Product Description:
The Cosby Show appeared on NBC from 1984 to 1992 becoming one of the most popular programs in the history of television. The Cosby Show depicted a close-knit and prosperous African-American family (The Huxtables) that dwelled in New York City. Dr. Heathcliff (OB-GYN) and Clair (attorney) Huxtable were a happily married dual-profession couple with aspirations of raising their 5 children in an uplifting positive environment. The Cosby Show held TV's #1 slot for a record 5 consecutive years (1985 to 1990) and stayed in the Top 20 shows for all eight seasons it was on NBC.

Rating:  - More Changes, More Laughs.
If Season 6 of The Cosby Show was a turnaround season for the cast of characters, it also paved the way for the changes that took place in Season 7. Here we have Vanessa and Rudy both making great changes in their lives; Rudy enters sixth grade and starts getting her period; Vanessa begins college one year before the rest of her age group.
Big changes for Clair as well: she accepts her second cousin Pam Tucker into the Huxtable home and - respectively begins menapause. We also witness Sondra beginning her law degree, Elvin starting his practice and Denise taking a serious step toward becoming a teacher.
Among the season's best moments are "Bird in the Hand," "Period of Adjustment," "It's All in the Game," "The Infantry has Landed," "You Can Go Home Again," "Clair's Liberation," "Return of the Clairettes," "Home Remedies," "Nightmare on Stigwood Avenue," "Cliff and Jake" (wonderful appearance by Red Buttons) and the two-parte season finale "Theo and the Kids."
[I'm interested in finding out if that's really Tempestt, Erika Alexander and Karen Malina White doing the groovy Supremes-meets-Ronnettes-meets-Pointer-Sisters vocals during "Nightmare on Stigwood Avenue."]
And then, there's the silly mistake someone made in the packaging when the titles of "No More Mr. Nice Guy" and "Attack of the Killer 'B's" were mismatched. To make up for this error - it'd be neat if First Look distributed at least a couple more seasons of A Different World. (Ha ha ... Read More
Rating: - Great. great. great
Again, I have not been let down. Money worth spent considering I'm From Malaysia. Bill Cosby is amazing, as always. Clair is as usual the best woman ever. We see a new side of Theo, Olivia is as cute as ever and Rudy is growing up to be a young lady. You don't see much of Vanessa and Denise. Sondra and Elvin grace the scene occasionally with their adorable twins, Winnie and Nelson, who have grown so fast. Pam and her friends add some great humour to the scenes, especially Charmaine and Lance. I just love them.
I love it, I recommend it to everyone who love comedy. Also to parents, watch it with your kids as I do with my kids and the family values implemented by the Huxtables to their kids are a lesson to both us and our kids.
Buy it, you won't regret it.
Rating:  - Erika Alexander, So Glad to See You!
Rudy had always been my favorite on "The Cosby Show" because I was only slightly younger than her, so I connected with her the most in previous seasons. However, Erika Alexander's character, Pam, stepped on the scene, and I immediately switched gears. Although it was fun to see Lisa Bonet's character, Denise Huxtable, come back into "The Cosby Show" as a more responsible mother and structured student, during this season I was getting older, "A Different World" was on, and I wanted to know about that older generation of young adults who were going to college but still at that cool age where they were hanging out, had jobs, but weren't quite full-grown adults. This was that particular season for me.
Cons: I fast forwarded through pretty much all of the shows with Olivia. Of course she was very cute, but the cutesy thing got old after a few moments. I didn't need to see the episodes where she dragged out trying to cook, sneaking cake, having an invisible dog, wanting to be president and a football player, coloring on walls, arguing with Rudy, and so forth. They were boring. I loved her in the "Home Remedies" episode because she took me back to the earlier episodes of the Cosby Show when Rudy was the cute one, and they did musical numbers. For awhile, this season seemed like the Cosby Show was relying on kids being cute: Sondra's twins, Olivia being an adorable but bratty younger "sibling", and a bunch of episodes about parents having babies. Some episodes were just flat out unnecessary like ... Read More
Rating: - The Cosby Show Season 7
I noticed the preview of episode 19 and 14 are mixed up on the discs but great episodes anyway. What is the title of the slow song played at the party in the Theo's Final Final episode? I find it very smooth and romantic. With the talking during the party between Theo and Cheryl, it's hard to make out the words. Great TV Show.
Rating: - A fall from #1
The show started to slide a little as is typical of shows that feature child characters aging. But it was still strong. The addition of Pam, Charmaine and Lance were all plusses and allowed for some good story lines. The continued precociousness of Olivia was a plus. Unfortunately we didn't see enough of the Sondra and Elvin characters although their loss meant not having to see the twins, Winnie and Nelson, who I thought were not good additions. A huge plus was the extremely limited screen time of Vanessa, who had taken on too many similarities to Denise. One flake in a show is enough.
My DVD also had episodes 14 and 19 mislabeled.
