Bill Cosby says he is pleased about the 'Huxtable factor' in Obama's election

Bill Cosby has long bristled at suggestions that his pioneering NBC comedy, "The Cosby Show," was somehow unrealistic in its portrayal of a black upper-middle-class family.

So with the Obama family set to take up residence in the White House, Cosby reflected on those statements last week with a chuckle. "For all those people who said they didn't know any black people like the Huxtables," quipped Cosby in a phone interview, "all I can say is, 'Will you watch the show now?' "

The entertainer and comedian, who was promoting Tuesday's release of the 25th anniversary box set of "The Cosby Show," also admitted to being pleased with observations about the role of the so-called "Huxtable factor" in Obama's victory.
