I Spy… the end of a career.
Things keep going from bad to, well, “Leonard Part 6” for fallen comedy king Bill Cosby.
Unless you’re based in the bush, where telephone companies pride themselves on uninternet-friendly black spots, you’ll have heard that the ageing doctor of funnies has been outed as an alleged serial rapist. Again. And Again. Again. Seems every day, another young woman comes out, announcing Cosby raped them in the ’70s or ’80s (does cinematic rape count? if so, I’ve been taken advantage of by Cosby a couple of times, too). As a result of the unyielding claims, Netflix has axed a plan Cosby special, and now, NBC has shelved plans to help Cosby launch his prime time TV comeback.
Cosby was expected to headline a new family sitcom for the network, predicted for a Fall 2015 launch, From Sony Pictures Television, Mike Sikowitz (”Rules of Engagement”) and actor turned writer Mike O’Malley (“Glee”). With the words “Rudy, come in the room please” having now taken on a whole different meaning in the past couple of weeks, the network just doesn’t want to be in business with someone that treats women like a towel rack. And fair enough!
But boy, doesn’t that new Arnold Schwarzenegger “Terminator” movie look good!? Sorry.
