After I Spy and before The Cosby Show, Bill Cosby left his own inimitable mark on the arena of stand-up comedy in this live concert showcasing his down-to-earth observations on the rigors and joys of family life. Cosby, using only a microphone and a chair, discusses his take on raising kids and the illogical nature of children and the futility of trying to argue with a child that in the end may be smarter than you. Notable highlights include Cosby's ruminations on the meaning of the all-purpose phrase "I don't know" to kids, and Cosby describing the effect raising children has on his wife Camille's mental state and the pitch of her voice. Containing the basis for the humor of his long-running situation comedy, Bill Cosby: Himself is a polished, occasionally insightful, and frequently hilarious night of comedy from one of the longtime masters of the form. --Robert Lane

Rating: - A MUST SEE FOR PARENTS!
Well..any one who does not like this either doesn't have kids, or doesn't spend any time with the ones he/she has, because this is dead on!I remember when I was 13 being forced to watch this by my parents.At the time, I didn't find it funny.Now, as a parent, it's hilarious!I could watch this over and over and never tire of it.Everytime I watch it, I think, "I'm not alone!"It is a must see!As a parent, I thoroughly appreciate this.

Rating: - Bill Cosby Himself
We watched this on our own, thought it was fantastic the second round we had guests round for an evening we played this we could hear the laughter and tears in their eyes through laughing he put every day things into what we take for granted and made a big joke out of it.
If you are a fan of Bill Cosby this one is a must or even if you are not it is still worth having, we are looking forward to the next one.
Ideal for crowd gathers with a sense of humour
