes to court and that is highly doubtful he would be fried

what could he possibly say?

No I didn't drug and rape all of those young women.

It's hard to say what is what here, yes anyone who is or has ever been high profile can be a target. And I can see people jumping on the bandwagon just because it's there. But at the same time, sometimes where there is smoke there is also fire.

Regardless, I can't see myself being able to enjoy tv, film or stage with him featured when there is that kind of doubt in my mind. I mean, I'd honestly like to say I'll wait until the verdict is in (if there ever is one) but being truthful, I just can't dismiss it either. Not that I'm calling for his head or anything, just that I can't find joy in his comedy now.

Saaaaaaaaaaaaal, Saaaaaaaaaaal yoo hoo- Quite recently I've read of girls who have charged and got a conviction 30 years after the fact.

In Canada I don't believe there is a statute of limitations on violent crimes, of which sexual assault would be one. I'm not sure about the U.S. though, and it would probably vary from state to state anyway.

wow....really? that is amazing....I thought there would be a statute of limitations...where's TB when we need him

if so, Cosby is likely mighty nervous

on the other hand, he could clear his name if it did go to court if he didn't do it he could even counter sue for slander

16 women though...all with similar stories how do 16 women make up the same story with the same m.o. about the same guy?

even whacko Jacko didn't have 16 and I still don't know about him one way or tuther

With that f**Ker it was probably "both ways"!:)
don't know, he was messed but some people made a lot of money off of him and he was emotionally fragile to say the least thus all of the drugs which eventually killed him

maybe it was guilt which added to the confusion, I don't know but as you've said, no kid should have been left alone with him or sleeping in a grown man's bed period

If I HAD to give an opinion of him, I'd probably go 60% in his favour. When a guy shows up for court in his pajamas anything is possible.

The Toronto woman taking on Bill Cosby, America’s Dad’


Constand did not initiate the 2015 charges. But she agreed to co-operate with the revived criminal proceedings headed by district attorney Kevin J. Steele and will be called as a witness in the case of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania versus William H. Cosby Jr.

Constand has not given a formal interview since Cosby was charged. Her family and close friends have kept quiet more than a decade. Nor did she appear at his preliminary hearing last year — her right under Pennsylvania law.

Constand has remained virtually silent even though some people have publicly branded her a liar.
