The Issue

Growing up, Theo Huxtable, portrayed by the late Malcom Jamal Warner, was more than just a character on a screen. For millions of black children, particularly black boys, he was a beacon of inspiration, showing us that it is possible to excel in every aspect of life. Theo’s struggles and triumphs were our own. He taught us that challenges could be overcome and success was within reach, regardless of the obstacles faced.

The Cosby Show was a groundbreaking series that changed the landscape of television. It provided representation that was sorely needed, showcasing a loving, successful black family in a positive light. This show not only entertained but educated, offering life lessons and promoting values such as perseverance, integrity, and the importance of education.

In honor of Malcom Jamal Warner’s passing and to celebrate his immeasurable impact, we urge Netflix to add The Cosby Show to its streaming platform. This would be a fitting tribute to Warner's legacy and the lasting influence of his work on the show. By making The Cosby Show available to stream, Netflix can ensure that new generations have the opportunity to experience the lessons and joys this show brought to so many lives.

With your support, we can reach out to Netflix and show that the demand for The Cosby Show remains strong. Please sign this petition and help us bring back a piece of television history that inspired an entire generation.
