The Cosby Show

Oh, there's plenty of inuendo in the Cosby show!

But it's definitely more wholesome than most stuff on TV.  I used to love to watch it as a kid.  I keep getting sucked into the episodes on TV land. :D

Ha!  That''s awesome!  Yes!  

"Where did you get this done?"

"Cockroach's house."  We were all cracking up.  I absolutely loved this show for the first 3 or 4 years of it...by the time they added the Raven Simone girl to it it had sadly jumped the shark.  Oh well, the first few seasons are amazing...great family tv in my opinion.

We watched Rudy's party this weekend.  You know, the one with Peter.

that was the pilot!  it was on just the other day...great stuff.

"I brought you into this world, and I'll take you out!"  

I love the one where Cliff cuts out the middle of a cake and fills with paper towel and ices over the rest. HA!

He was always talking about hoagies and I never really knew what that was ...

I also loved that Claire actually yelled at her kids - she wasn't June Cleaver but she was still an awesome mom!

When I was a kid, we lived in Central America, before proliferation of satellite tv.  We watched the same 10 episodes of the Cosby Show so much I would translate them to my mexican friends. 

I heard one of his early standup routines where he talks about being a Corpsman (or as the President calls them "Corpse Men").  He had stories of amphibious assaults from the Korean War wounded he would treat at the hospital.  He found humor in that.  He found humor in a burial at sea.  He's one of those guys who when the going gets tough you want him around because he'll make your day better.

He's a real treasure.  I think that show did as much to improve race relations as any form of entertainment ever has. And what a great role model as a Dad. He always came-down hard when he needed to, loved his kids no matter what, loved his wife above all.  Great show, great man. I know he's not dead, but why aren't we making a big deal of him before he dies?

Thanks for the Thread, just brought back a lot of good memories.

"No 15 year old boy needs to wear a $95 shirt unless he's on-stage, singing with his 4 brothers!"

"Theo, It's tucked into my socks!!!"

That happens like every episode, right?

Must be an east coast thing?

Yeah, that house was ruled with an iron fist and the kids still got in trouble but somehow it all worked out...WITH both parents gone all day working!  Crazy talk!

Very, Very Scary

True, he was always trying to eat some food he wasn't supposed to have ...

Which reminds me of one off the wall episode where he has a dream that he gives birth to a giant hoagie and a bottle of pop!

And another awesome thing - i loved especially as a kid when they would do the 'lip synch' to Ray Charles (i think it was) on the stairs. I think they did a few of those and it was such fun.
