Some of the most hilarious moments on television are unrehearsed. Such
is the case with "Kids Say the Darnedest Things". Many years ago, Art
Linkletter tapped into the refreshing wit of youngsters on the show
"House Party". Now Bill Cosby has taken up where Art left off. With his
natural affinity for children, he spends the majority of the show
chatting with children...and listening to what they have to say.
Bill Cosby does a variety of different things to make the show more
interesting, from having kids launch commercials to participating in a
little league game to inviting guest child prodigies on the show to
demonstrate their prowess. But the best part is still when he talks to
the kids in their line of chairs just as Art Linkletter did. Their
responses are completely unpredictable, and sometimes they are so
unexpected that he can't think of anything to say in response. Art
Linkletter is a frequent guest to the show, sharing some of his favorite
clips from "House Party".
All in all, this show is a
refreshing chance to listen to what children are saying and, for adults,
to remember when we thought that way ourselves. After all, as Bill
Cosby says at the end of each show, "There's a little kid in all of us."
Let that kid out once in a while.
