NBC has canceled the production of a new show starring Bill Cosby after a barrage of rape allegations resurfaced this month. (Just yesterday, supermodel Janice Dickinson alleged Cosby drugged and raped her in 1982.) The untitled NBC comedy was to have him play a father to three married daughters with children. Netflix yesterday postponed a comedy special starring Cosby scheduled for next week. TV Land has also pulled all planned repeats of The Cosby Show.
