Cockroach and Theo had great chemistry, it's a shame they couldn;t have done a spinoff together. Denise was a entertaining character but Cockroach was the man. Cockroach best moment on the show was his last appearance when he danced with TINA on Dance Mania.

Cockroach. I didn't really care for Denise

I actually liked Denise until they made her goofy.

I think Denise Goofiest Moment was when she got her driver's license

"I got my license, yeah yeah yeah"-LOL LOL

Cockroach

Cockroach's departure bothered me the most, I don't remember them even mentioning him after he left. He was cool.

There probably was never a explanation for the cockroach character not being seen because the character who played cockroach had a argument with Bill Cosby and left the show

Carl Anthony Payne was let go by Cosby due to his use of texturizer in his hair. Cosby did not allow any of the actors to use it and Payne apparently didn't agree.

It's all good though cause a few years as we all know, he landed on 'Martin' and that lasted for 5 years

I was sad to see Denise grow up,and go away.I thought she was great on the show,but mostly when she was younger.

Denise was great, they ruined her character when she came back from Africa with a husband and step daughter. IMO

Denise was defintely the only funny Huxtable Daughter

The character went on a downhill spiral when they made more goofier and irresponsible. The first two seasons of the show she did have an edge about her but she was a straight A student. When she went on to do her spinoff A Different World the character changed and when she came back for those few episodes the following the dive began. The Africa storyline was a bit much. But her return was great but giving her a husband with a stepdaughter was not a good move. When Cosby let her Olivia should had gone too. The Denise character was not handled very well with the writers. If the show needed that kid factor for Cosby then they should have featured Sondra and Elvin's twins more. Olivia was on more than the twins.

I thought Denise's departure was the more bothersome because it had its strange moments, like where Martin came back to visit Olivia by himself, leaving Denise in Asia.

I most definitely have to agree with you there! I loved her during season two. I thought she was the best in that season with that Linda Dano shortcut and her comical antics. I loved the license episode. TSA, you nailed this one!

Cockroaches and Denises absence bother me

Now this what i didnt understand: They let cockroach go because his hair was too long or the texture wasnt right, However Theo had a high-top fade with the top part of his hair dyed light brown later on in the show.

it had something to do with Coachroach using CHEMICALS in his hair. Like some type of activator that gives a guy a Gerry Curl or S Curl

At the time, it was Denise. I actually didn't notice Cockroach missing at first because he wasn't a main character.

Looking back, Denise was totally annoying and I miss Cockroach - he was a good guy!

Wasn't the last ep he was in the one where he stood up for his teacher when she went into labour unexpectedly?

Oh o.k. - yeah it was a good one.

I always wondered what happened to - was it Bobby? The fat little quiet guy friend of Rudy's. Maybe when he grew a bit he just wasn't as cute anymore.

His name was Peter. His character was pointless with a capital P-lol His character on the Cosby Show was like the Bartender on Three's Company-lol

PETER - that's it! (I knew Bobby was wrong) :rolleyes: Oh I know he was pointless - just brought in for the cute factor when Rudy had her sleepover and the dentist one. You know who were truly pointless - the white neighbour characters - Peter's dad, and that annoying little guy with the squeaky voice. They always made them out to be a little goofy too. I guess its payback for all the maid roles blacks had to endure in the early years.

Sorry for going O/T. :wave:

Cockroach.
