The sad fact is this: they don't make shows like "The Cosby Show" anymore. I have watched enough "iCarly" episodes to realize they are not in the same league. At all. The facts are simple. This show captured a lot of African-American issues throughout the series, but these two episodes are not about those issues. These episodes are about the issues that arise when children experiment with alcohol and when children lie to their parents. Without preaching, without making bold judgments about right and wrong, these two episodes deal with the issues parents must deal with when their children misbehave. I think these episodes could easily be required viewing for students in some kids. sort of class in high school, maybe junior high. Obviously, there could be outstanding discussions about how the parents interact with the kids.
