Charlie & Co.
Considered by many to be CBS' answer to the "Cosby Show", "Charlie and Co." followed the Richmond family, headed by dad Charlie (Flip Wilson), a blue-collar worker, and his wife Diana (Gladys Knight). Though the Richmonds were seen as more realistic and relatable than the upscale Huxtables, "Charlie and Co." was not able to latch onto the public the way "Cosby" did.
