Terrible

They should have called this "Cosby Says the Most Patronizing Things" because that's what the show was basically about: making fun of little kids who think they are having a serious conversation. It's one thing to privately giggle when your own kid says something unintentionally amusing, but it's a whole lot different when you deliberately coax unsuspecting tikes into making fools of themselves and then broadcast it on national TV. How would people have felt if this show was based on a different group of people--say, "Recent Immigrants Say the Darndest Things" or "Uneducated Appalachians Say the Darndest Things." Real funny, right?

Why is it that it's okay to put down/make fun of children? No wonder they feel undervalued sometimes. At least the ADULTS caught on "Candid Camera" had to sign consent forms before their bits could be aired. I don't know if Cosby thought of this idea by himself, but if he did I have lost all respect for him. What a terrible idea for a TV show.
