Cosby broke television鈥檚 racial barrier with I Spy, becoming the first African-American to costar on a television series, while winning three consecutive Emmys. He created and produced the Emmy-winning cartoon Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids, which began airing in the 1970s and was made into a film in 2004.

The former Navy serviceman鈥檚 illustrious list of accomplishments includes roles on the children鈥檚 educational show Electric Company, and creating and producing the Emmy award-winning Little Bill, which is based on his bestselling book series.
 
Perhaps Cosby鈥檚 greatest contribution to American entertainment and culture is The Cosby Show, about a close-knit, upper-class black family. Cosby says his intent was to portray an American family. Time magazine called the show 鈥渁n encouraging sign of maturity in matters of race.鈥 The Cosby Show dominated the number one spot for years, earning nearly unanimous critical praise.  Life magazine described the program as 鈥渁 gentle, whimsical, warmhearted鈥 show whose 鈥渄elicious ordinariness of its pleasures and tribulations has given millions a fresh, laughter-splashed perspective on their own domestic lives.鈥

Cosby鈥檚 current bestseller, I Didn鈥檛 Ask to Be Born, But I鈥檓 Glad I Was, was released by the Hachette Book Group in November 2011. Cosby talks about the Bible, being a grandfather and his first love, in his humorous and insightful manner.
