I was bored, and I started listening to all the themes from this show at Sitcoms Online. LOL! What was your favorite. Mine was from season 4, where they all had on the dresses and tuxedos...the Top Hats version. Right behind it is from season 2 which was the season where they first started doing the dances. LOL.

I don't know which overall theme I liked the best, they were all good, but I like the season 5 "Tropical Dance" theme the best.

On a sorta related note, I liked the first season theme song for "A Different World." I didn't mind Aretha Franklin's later versions, I just didn't like the newer instrumental as much as the first season's. Like they tried to hip'n (is that a word) it up or something. I love the harmonica and that old school, southern, soul feel it had going on.

Here is my order (from most favorite to least favorite) of the opening sequences/themes for The Cosby Show:

1. Season 2 (the opening that featured a saxophone version of the theme and where the cast was dancing against a gray background)

2. Season 4 (the opening that featured Bobby McFerrin performing the theme and where the cast was dancing against a gray background)

3. Seasons 6 & 7 (the opening--used for both seasons--that featured J.R. Walker perfroming the theme and where the cast was dancing against a background that featured a sign for the Apollo Theater)

4. Season 1 (the computer-enhanced opening of pictures of the family that featured a synthesizer theme)

5. Season 3 (the opening that featured a latin version of the theme and where the cast was dancing against a gray background)

6. Season 5 (the opening that featured an orchestral piece--that was totally different from the show's normal theme--and where the cast was dancing a Hawaiian-type dance)

7. Season 8 (the opening that consisted of shots of grafitti and featured a rap theme)

Actually, I like all the openings except the ones for Seasons 5 and (especially) 8. Those two openings (and themes) really did not fit in well with the show.

    • So I think I figured based on the end credits who is the script writer for each episode. Thursday's episode looked to have been script written by David Kreizman, and it was a well written episode that flowed well. Today's episode looked to have been script written by Henry Newman (son of Fran Myers and the late Roger Newman).   Right now, I've noticed improvements on the day to day scripts and that's a good sign that eventually the long term outlines that we will see in the coming weeks and months will be good.  Fingers crossed.
    • I have a very different view of Dano. For one thing, she like me, loves her little dogs. Another thing, of course she is effusive, outgoing but she is also very vulnerable & she used to have her Frank, her mother & Vivian who officially was her publicist (I think) but she was so much more. Now, they are all gone. Well, except for her always having a pair of her little dogs. But, if I were going to think in your terms, what I would think is "cool aunt". Because this lady is really one cool dame. Here is one of my favorite views of her https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGecq8rJS4w/

    • I found it to be a rather odd way to deal with a character departing for parts unknown.
    • Today reminded me as to why I’m a little disappointed in the name that the new Pope chose

      Luckily, EJ and Johnny, and pretty much every other character saved today’s episode.  I didn’t expect Javi to be the one to save Sarah though, and I don’t mind it at all, because if it means that Javi is finally going to get his own identity/character, away from his douchy bf, I’m all for it. Javi’s scenes would’ve been a lot better had it not been for him. EJ and Johnny were the best part of today. Their conversation hit a lot of important beats and I’m so looking forward to seeing them play out. And now that EJ knows that Johnny is going to work for Xander, that opens up another dynamic to their storyline and to the Kiriakis family storylines as well. Tying them all together could be really good. There are so many story possibilities that can come out of this. And I thought Carson Boatman did a pretty good job again too.  I also liked that Johnny was there to comfort Chanel after everything that happened with Sarah. They’re so good together. But I do have mixed feelings about Chanel possibly forgiving Johnny so quickly. Hopefully, the question that she asked him at the end of today leads to more conflict for the two of them.  And yeah, still no changes in Alex’s character lol 
    • Awesome, thanks so much for taking the time to grab this episode. I had a quick review of your rip because I was curious why it was 700MB and 30 minutes. The first 10 minutes of the episode is 3169 (opening credits at 5 minutes and again at 15 minutes). I thought we had the full HD version of ep.3170 on the YouTube channel, but it appears they added the wrong episode but labelled it 3170. 
    • I guess, according to Mike Manning in the Michael Fairman chat, he was almost Derek

    • I imagine Brad will blow through all the money in a year and come crawling back, just as Portia warned him not to.
