Wow, Rudy is just gorgeous! I had seen her on things and never put two and two together and realized that she was Rudy "guess I should have checked the credits lol"... With Raven it's obvious, she looks exactly the same as cute as ever, but Keisha really changed in my opinion... I could see Rudy's smile in her face AFTER it was pointed out that that is who she was... but I do not know that I ever would have figured it out. She is really beautiful... they have all aged wonderfully.
I agree!! I've seen Rudy acting on shows and I had no clue that was Rudy!! Same with Olivia I had no clue that was her either lol she was so young I guess that's why
Rockin Roberts which god huh, is your god of afrikaan culture or European culture, because according to that plagerized fabricated religious comic book called the bybull it says that this god character is from the land of Egypt which is afrika, so which god character are you giving thanks to.
but no one complains to the networks and then they get enough people watching (b/c there is nothing on anyway) they think that's what we want. it's sad and only to get worse.
Raven looks uncomfortable because she was added to the show during its last years and she was like 4 years old. So she doesn't have as much memories as the rest of the cast
The Cosby Show is the best family sitcom ever! It has the jazz and the soul, many great musicians showed up in it. Like Stevie Wonder and Tito Puente just to name two.
It is realistic. It's a comedy, so it presents some of life's situations in a lighthearted way. It's one show, so it's not supposed to represent every facet of life's experience. It was written so the whole family could watch, hence the "clean" writing. It was well-written and the casting was fantastic. This is why, unlike much of the current programming, it is easy to watch and enjoy without all the raunchiness decades later. A true classic is what it is.
I could tell Al Roker really enjoyed doing this interview...he had fun, it probably didn't feel like a job, because he had so much fun with the Cosbys. :D
Aww I always feel bad for Raven during these because she can't remember too much anymore about being on such an iconic sitcom, like your childhood was great and you can't remember it. She was so cute as Olivia
This cast was the closest to reality T.V. They are what I miss most about television programming. Thank God I have the option to show my children this show even today. They are talking about college and they are under 10 years old. And Felica Rashad almost brought me to tears with her favorite moment. She saw them as jewels and they weren't even her biological children. I know parents that still haven't gotten there yet with their own flesh and blood.
After the interview with Matt and then the interview with Al, I STILL wasn't ready for that line from Bill at 9:39. I thought I was absolutely going to die! I literally sat here and played it 10 times or so in a row, with tears from the laughter. :-D
I still watch The Cosby Show I love one Tho came home with pierced ear. Rudy asked what happen to his ear grandparents right there Tho said inpress a girl he liked.
this is the only show that could say in the first episode "why do we have 4 children?" and a few episodes later have a 5th child pop up and still roll on to greatness.
I always thought nothing can beat "British comedy" until I found "Cosby"...I salue you Sir...very educational and genius this family show was...truly decent....
Come to think of it... it must have been the first "all-black" TV show I ever saw in my country which at the time was not as ethnically diverse as the USA. The show was so funny and not too overacted as many of today's US family sitcoms are. Bill Cosby IS an icon, and there were stereotypes for sure, but I remember them fondly. Nostalgia, nostalgia...
This proves that no matter how old this man gets he is still the best clean humor comedian ever. His moral values and integrity as a man , father , and human being are second to none from anyone else in Hollywood. I hope one day that Hollywood can find others like him and produce shows like his for those of us who can do without the delusions of sex, drugs , and profanity and can enjoy moral straight ,clean ,family oriented humor.
While those shows you mentioned are good shows (I would also add Fringe, the Big Bang, Once Upon a Time, Dexter, and the Walking Dead) there isn't one of those shows that I would watch with my 5 and 7 year old. I used to love watching Cosby with my parents and little brother. There are no clean cut family oriented shows out there. Not even a Disney special on Sunday nights! Comedies are all aimed at adults only.
the film you're talking about that Lisa Bonet starred in was Angel Heart... Bill didn't push Lisa away. He allowed Lisa back on the show after she made that movie. But, according to rumors another cast member didn't want her back and Lisa noticed it. That's when Lisa left the show on her own and didn't return for the series finale and that's why Lisa refuses to this day to be a part of any of the re-unions. The rumor is that someone gave her the cold shoulder between takes and behind scenes
Great show, great stuff. Gotta love the subtle irony of a show about a middle class African-American family being the most popular of the '80s against a backdrop of Reaganomics when droves of Americans & disproportionately higher numbers of African-Americans were struggling through record unemployment and foreclosure. LOL, yep, i saw Color Adjustment.
