8 Brooklyn TV Shows: How Real Are They?

The Cosby Show
Possibly the best TV show ever, featuring the transcendent Phylicia Rashad (nee Ayers-Allen), The Cosby Show was set in a Brooklyn Heights brownstone on Cranberry Street. This show basically got everything right, even the fact that it would require two full-time professionals to afford a house on a fruit street in Brooklyn Heights. Cliff’s sweaters were incredibly fashion forward and does everybody remember when Denise tried to replicate a Gordon Gartrell shirt for Theo? The fashion on this show was tight. Probably the only complaint I have is that Vanessa and her friends (Janet and Kara) would frequently talk about going to “the mall.” What mall? The Fulton Street Mall? That sounds terrible! But Vanessa was kind of terrible, wasn’t she? Yes, she was.
Reality Score: 9/10
