The Cosby Mysteries

Whatever you think of Cosby at least his performances were always entertaining fun and hilarious. This series was actually really good though I think it only ran one season. A no-brainer that's enjoyable the cast is excellent Rita Moreno's awesome so is Moz Def. It's just a shame that Cosby's real life ruined everything. But if you can get past that watch this series. You can usually find it on YouTube or other places like that it's hard to find the DVD but it's out there somewhere. Nuff said.

The chemistry between Bill Cosby and James Naughton in this series is reminiscent of Cosby and Robert Culp in "I Spy." Their banter and fun rapport is the highlight of every episode of "The Cosby Mysteries." These are very watchable shows and a surprise they got canceled so soon. Maybe people weren't willing to give Cosby a chance in this somewhat serious role. He had a bigger hit in 1996-2000 with the sitcom "Cosby." Obviously Bill Cosby wanted to try something different with "The Cosby Mysteries." A solid cast makes these shows interesting- including Rita Moreno and Dante Beze (aka the rapper "Mos Def").

This was an enjoyable mystery show. Cosby's always great, and as I remember, so was the rest of the cast. He and Mos Def had good chemistry. Some funny generational clash there. The show had a Law and Order feel to it, and I enjoyed every episode I saw. A good mix of comedy and intrigue.

Bill Cosby never fails to amaze me. It's seems he can do everything. Too bad we're not seeing more from him. He's got so much to offer.

I can assure you I went into this show not expecting much, but what I was left with was so brilliantly devious that I could not stop smiling or talking about it until it aired again the next week, when my smile would only grow wider until it became injuriously wide. I needed jaw surgery shortly thereafter.

The mysteries on this show (The Cosby Mysteries) feature Cosby. Obviously. However, in a shockingly post-modern turn of non-customary non-post-modernity, Cosby doesn't actually play himself, but Guy Fawkes, a detective who looks remarkably like Bill Cosby. He is joined by Most Deaf, a popular Rapper (apparently) who is an unpopular actor.

In every show, Fawkes solves a mystery which is usually so complex, so brilliant and so shocking that I shake my head and cry out at the top of my voice, "That Bill Cosby should be president!" I implore you all to watch this series. It is rarely on.

I really enjoyed The Cosby Mysteries. The cast was outstanding and the mysteries were fun. The characters were all slightly eccentric but the relationships were very real. Each episode was a mystery but the relationships were equally as important to the stories as the who did its. I think that this show may have been way before its time. To me, it had a very similar vibe as "Bored to Death" another great mystery series that was on HBO more than twenty years after The Cosby Mysteries. I am sorry that more people didn't find The Cosby Mysteries as enjoyable as I did. Perhaps Mr. Cosby will revisit this one day and it will reach a wider audience and be as popular as I think that it deserved to be.
