W. Kamau Bell opens "We Need to Talk About Cosby," his tour de force documentary series by identifying with a predicament shared by millions. "I am a child of Bill Cosby," he says.

For our parents, "I Spy" may have been a must-watch when they were younger, and many of the same folks sat down with their children to enjoy "The Cosby Show."
