Cosby on Chemicals.
Vandal, Greg
Phi Delta Kappan, v71 n8 p632-33 Apr 1990
Criticizes a "Cosby Show" episode for airing mixed messages about teenage drinking. Instead of negotiating a logical consequence for their daughter's misbehavior, the TV parents (the Huxtables) projected the message that drunkenness is funny and a hangover is a fitting punishment. (MLH)
