    In addition to NBC and Netflix distancing themselves from the iconic comedian, TV Land has dropped reruns of The Cosby Show and dropped mention of the show from its website. When it first premiered in 1984, The Cosby Show revived the sitcom format and was an instant winner for NBC, making it the number one network at the time. But as the accusations against Bill Cosby continue to increase in number, it looks less and less likely that the comedian's career will ever recover.
