This fall marks the 30th anniversary of The Cosby Show, what has long been considered the greatest black sitcom of all time, and also a return to a more diverse television landscape: NBC, ABC and FOX, along with other networks, will debut a variety of shows that cast minority actors in lead roles (several are women of color).
