Not to put words in OP’s mouth, but I think they were using “cancel” descriptively, not pejoratively. I don’t think there was a suggestion he didn’t deserve to be cancelled, just that he was.
It's my fault for not being more clear with my language.
But I actually meant "literally" cancelled. The Lego set was planned to come out with an actual REBOOT of the Cosby Show, which was cancelled in the traditional meaning of the word, like the TV did not go to air.

If that was the intent, it was a pretty big mistake to use “before he got cancelled” instead of “before the show got cancelled”. The former construct in modern usage is pretty exclusively used for pejorative references to actions attributed to “cancel culture”.
