| Editorial Reviews:
Cosby sounds fired up on this live one. "Kindergarten" kicks off the disc in fine fashion with the soon-to-be TV star's spot-on and kid-centered description of early grammar school. Cosby accurately captures the strangeness of a time when a lot of things don't quite make sense and you are constantly being told what to do. "Personal Hygiene" and "Shop" take us through junior high before we arrive at the comedian's tales of young adulthood on the disc's last five tracks. "Hofstra" closes the CD with an eight-minute depiction of a very bad college football team before and during another humiliating game. Cosby manages to turn the awful team's terror and suffering into an occasion for laughs. Like other Cosby albums from the '60s, Why Is There Air? is full of the comic's highly effective sound effects. --Fred Cisterna

"Why Is There Air" Is Hilarious!!!!!! September 13, 2001

This album is hilarious. You'll laugh till it hurts. This album has some of the funniest routines I have ever heard.
Like "Kindergarten" and how they never learn anything exept how to say goodbye to your parents without crying, And of course there's nothing better for a bunch of five year old children, than a glass of..Luke-warm, Curdly Milk (In Cosby's own words).
Or "Driving in "San Francisco".
And "Hofstra", one of my favorites, I'll never forget the way Cosby says, "And the pain.....Was..Tremendous.....And I dropped the ball.....and I said..OH.". That makes me laugh so hard evry time I hear it. Those and others are all on this album. Correction.. Those and other Wonderfull routines are on this HILARIOUS album. I recommend you get this. I order you to get this. SO, GET IT.

in an era where "comedy" seems to be the ethnic joke of the year, bill cosby manages to still rise above the blind hatred that seems to permeate our society. his comedy is the perfect remedy for the rage that runs rampant today. i listened to his comedy as a child, but somehow, my cassettes have been misplaced. why not stock up on cds?!?!? i miss it terribly, and i want my children to understand what true comedy really is. humor shouldn't be derived from belittling a culture or race . . . yet that's what most of today's comedy has become. enjoy bill's humor--buy a cd of his today!!!!!!

My brother and I used to listen to Bill Cosby records on our partents' Hi-Fi, and we laughed til we cried. When I talk with my own kids I often make references to "Brain Damage" or "The Chicken Heart" or "Lombard Street", and they don't know what I'm talking about...you know the weird look they give you, "whatever mom". So I bought the CDs of all of Cosby's early skits and now THEY'RE quoting "Noah" and singing their own go-cart songs. In a time when I hvae to check evey video game, CD and book for parental warning lables, these CDs present a wonderful opportunity for me to connect with my kids in a family friendly environment. The topics are as fresh and timely as they were in the 60's and you can count on Bill to keep it rated G. I recommend you purchase a couple or all of the CDs and have a good laugh with a generation that doesn't even know what a record is. Have fun!

This CD has one of my all time favorite routines on it. The $75 car. The whole description of him driving on ice and spinning out is a riot. The Kindergarden stories about "snack time" and wishing for a baby ruth bar, and getting a dry old narly gag in your throat gram cracker. Wanting a drink and getting luke warm curddly milk left kept by the radiator. What a riot. My kids and I laughed and laughed and played it again. Great stores about life and growing up.

Bill's 3rd album is full of hilarious stories. The Toothache and Hofstra ("You better not touch certain areas of your body on the football field") are classic Cos. You'll be surprised what Cos uses to cure his toothache. It's all good clean fun.
