Summary
Watching The Cosby Show on Thursday nights was a family ritual in my household. From the opening credits featuring Bill Cosby’s inimitable dance moves to the daily dramas of Cliff, Claire, and the kids, I looked forward to seeing what the Huxtables would be up to each week. What loving affection would transpire between Cliff and Claire? Would Sondra be home from college? What would Denise be wearing? How would Theo get into trouble? Whose business would Vanessa have her nose in now? Most importantly, would we get to hear Rudy call Kenny “Bud?” No matter what happened, The Cosby Show guaranteed good, wholesome, family fun.
