Earlier today, Fmsbwtozau told me a great story about the all-time best television show, The Cosby Show. In 1987, Lisa Bonet played “Epiphany Proudfoot” in a sex movie called Angel Heart. The movie was so at odds with Bill Cosby’s do-it-my-way fortitude that he had Bonet fired, she threatened to sue, and the producers compromised by creating A Different World.
This is like Kirk Cameron deciding in 1990, five years into Growing Pains, that the show featured too much Boner and pizza eating and not enough proselytizing. He kept threatening to quit unless they cleaned up the already generic family love show. Remember he had babysitter Julie (she has a MySpace page) fired for posing for Playboy?
The point is, Boner.
