Television introduced Bill Cosby to America. First as Alexander Scott, an American secret agent in the 60’s hit series I Spy. Bill Cosby helped to break racial barriers by being the first African American to star in a dramatic primetime television series. Bill Cosby later went on to create Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids an animated series that captured the hearts of children every Saturday morning with fun life-long lessons.
