Members Eric83 Posted April 25, 2010 Author Members Share Posted April 25, 2010 Pam sucked. But if it wasn't for her we wouldn't have gotten Charmaine and Lance. Who I loved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted April 25, 2010 Members Share Posted April 25, 2010 That last season just feel alien, the show wasn't the same anymore and it wasn't getting any better. It was time to end it. I never cared for Charmaine and Lance, and I hated the hip-hop opening credits, ugh. It was like Bill started to pay attention to the "haters" who said the show was too "stogy" and "unrealistic" and started to change the tone of the overall show. It's pretty sad when Olivia and Pam were the stars of that last season... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted April 25, 2010 Author Members Share Posted April 25, 2010 (edited) No doubt. Everything about that last season was just akward. It was just the show's time to end. Television was getting edgier, and The Cosby Show couldn't keep up. It ended at the right time, thank god Bill Cosby ended it when he did. It would have only gotten worse.... Too bad that A Different World suffered without it though. Just think of how many critics they proved right when they floundered without their Cosby lead in. LMAO. This opening is hilariously cheesy.

Members DeeeDee Posted April 25, 2010 Members Share Posted April 25, 2010 You asserted that almost every time white people appeared on the show that they were presented as racist. FALSE. You asserted that the show was "preachy" in 5 & 6 in comparison to other seasons. FALSE. You asserted that the election was always mentioned in season 6 when it was only mentioned in maybe THREE episodes. FALSE. You asserted that whites were portrayed as "racist, ignorant, and evil" & that the show was "pushing an agenda that whites are horrible people with no respect for blacks." Both FALSE. You're still projecting. Yes. You did Your assertions didn't become "opinions" until you were presented with evidence to the contrary that you couldn't dispute. Just because you change your assertions to "opinions" doesn't make you any less wrong. You're welcome to dispute the presented facts until then you're just wrong. No. You made assertions you can't dispute when presented with FACTS which clearly prove otherwise. That's not an opinion. That's being wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted April 25, 2010 Members Share Posted April 25, 2010 (edited) A Different World was moved to Friday's during its last season, the only season it aired without The Cosby Show. I think the new day and time hurt it more than anything else, plus the show had been decreasing by some time by that point. In its last season, The Cosby Show finished 18th for the season, in that same season, A Different World finished one place higher at 17th place.

Members Eric83 Posted April 25, 2010 Author Members Share Posted April 25, 2010 (edited) Whatever. I'm done. You can think whatever you want. It was moved to Thursdays at 8pm in its last season. It flopped, and they tried to move it back to 8:30pm until they finally canned in January 1993. They aired the series finale in May on a Friday Night, and then burned the rest if the leftover episodes on Friday Nights during the summer of 1993.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted April 25, 2010 Members Share Posted April 25, 2010 I don't think the show even finished in the top 80 for its last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 25, 2010 Members Share Posted April 25, 2010 (edited) Bill Cosby's mugging had gotten way too OTT by then. I had blocked out Elvin's rat tail. Thanks a lot I didn't know Terri Guaneri was a producer on the show. She was at AW a few years later wasn't she, the year they were disqualified from a Best Writing nomination?

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted April 25, 2010 Members Share Posted April 25, 2010 This was always my favourite opening and theme variation for The Cosby Show: I always found it funny how the show started to revolve around Denise and Olivia when Lisa Bonet came back from A Different World, and then Lisa and Bill had another falling out and that was it for the Denise character... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted April 25, 2010 Members Share Posted April 25, 2010 (edited) A lot of the problem had to do with the kids. Sondra was too old to do cute kid stuff, Bill had problems with Lisa, Tempest was in school & adorable as Keisha was as a kid she was NOT a sympathetic teen actress. Which left Malcolm (who Bill favored) who did a LOT of the heavy lifting (along with Tempest & Raven) as far as the kids toward the end. Erika was brought on to help the show be more "earthy" & help Tempest but besides the brief sex story the show never gave Pam much to work with. Raven was a wonderful actress especially at first but then the writers wrote her too precocious as she aged.

Members DRW50 Posted April 25, 2010 Members Share Posted April 25, 2010 I felt like Tempest's story in the last season was a little too serious for her, although I liked the idea of it. I know what you mean about the kids. Olivia was great, in certain doses, but they also had her friends, and then they brought in Sandra and Elvin's twins... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
