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

A classic. While I'm very conservative about buying VHS/DVD's, this one is worth it. If you like Bill Cosby, this is a performance you can watch again and again.
His humor regarding raising his children is especially entertaining.

As a kid Dad introduced me to Bill Cosby, and we always enjoyed listening to his comedy. However, listening alone you only get half the story. Through this DVD, you get to see his facial expressions, and it improves on the story big time. We all sat down and enjoyed watching it. You will too.

Baby boomers will love this but also great for anyone who has truly experienced drinking binges, kids and visits to the dentist. Couldn't stop laughing. good clean, true to life humor! Gotta see.

Unintentionally Funny
While the main goal is making the viewer laugh, some parts are eerily funny and cryptic. The film starts out with an hilariously bad song called "It Was A Good Idea At The Time"... Read more

Typical Cosby...and that means hysterically funny
I'd forgotten that this video existed, and how physical a comedian Bill Cosby can be. I've heard some of these routines before, most notably his shtick about dentists, but they... Read more

Not enough good adjectives to describe this film....
If you haven't seen this performance, you don't know what you are missing out on. Nevermind the "Kings of Comedy"; this is where it all started. Read more
