The Cosby Show is still remembered as one of the greatest shows in US history, and is credited to "almost single-handedly reviving the sitcom genre and NBC's ratings fortunes after ABC passed on the series."
The Huxtable family were a staple in most US households in the 80s, with the show spending much of its run in the number one spot on the Neilson ratings. In fact, a whopping 44.4 million people tuned in to watch the finale episode on April 30, 1992.
However, despite the overwhelming success of the show, singer and actress Raven-Symone has revealed she had not touched a penny of the money she earned from the show - 28 years after it wrapped.
Watch - Raven makes the revelation in the video below:

The 34-year-old achieved national fame on the show, starring as Olivia Kendall from 1989 to 1992. She was just four years old when she was cast, and her character was the step-granddaughter to Bill Cosby's Cliff Huxtable.
But during a recent Instagram Live chat with social media influencer Jerome Trammel, Raven-Symone revealed that she is yet to dip into her earnings from the popular sitcom.
Trammel brought up the conversation by addressing a rumor that the That's So Raven star hasn't spent her Cosby cash. He asked: "Is it true you haven't touched your Cosby money?" Jerome asked her. "Or you mean, like, residuals as of lately?"
To which Raven-Symone confirmed the rumor and clarified: "I haven't touched my Cosby money."
The legacy of the hit sitcom has undoubtedly been tarnished, due to its creator Bill Cosby being found guilty of aggravated sexual assault in 2018. The actor and comedian is currently serving a three to 10 years sentence at SCI Phoenix in Skippack, Pennsylvania.

Back in 2014, Raven-Symone shut down rumors she was sexually assaulted by Cosby while starring on the show, writing on Instagram: "I was NOT taking advantage of by Mr. Cosby when I was on the Cosby Show! [sic]
"I was practically a baby on that show and this is truly a disgusting rumor that I want no part of! Everyone on that show treated me with nothing but kindness. Now keep me out of this!"
