Little Bill is a Nick Jr. animated series created by Bill Cosby. It is based on Cosby's book series of the same name, which featured illustrations by Varnette P. Honeywood. The show premiered on Nickelodeon on November 28, 1999 and ran for two seasons. It moved to Noggin in 2007.
Nickelodeon has not aired or acknowledged the show since the 2014 allegations against Bill Cosby. Nickelodeon has gone so far as to retroactively remove Little Bill from past schedules alongside another Cosby series Fatherhood.
Synopsis
Set in Philadelphia, the show centers on Little Bill Glover as he explores everyday life through his imagination. Little Bill lives with his parents, his great-grandmother, his older siblings April and Bobby, and his pet hamster named Elephant. At the end of every episode, Little Bill summarizes his day to the audience before going to bed. One of his family members always asks him, "Little Bill, who are you talking to?" and he giggles. Little Bill is based on Bill Cosby's son Ennis William Cosby
