An often overlooked early Bill Cosby vehicle called simply The Bill Cosby Show. Another hallmark moment for Bill Cosby and for the culture at large as this show marked Cosby’s debut as a single star after appearing opposite Robert Culp in the mid sixties secret-agent buddy adventure series I SPY.
I SPY ran for three seasons on NBC, a premise that teamed US intelligence agents Kelly Robinson (Robert Culp) and his negro counterpart (the term still dominate at the time) Alexander “Scotty” Scott played by Bill Cosby, traveling undercover as international tennis bums. Monumental and controversial, at the same time.

In this, The Bill Cosby Show, a series that aired for two seasons on NBC’s Sunday night schedule from 1969 until 1971, Cosby plays Chet Kincaid, a bachelor and physical education instructor. In many ways, this show is one of the building blocks upon which Cosby started to create his “on-screen family of America’s dreams”, as one writer so poetically stated.

Cliff Huxtable before he met Claire so to speak.

Chet Kincaid is the safe single guy next door that’ll offer to walk the old lady across the street. Low maintenance simple guy. But smart, responsible and trustworthy. And always there to help. And a great mentor to his students including some of his fellow staff.

Being a single guy, Chet Kincaid definitely retained his share of love interests over the course of the series’ two year run. In this scene from an episode titled ‘The Green-Eyed Monster’, Motown star Kim Weston makes a rare acting appearance as Chet’s lady friend Gloria Ruskin.
