Cos

By Wikipedia

Cos was an American sketch comedy/variety TV series that debuted on the ABC Network in September 1976. It was hosted by comedian Bill Cosby and featured an ensemble cast who would perform sketches each week for what was intended to be a young audience (the show ran against The Wonderful World of Disney; adults who did not want to watch either were left with 60 Minutes).

The show was unsuccessful in the Neilsen ratings and was cancelled by November 1976. Cosby appeared on this series concurrently with his starring role in Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids and the film Mother, Jugs and Speed. His next TV series, The Cosby Show, debuted eight years later and was considerably more successful.
