Bill Cosby is continuing to move off TV’s entertainment schedule and into its news programs.
Basic cable network TV Land has now yanked all syndicated repeats of his iconic NBC series The Cosby Show, a spokesperson for the channel confirmed.
The move follows NBC canceling the development of a new prime-time sitcom starring the actor-comedian, and Netflix postponing the debut of its Bill Cosby 77 stand-up special.
Cosby faces mounting rape allegations from several women, including from when he worked on The Cosby Show, which ran from 1984 to 1992 on NBC. On Tuesday, former supermodel Janice Dickinson became the latest to accuse Cosby of sex abuse. The actor has denied all the allegations through his attorney and has refused to answer questions regarding the matter. More detail on TV network reaction to Cosby’s allegations story here.
