I was very disappointed when this show aired as a re-make, even though I was initially excited to see it was coming on. I remember watching the original show as a child and thinking it was very funny. I have watched it again as an adult and think it is even funnier than I did as a child. But this remake is mean spirited and nasty. Art Linkletter let the children say what they wanted and didn't guide them to embarrass themselves. The kids still said embarrassing things on occasion, but it was on their own and no coerced. It was very innocent fun, even for the kids. I have always held Bill Cosby in high regard, but this was certainly beneath him.
