As a child, I was extremely uncomfortable with Dr. Huxtable when he was in his office. I would regularly walk away from the show when he was in his at-home office alone with someone. When I later saw Philip Banks in Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, I consciously compared the two. One felt safe and nurturing, the other did not.

When a criminal's art replicates the conditions in which he committed crimes, I would hope that the commercial and artistic value of that work would diminish considerably. I hope that the Cosby show would not be able to survive continued syndication. However it should still be thrown into the bargain bin of available entertainment for posterity.

In my opinion, deleting the Cosby show erases the chance for others to obtain that same impression.
