Wissenswertes
At the beginning of the pilot, Sondra, the Huxtables' eldest daughter, was added as an afterthought. However, when Clair Huxtable mentions the couple's four children, they decide to add another child to represent the results of a good upbringing. The casting came down to 26-year-old Sabrina Le Beauf and 21-year-old Whitney Houston. LeBeauf was too old for the role, only ten years younger than Phylicia Rashad. However, Houston refused to sign a contract committing her to the show as she wanted to pursue her singing career. This forced the producer's hand, and LeBeauf was given the role of Sondra.

Patzer
In the first season, Cliff's name was Clifford. In later seasons, his name was Heathcliff. In the first episode of the final season, Clair calls him Heathclifford.

Zitate
Clair Huxtable: Cliff, why did we have four children?
Cliff: Because we did not want five.

Crazy Credits
The season after Lisa Bonet left the series, Bill Cosby can be seen holding a photo of Bonet during the opening credits.

Alternative Versionen
The season 1 DVD set was made up of edited, syndication-length episodes missing about 2 minutes per episode from their original broadcast. It was only because of the consumer outcry that season 2 and beyond were released unedited. The "Complete Series" set includes all 8 seasons, including the first one, in the original uncut network versions.

One of the greatest sitcoms to date

The Cosby Show is one of those few trailblazing programs that grace television screens and leave an indelible mark. A situation comedy featuring a well-off African American family residing in a Brooklyn townhouse, The Cosby Show was also ultimately the brainchild and vehicle of comedian-extraordinare, Bill Cosby. Cosby's stage routine during his later years featured tales of his large family of five children, four girls and one boy, and his beloved wife, Camille, and these stories are translated exceptionally well on the small screen with a wonderful ensemble cast headed by Cosby and Phylicia Rashad (nee Allen).

I'm sure faithful viewers all have their favorite episodes, and we can always reminice in this terrific journey through the life of Bill Cosby through the fictional existence of Dr. Heathcliff Huxtable.

For eight glorious seasons, The Cosby Show ruled the airwaves and our hearts, and luckily, we can still enter this great world on syndication all over the world.
