I wouldn’t put it past a network to reboot it as “The Huxtables” with Malcolm-Jamal Warner. They could bring the major characters back with the exception of Bill, give Theo a family, and establish that Cliff died from an untimely overdose of Rohypinol years prior.

I don't think they should do a reboot, but it is such a shame that Cosby's crimes have made that show so uncomfortable to watch. It was actually a great show

Oh that scene where Cliff's special home made BBQ sauce puts people in the mood for love... and he scrambles to keep it from the little kids. In context now, it's really disturbing

I mean, nobody even airs/streams the original now. No way they'd make a reboot.

(Though I was on vacation this summer in the middle of nowhere and some local affiliate was airing it)

Cosby still probably owns enough of the rights that no matter how it happened, he'd make money off of any reboot. So f' him.

They could do it as a black dramedy. Call it The Huxtables and work Bill Cosby's real life issues into the show. Dr. Cliff Huxtable is finally brought to justice for all the sex crimes that he committed on his patients over the years and the rest of the Huxtables have to put the pieces of their family together.

I remember an announcement about a reboot/sequel when the whole Bill Cosby shit started going down.
