In 1984, “The Cosby Show”, TV Comedy, debut on NBC. It lasted eight seasons and made NBC the Network of Bill Cosby. It was the most popular sitcom ever. Factor four [sic] kids into a two career marriage and itʹs not difficult to understand why Cliff and Claire Huxtable react the way they do when son Theodore brings home an atrocious report card in the opener or when daughter Denise has a date with a fellow sporting an earring and confessing to having sojourned in a Turkish prison. Bill Cosby played Doctor Heathcliff (Cliff) Huxtable. His lovely wife, Clair, was played by Phylicia Rashad. The Huxtable kids were Sondra, age 20 (Sabrina Le Beauf), Denise, age 16 (Lisa Bonet), Theodore, age 14 (Malcom-Jamal Warner), Vanessa, age eight (Tempestt Bledsoe) and Rudy, age five (Keshia Knight Pulliam). The premiere was the most watched show of the week and the show went on to become an Emmy Award-winner and one of the most popular on television for eight years. Theo explains to his father that he isnʹt interested in having a career. “Dad,” he implores, “canʹt you just accept me and love me 'cause Iʹm your son?” Giving this serious thought, Cliff Huxtable says, “Thatʹs the dumbest thing Iʹve ever heard.” The early exchange was emblematic of this landmark sitcom: smart but amusing family dynamics presided over by parents (Bill Cosby and Phylicia Rashad) who were affectionately authoritative.
