Don't forget Bill's partner in crime...
Bill Cosby may have been the lone human actor in this series of shorts, but he was faithfully accompanied by his magic pen named "Ichabod Crane" which made music when Bill Cosby wrote with it. (Many-a-friend I know longed to have that wonderful pen!)
I believe that these "Picture Pages" segments were strategically programed to fit into regular time slots during the program "Pinwheel". Doing so provided an opportunity to keep viewers (presumably children) actively involved at regular intervals while watching the longer program.
There was a corresponding workbook for "Picture Pages" which could be purchased. A child watching the show could flip to the appropriate page in the workbook for that day and participate in real time with the activity Bill Cosby was doing.
Blackballed: The Bobby Dukes Story (2004)
Help spread the word about this great hilarious movie...
This is by far one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. Rob Corddry (Daily Show w/ Jon Stewart) is supported by the cast of Upright Citizens Brigade (an improv comedy troupe from NYC which branched off for a show on Comedy Central) in this phenomenal mockumentary about the world of the paintball sub-culture.
Blackballed is currently making the round on the independent film festival circuit, and has racked up awards at SXSW (South by SouthWest Film Festival) and LPFF (Lake Placid Film Festival).
At the present time, Blackballed is still seeking distribution for release, but because of its network clout with Corddry, and an overwhelmingly positive audience response, it is sure to be out within the year either as a release in theaters nationwide, or else as a special on cable TV.
