Of course anything that is Black or African American is considered "local," but sorry, The Cosby Show was no Living Single, Martin, The Parkers, etc. It was not #1 for five years consecutively because it had "no impact" or only appealed to black people. Let's not be dense, but this is ATRL after all.

Before the rape incident, it was one of the most heavily syndicated shows. Those rape victims said that one of the reasons they didn't come out was due to how POWERFUL Bill Cosby was at the time.
