Didn’t anyone at TV One notice the irony of airing a ‘Cosby Show’ rerun in which Bill Cosby crushed pills into drink?

We’re guessing that Bill Cosby didn’t need much rehearsal for the scene in “The Cosby Show” in which he slipped some aspirin into a glass of juice.

Accused rapist Bill Cosby could be seen on television Friday night crushing pills and mixing them into a drink to feed to his pint-sized TV daughter on the episode, “Rudy’s Sick.”

All broadcasters are justified in offering viewers whatever programming they choose, but it’s curious that no one at TV One thought about the optics of “America’s Dad” slipping pills into a drink — while Cosby’s standing trial for just that, and worse.

Syndicated episodes of “The Cosby Show” (which originally aired from 1984-1992) have quietly returned to cable television, first on Bounce TV in December, and again on TV One on May 24.
