I can't think of #TheCosbyShow without thinking of what an awful person its star turned out the be....

But I also can't think of the show without remembering the indomitable Theo Huxtable, whom I utterly adored as a kid. I didn't realize that #MalcolmJamalWarner was only a few years older than me. This is a sad, sad loss. 😔

He was nominated for an Emmy and won a Grammy for his work as a musician.
