What's next? Will they revoke the license for everybody who bought the show from iTunes/Amazon?

Are they going to do the same with other actors who did something controversial?

Welp, I know what I'm doing this afternoon.

Amazon can and has done this for digital purchases, and does it at the artist's/publisher's requests at times too, and not just when the content embarrasses them. Personally, I think that's worse, but we've kind of lost that legal battle already.

Beyond that, you're not saying anything here that's not said better in a pre-existing thread.

It's still funny too. We don't need remakes. We just need more good TV.

I know Cosby did bad things, but I still like the show. Does that make me bad? I can't find any reruns of his show anymore.

You're not necessarily bad or good for liking problematic media. You're making a complicated choice, and you're aware of the context. That's literally about the best any of us can hope for.

As for the networks that streamed him, they have their image to consider. If they worry their continued broadcasts might be interpreted as support for the actor-turned-sexual predator, they might pull the show to avoid the association.

There's a station on my cable that still shows Cosby a lot. Whenever I flip past its usually that or Sanford and Son or Good Times.
