The revelation this week that Bill Cosby admitted to obtaining drugs, with the intent of giving them to women he wanted to have sex with, has again raised the question— what to do with "The Cosby Show"?
Cable channels Bounce TV and Centric Network dropped reruns of the show this week. TV Land had already pulled The Cosby Show from its lineup back in November.
The network also took reruns of "The Dukes of Hazzard" off the air last week amid the Confederate flag controversy.
TIME magazine columnist James Poniewozik joins Take Two to discuss the ethics of TV reruns.
