My favourite episode is when Claire discovers that she's put on too much weight to wear a certain dress and went on a diet. There was a showdown between Claire and her personal trainer played by Debbie Allen about who got the last crouton. I still laugh and that episode is 22 years old!

HEY WHERE'D THAT DECO LEOTARD GO?

BETTY THREE FEET TO YOUR LEFT!

I SWEAR TO GOD I was going to mention the Deco leotard but thought my random references were in vain, DeeeDee, I like you.

Major love to you both. I just found the episode online and watched it. I laughed just as hard as the first time.

This is the Vanessa episode and this re-affirmed my love for Claire Huxtable. PR really got into this scene:

PART 1

Part 2

but I'd like my punishment before I goto bed

I also love this scene. "If you ever take this attitude with us again, you can take what-ever is in that bank account of yours and go discover america

Denise was my favorite too,

and then rudy

One of my favorite episodes is Mrs. Westlake.

Ah yes, Sonia Braga! That was a good one, how stunned Theo looked when he saw her with her hair down and then when she pinned it back up and put on her glasses. Kind of reminds me of Ms. Avery from Degrassi Jr. High.

Everyone looks great! Look at Keisha's legs! Wouldn't mind seeing those heels on either side of my ears.

Raven looks so nice and trim, as does Tempestt, and Ms. Rashad strikes an elegant pose as per usual.

But where's Lilakoi??

Now you know Mr Cosby retconned her out of existence....lol

Thats the best Ive ever seen Tempest. She was looking a mess after the show ended. Raven looks so fab

This thread popping up again is so timely. I have been watching episodes of The Cosby Show on YT. The early seasons were classic and very funny. So many great episodes. I love the ones where they celebrate the grandparents' 20th aniversary by performing Ray Charles, Sandra going into labor, Cliff and the Prof played by Roscoe Brown playing pinocle with his father and partner, Claire and Cliff teaching Theo about managing his money in real life, Cliff taking care Rudy when she was sick... Too many too count. I am amazed by the talent and quality of most of the guest stars. I just watched the episode with Christopher Plummer, Roscoe Brown, and Earle Hayman acting scenes from Julius Ceasar. It is definitely one of the best comedies ever on network tv. I can't believe that anyone could hate Claire or anyone on that show. I found Pam and her crew a bit annoying at first, but they grew on me.

I cannot get over how Keisha has grown up. I still see Rudy. Too bad Cosby and Lisa Bonet cannot get pass their issues. Her omission in that picture is glaring.

Some fans over at IMDb give Clair SUCH a hard time, most likely younger kids whose folks let them talk to them any kind of way and get away with murder. I love her, she and Julia Sugarbaker can elegantly lay somebody out like no other.

Taping in NY, they landed all of that great NY theatre talent, it was truly wonderful. The show felt like New York.

One of my favorite episodes is Claire laying to Vanessa for lying and going to a concert in Baltimore. I just love Claire. You are right that she and Julia Sugarbaker could be twins. So funny you brought ups Julia because I was just watching episodes of Desigining Women on YT as well.

I seriously cannot get over the fact that some people actually hate Claire. She was the backbone of that family. Cosby made a point of showing almost every episode that she held them together. It was clear that he loved her too bits and worshiped at her feet which was so sweet. I swear, the online community is so out there on some topics at times. However, I rarely see a bad word about Claire in the comments on YT.

Sondra hasn't aged a day.

Was Lisa Bonet at the SAG Awards last night? They cut to a woman with a very dirty looking man and she looked a lot like Lisa.

I can't stand Clair, she's a smug know it all bitch and I think she treats people like crap most of the time.
