Bill Cosby's reassuring and familiar voice pauses. They're deliberate pauses, perfectly timed breaks he has down to a science, evident in his first televised comedy special in 30 years, "Bill Cosby: Far From Finished" Saturday, Nov. 23, on Comedy Central.
Taped at the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts near Los Angeles, it's more of a sit-down than a stand-up show. Cosby mines subjects he knows well: long-term marriages (he and Camille have been wed for 49 years) and kids (they had five). He tells stories about the differences between pals and wives.

From 1965 through 1972, Cosby won a Grammy annually for best comedy performance or for best recording for children, then won another in 1987. In "I Spy" (1965-68), he became the...
