The Roots
More realistic views about slavery, rape and dealing with racial precedence of black people, which started to change in 1984. Not that long in terms of history.
The Cosby Show
It was a show about an upper-class black family and focussed on their everyday advantages.
The black man was a doctor and the children went to private school, it was showing an educated family living in a penthouse with money. It represented a functional black family quietly confident in being black. The show revolved around the day-to-day situations that the family faced. The family was unlike other black families that had previously been seen on television. The father was a respected Gynecologist and the mother was a successful Attorney.
