He had some brilliant material before The Cosby Show...
He ran out of funny sometime before I was born, if he ever had any. I simply do not get him. Yeah, Grammy award winner, blah, blah, blah. I'd chalk it up to differences in eras, but there are all kinds of old-timey folks in all areas of art that I find interesting. I don't think 1950-1970s comedy is my particular blind spot, even if you want to categorize it by ethnicity.
