Nice banner!.

I really like those early seasons the best. It's not quite the same when the kids on shows get older.

**Melis** · 08-22-2009, 05:19 PM

Yeah, they were cute then. I hated when they brought in Cousin Pam.

Barrybgb · 08-22-2009, 06:04 PM

I didn't like Pam either. It seemed like there was someone new every season for a while there. Lol. I don't know what purpose Pam was supposed to serve.

Thanks for the new thread! Can we vote on a title?

I liked Pam, mostly because she brought Charmaine and Lance with her. They were my faves.

I think Pam was supposed to serve as a teenager in the house because Vanessa was off at college.

**Melis** · 08-22-2009, 06:49 PM

I guess we can vote on a title. I didn't see anyone make any suggestions, so whatever. Also, there's about three people who post in this thread. There's not many to vote.

Yeah, as soon as a kid grows up or leaves, they have to replace him/her. Rudy grew up and they brought in Olivia. Vanessa left then Pam came in.

Barrybgb · 08-23-2009, 08:14 AM

And everyone they replace them with are never good, or never as good. Okay, Olivia was cute and funny, but Pam and other kids on other shows just don't cut it.

I did kinda like Charmaine tho.

**Melis** · 08-23-2009, 08:41 AM

Olivia got on my nerves sometimes. It's like they were forcing her to be cute. It didn't help that Raven was/is a bad actress. They were constantly trying to give Olivia "grown up" lines because they thought it was cute. Example: When she was trying to Cliff a joke. "It's not my fault you didn't get it." Yeah, so not funny.

Charmaine could be funny.

Ruby_Slippers · 08-23-2009, 11:55 AM

Sorry. I hope you aren't offended.

What's the current title from?

Here are my suggestions:

Two Words: Eunice Chantilly.
"I am your father. I brought you into this world, and I'll take you out!"
Because The Huxtables Dancing on the Staircase is Iconic.

**Melis** · 08-23-2009, 12:18 PM

I'm not. Don't worry.

The title is something Rudy said to Cliff after she stole the money to buy a shirt. He asked her why she didn't ask for it. She told him that he would just ask "Do you Know how much coal miners made in 1919?" The title was about all of Cliff's crazy stories.

I like all of the titles. We should save them and use them for future titles. They're too good to waste.

I watched the Stevie Wonder episode. That was a great eppy.

BTW, has anyone ever had a bacon burger dog? Those things look disgusting. I don't know how Theo ate them.

Barrybgb · 08-29-2009, 10:56 AM

Oh I like that episode a lot!. I remember that one well. Only on Cosby do you run into Stevie Wonder and then get invited to the studio and sing with him. Lol. A great episode.

Can't say I've ever had a bacon burger dog. Lol.

**Melis** · 08-29-2009, 01:50 PM

Hehe! Yeah, strange things happened on the Cosby Show. It was fun to see them in the studio.

The Cosby family always had apple juice to drink. Lol Maybe they wanted to show them drinking healthy drinks.

Barrybgb · 08-29-2009, 03:49 PM

It sure was fun.

I hadn't really noticed the apple juice. Pop isn't good for the Huxtable children. Lol.

**Melis** · 08-29-2009, 06:49 PM

I'm sure Claire, who was always after Cliff for his poor eating habits, would not allow the kids to drink unhealthy drinks.

I'm watching the real world episode. I can't believe Theo just played along with it. My brother would have been like "Yeah, whatever."
