So I says to Mabel I says...

quick question...how many references to the cosby show and/or bill cosby have there been on the simpsons over the years?

Isn't Dr. Hibbert a thinly disguised caricature of Bill Cosby's doctor character from the Cosby Show? I believe the character showed up around the time The Simpsons originally moved from Sunday night to Thursday evenings (when it was competing with The Cosby Show itself).

• This thread's subject has NOTHING to do with its content.

2. "Bill Cosby's doctor character"?! Certainly you know his name! I mean, we're talking about what is arguably the best family-oriented sitcom of all time here ...

it's a perfectly cromulant subject

...but not by me. Sorry, I never really watched the show and I don't remember what Cosby's fictional name was.
