The Cosby Show: Season 8

This is a wonderful show, not to be missed. Regardless of what Bill Cosby did in his private life, the show stands on its own merits. Warm family values, very funny, great acting. I watch it with my 104-year-old mom who loves it! Can only watch via streaming.

love this show, always have, dont mind rewatching them either. funny thing is Bill Cosby butt heads with Denise the actress, didnt want her expecting, fired her, then has the show saying she was expecting by phone call. still love this show!

So, this is it, the last season's worth of hurrah for the principal cast of The Cosby Show. Just as many changes with just as many laughs as the previous three seasons. Who would ever have guessed at the beginning of the series that Theo would get anywhere close to earning his bachelor's degree? Or that litle Rudy would go through the usual trials and tribulations of a typical American teenager? And, what about Vanessa's of-again-on-again engagement to an older guy that finds her annoying? And, watching all of them is as funny as ever. We don't actually see Denise Kendall on camera throughout this season, as she and Martin are now living in Singapore (Theo and Olivia plan to visit them at the show's close). And, who ends up moving into the house in their place? Sondra, Elvin - Winnie and Nelson. Who else could bring Dr. Huxtable first to put a playpen over their heads, then to point a dust buster at his own skull? (I ask you, folks!) But, nothing in the world, funny, dramatic, surrealistic, whatever can match the last scene when Cliff finally repairs the doorbell (malfunctioning throughout that season), grabs hold of Clair and literally dances her out into the audience and through the studio exit. Dancing to the showtune, "If I Were a Bell..." One of the details of the series finale,"And So, We Commence" is a flashback to the series pilot, when Theo has gotten a report card full of D's and tries to pass it off as a result of not being brilliant like Cliff & Clair. This detail gives this reviewer a certain attitude about the series on the whole. It really wasn't as much about Dr. Huxtable or the family on the whole. It was about Theo and his struggles to harness his true intellectual potential. [Certainly, he had the greatest character arc and was the focus of both the first and last episodes.] I wonder if Malcolm realizes this.

Funny, light and entertaining without profanity!

My daughter loves the Cosby Show and she’s only 4. Definitely a Classic Series. I definitely get a kick out of my daughter watching the shows that I grew up on.

I"M HAPPY TO REPORT THAT I'VE COLLECTED ALL 8 SEASONS ON DVD AND COSBY IS JUST WONDERFUL! OF COURSE COSBY SHOW HAD IT CONTROVERSY...ABOUT A AFRO-AMERICAN FAMILY...ONE LAWYER...ONE DOCTOR...FIVE CHILDREN, 4 WENT TO COLLEGE...ONE CHILD DROPPED OUT, BUT WENT BACK AND COBSY WAS VERY UNDERSTANDING AND HUMBLE ABOUT ALL CIRCUMSTANCES. TO MANY PEOPLE, THEY THOUGHT THAT IT WAS A BIT STRANGE OR AKWARD TO SEE A FAMILY OF COLOR WITH SUCH DIGNIFIED MANNERS, VERY EDUCATED, LIVE IN SUCH A BEAUTIFUL HOME, PARENTAL-INVOLVEMENT IN ALL ACTIVITIES(INCLUDING EDUCATION)...AND MANY SAID...THAT IT WAS JUST SIMPLY UNCOMMON...THIS SHOW IS COMMON AND I'M SO VERY GLAD THAT THIS SHOW CHANGED THAT WAY OF THINKING...ESPECIALLY WHEN IT CAME TO RAISING A BLACK FAMILY...I LIKE IN THE COSBY SHOW IS A PRIME EXAMPLE...MY PARENTS ARE BOTH COLLEGE-EDUCATED, WENT TO THE TOP UNIVERSITIES...I GOT THE BEST EDUCATION AS WELL...SO...YES, THERE ARE SOME EDUCATED AFRO-AMERICAN FAMILIES...HEY...JUST LOOK AT OUR PRESIDENT...HA HA HA...DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT.

I absolutely love the Cosby Show. Every episode reminds me of being a kid and wanting to wat h it. Many life lessons are learned in the show

Parfait

Toujours pas démodé 20 ans après ! Ma fille de 11 ans adore. Même ses copines sont devenues fans. Les thèmes traités dans les différents épisodes peuvent être l'occasion de discussions en famille. Je recommande.
