[…] Stage 2: Long-term. The compatibility issues are obvious. If I had to classify my friends as Muppets, trends would suggest I prefer the company of Gonzos, Animals, Rolphs, Kermits, and Fozzies. Not only is WW a Janice by choice, but her favorite Huxtable is Sondra, and she dislikes Bill Murray movies with a particular hatred for Groundhog Day. If it were anyone else, I would suggest that people like her shouldn’t be protected by the First Amendment. I don’t ever want to have to tell my kids that there mother is a godless communist, but it would be irresponsible of me as a parent if I allowed her to promote her twisted value system. […]

I most identify with Panthro

See, Denise is the OBVIOUS choice. Sure, she was the cool and pretty one, but I think she learned some of her game from older sis Sondra. Sondra did her own thing, and I never felt like she was a poseur. She was a little dry, a little dorky and, perhaps, pretentious. However, maybe Sonda was just dignified compared to her slacker siblings. Also, Elvin is THE “nice guy” of the century–not something to under-value. So, I stand by my choice: I’d party with Denise, but my true friend would have been Sondra.

And I was always kinda waiting for Granpa’s hand to shake right off his wrist. Might be cruel, but I was a kid at the time and I remember thinking,” What’s wrong with his hand? Is he going to shake it right off his arm? That’s be cool!”

Z, I think you’re way downplaying Grandpa Huxtable. Unbeknownst to his son and his family, he was moonlighting as Panthro (AKA “Panthro the Great”)

Took me about a minute to find this video for Chingy’s “One Call Away”: http://youtube.com/watch?v=bQBmDorsSwY. Then I wasted three minutes watching Rudy star in one of those “romantic” hip hop videos. Then it was entirely redeemed in the last twenty seconds, when real Hip Hop Video Girls show up.

I was really trying to avoid the Denise-extramarital affair bit. SHE WAS JUST LIGHT-SKINNED!

Yeah, I like the Cosby Show too, but I don’t care for the later episodes where it seemed like some new batch of kids was showing up every episode. You would turn it on and be like “who the fuck is that”. I’m pretty sure they were running an orphanage out of that house at the end there.

Wasn’t Rudy recently all grown up and sexy and in some music video? Give me a link to that shit.

Also, they never addressed the fact that Denise is clearly the product of an extramarital interacial affair.

Thank the internets for Wikipedia. Kenny also went by the nickname of “Bud.” Another reason why that kid was cool.

As far as Grandpa and Grandma, they were just good people. You could tell that they were the reason the kids grew up so good. They were always encouraging Rudy’s cuteness, keeping Theo in line, reassuring Vanessa that everything would be okay, and trying to cheer up Denise by light-heartedly throwing Cliff under the bus. Now I’m positive Sondra could never have been a result of that environment. Perhaps there was an element of backstory that we never knew about, like those years Cliff was doing his residency, money was tight, they lived in a small one-bedroom in the Bronx and he and Claire came close to divorcing a couple times. That would make much more sense.
