Pequeño Bill

First, Fat Albert. Then, Picture Pages (I know he didn't create it, but do you think of anyone else when the topic comes up?). Then, Bill Cosby creates Little Bill, and cements his legend as not only an entertainer, but and educator. Except for Fat Albert (which I recommend highly), my son has seen both of these works and also catches "The Cosby Show." Believe me, if I had to pick one entertainer that ends up my son's favorite TV star, thank goodness it's Bill Cosby. Even his bad films, like Leonard Part 6 and Ghost Dad, are pretty OK for kids as entertainment. And knowing him, there's been a positive message of some sort in both those films for kids all along that we've been missing.

Unlike the commenter before me, I think Little Bill is a very nice show for toddlers and pre-schoolers. He acts just like real children do, with wild imagination. The show teaches children to be kind, and generous. And by the way, "Hello friend", is a phrase Bill Cosby's deceased son used to use all the time.

A wonderful, realistic depiction of a family living in the city, this show takes it's time with human interactions in a way that is refreshing and enjoyable. There seems to be no end of realistic topics that are covered. I highly recommend it. It is the best thing I have watched with children in years.

Little Bill's older sister and bother are great kids; but they lose their patience, get tired and grouchy, snip at each other while the mother patiently but firmly guides their actions, sometimes leaving decisions to the three of them to work out. Little Bill's friends in school reflect the diversity of the city while the teacher's role reflects the challenges and rewards of the job.

Bill Cosby, with his clean way of getting things across does it again. But this time with a children show, parents can now let their children watch tv without fear once more. Back in the early 90's tv was great to watch, it was clean and pure and focused on good family values, but in the late 90's it has started to deteriorate, but with good shows like this for the children to watch, who knows ;)

Summary: Good for the children, the adults will tolerate it, teens don't watch this show at all.

This is a really sweet, charming cartoon based on Bill Cosby's childhood. The animation is unique and evocative of the era. I especially love the relationship between Little Bill and his great-grandmother, whom he calls Alice the Great. A nice little family show.
