Toons After Dark: Fatherhood (2004)

 In 2004, Nick at Nite experimented with original, animated fare, mixed into their rerun-centric lineup.

For their first series, they turned to then-respected, now-disgraced icon Bill Cosby, who co-created Fatherhood, based on the book of the same name. The series ran for two seasons of 13 episodes each, 26 total.

Cosby served as an executive producer and writer, and cast Blair Underwood (ex-LA Law) in the lead role of Dr. Arthur Bindlebeep (yep, a Cosby name if there ever was one), and brought in former Cosby Show castmate Sabrina LeBoeuf to co-star.

Following is a sample episode:


Like virtually every other Cosby series, this had been removed from online sources after the sexual harassment case against Cosby first broke.

Rating: B.
