Grampa as a young breh...my guess is that he's playing Othello or something Shakespearean

Looking back at the show, I wonder if they had a meeting where it was agreed that the show needed more red bones. Cliff's father and extra daughters and son-in-law just seemed so out of place.

How? Man that is new age social media mess. Back in the day black folks were just happy to see black folks on tv. We didn't go around bytching on social media saying well them kids don't look like they can really be the father's kids or why the husband so light and the wife is dark and all that shyt.

No one bytched and said why lionel on the jeffersons dark skin and his daddy light skin or why his girlfriend /wife Jenny dark skin but her daddy white. We were just happy to see black folks in all shapes and colors on tv.

RIP to the older gawd.

Always liked his relationship with his son on the cosby show. That was truly refreshing to see that type of relationship between a father and son on TV.

Panthro was my favorite Thundercat. He was also the voice of the Ancient Spirits of Evil and Groome

McFadden (Lion-O) and Ceetaras voice actor has done cameos over the years but never him. Shame when all the other actors were dead at that time.
