Little Bill is an American animated television series created by Bill Cosby for Nickelodeon's Nick Jr. block.[1] It is based on the Little Bill book series, written by Cosby with illustrations by Varnette P. Honeywood.[6] Cosby also composed some of the theme music, appeared in live-action in the show's opening sequence, and voiced the recurring character of Captain Brainstorm.[7] It was Cosby's second animated series, after Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids.[8]

The show's main character, Little Bill, is a fictionalized younger version of Cosby and his late son, Ennis Cosby;[8] the show's late executive producer, Janice Burgess, described the character as "little Bill Cosby."[9] Each episode features Little Bill learning a lesson while interacting with his large family and group of friends. The show was developed with a panel of educational consultants.[6] The show is set in Philadelphia, Cosby's hometown.[9] Little Bill's personality was inspired by both Cosby himself and his son, Ennis Cosby; Little Bill's catchphrase "Hello, friend!" was originally a greeting that Ennis used.[10]

The series originally ran on Nickelodeon[11] from November 28, 1999, to February 6, 2004. Reruns continued to air until 2014, when the show was pulled from the air due to allegations of sexual assault against Cosby.[12]

Premise

[edit]

Set in Philadelphia, the show centers on 5-year-old, African-American "Little" Bill Glover as he discovers everyday life through his imagination. Little Bill lives with his parents, his great-grandmother Alice (nicknamed Alice the Great), his older sister April, and brother Bobby. Each episode includes a daydreaming sequence where Little Bill imagines a fantastical scenario.[8] At the end of every episode, he breaks the fourth wall by summarizing his day to the audience by talking to the audience or Elephant, his hamster, before going to bed, and a family member off-screen asks, "Little Bill, who are you talking to?" causing Little Bill to laugh as a signal for "Bye! See you next time.".

Characters

[edit]

Glover household

[edit]

• William "Little Bill" Glover Jr. (voiced by Xavier Pritchett) is an inquisitive 5-year-old boy. He has a knack for storytelling and often finds himself daydreaming his own fantasy worlds. The show's executive producer, Janice Burgess, described Little Bill as "in a way, little Bill Cosby." Little Bill's catchphrase "Hello, friend!" was originally a greeting used by Bill Cosby's late son, Ennis Cosby.[13][9][10]
• William "Big Bill" Glover Sr. (voiced by Gregory Hines) is the city's building inspector who is Little Bill, Bobby, and April's father, and Brenda's husband. He is nicknamed Big Bill since both he and his son are named Bill. In an interview, Bill Cosby said that "I am Big Bill."[14]
• Brenda Glover (née Kendall; voiced by Phylicia Rashad) is Little Bill, Bobby, and April's mother, and Big Bill's wife. Brenda's voice actress, Phylicia Rashad, had previously played Clair Huxtable (wife to Cosby's character, Cliff Huxtable) on the 1980s sitcom The Cosby Show and Ruth Lucas (wife to Cosby's other character, Hilton Lucas) on Cosby.[15]
• April Glover (voiced by Monique Beasley) is the 10-year-old oldest child and only daughter of Brenda and Big Bill. She tends to be competitive and plays basketball.[13]
• Robert "Bobby" Glover (voiced by Devon Malik Beckford in Season 1 and Tyler James Williams in Season 2) is the middle child and the oldest son of the Glover children. He is an 8-year-old Boy Scout and plays the violin.[13]
• Alice "Alice the Great" Kendall (voiced by Ruby Dee and Anika Walker in a flashback in "Good Ol' Lightning") is the maternal great-grandmother of Little Bill, Bobby, April, and Jamal. Alice is also Brenda and Deborah's grandmother. She is in her seventies and lives with the family.[13]
• Elephant is the family's pet, a small, light golden hamster who lives in Little Bill's bedroom. He often rolls all over the house in a plastic hamster ball. He was named after Little Bill's favorite animal.

Family members, friends and neighbors

[edit]

• Miss Murray (voiced by Ayo Haynes in Season 1 and Melanie Nicholls-King in Season 2) is Little Bill's brightest kindergarten teacher.[13] She has brown dreads and wears purple glasses. She marries Dr. Clinkscales in "Miss Murray's Wedding".
• Fuchsia Glover (voiced by Nakia Williams in the first episode and Kianna Underwood for the rest) is the paternal cousin of Little Bill, Bobby, and April. Her mother is named Vanessa and her father is named Al. She is known for always speaking her mind.[13]
• Andrew Mulligan (voiced by Zach Tyler Eisen) is an Irish-American boy who is Little Bill's best friend. He lives two houses away from Little Bill. He has an active imagination like Little Bill, and they often join each other in fantasy sequences. He has a pet dog named Farfy.[13]
• Kiku (voiced by Eunice Cho) is an Asian-American friend of Little Bill's. She liked to be creative, putting on puppet shows, and making artwork. She is very ambitious and wants to be president when she grows up.[13]

• Monty (voiced by Cole Hawkins) is the disabled grandson of Alice the Great's friend Emmaline. He uses a wheelchair to get around, because of being born with cerebral palsy. Later in the series, he joins Little Bill's class.
• Dorado (voiced by Vincent Canales) is Little Bill's friend who is of Puerto Rican blood.
• Michael Riley (voiced by Muhammad Cunningham) is a classmate of Little Bill's who moves to the neighborhood from the Southern city of Miami. At first, he is somewhat of a bully by playing ranking with Little Bill, but he reforms and befriends him in the end.
• Mrs. Shapiro (voiced by Madeline Kahn in her first appearance, and later by Kathy Najimy after Kahn's death) is Little Bill's neighbor of ethnoreligious blood.
• Dr. Winthrop Clinkscales (voiced by Christopher Grossett) is Mrs. Murray's husband, whom she married in "Miss Murray's Wedding".
• Mr. Miguel Rojas (voiced by Victor Argo) is an elderly Mexican-American man who speaks two languages: English and Spanish.
• Mr. Clark Terry (voiced by Clark Terry) is Alice the Great and Little Bill's new friend.
• Baby Jamal Welsh (voiced by unknown) is Little Bill's baby cousin (on his mother's side), son of Deborah (Brenda's sister) and Gary.
• Percy Mulch (voiced by Doug E. Doug) is the African-Caribbean owner of a pet shop.

Merchandising

[edit]

A PC video game, Little Bill Thinks Big, was released on September 29, 2003, for Windows XP and Macintosh.[16] In 2017, the American Library Association reported that the Little Bill series of books was most often targeted for removal in school libraries due to the sexual assault allegations against Bill Cosby.[17]

Production, broadcast, and home media

[edit]

Little Bill was first announced in 1997.[10] It aired on Nickelodeon from November 28, 1999, to February 6, 2004. The first eight episodes premiered on Sunday nights before airing on its preschool-aimed morning block Nick Jr. at a later date. The series confirmed a regular weekday timeslot on Nick Jr. starting on September 4, 2000. Nick Jr. aired reruns until December 22, 2006.[18] The series also aired on CBS during the Nick on CBS block from September 16, 2000[19] until September 9, 2006. In September 2007, Little Bill was moved to the Noggin channel,[20] which advertised it as a "new series".[5] Noggin aired five "premiere episodes" from September 10 to September 15, 2007.[5]

Reruns of Little Bill were shown on the Nick Jr. Channel from September 28, 2009, until February 21, 2014, when Nickelodeon removed the series from its services.[12] In addition to pulling reruns, Little Bill was removed from NickJr.com online in 2014.[21] Commenting on the show's removal from television, Distractify wrote: "Perhaps Little Bill should be left in the past."[12]

In December 2014, TV Guide noted that Little Bill episodes had become difficult to find after the allegations, since the show was no longer aired on television.[22]

During the 2000s, several episodes were released to VHS and DVD by Paramount Home Media Distribution. As of 2025, the series has not been added to Paramount+, but the series remains available on Amazon, iTunes, and Vudu.
