My three worst:

"Play it Again Russell": Let's watch an old fart play the trombone.

"The Auction": An episode about bidding on a stupid painting. (This was nothing more than a half-hour of E-Bay!)

"Hillman": Making such a big deal about visiting slacker Denise at college, like she was some straight-A student or something......GARBAGE!

Jack

PS. Almost all episodes with the grandparents are crap!

Petanque
Cliff's 50th Birthday
Hillman
Play It Again, Russell
There's Still No Joy in Mudville
Olivia's Field Trip
The Price is Wrong
Clair's Reunion

While this is possibly my favorite show of all time, there were many boring ones.

I'm with all of you. I didnt want to say anything before but there have been some boring episodes. Ironically, some of the funny episodes were fantastic(Mr. Fish, Gordon Gartrelle etc.) There were episodes that were just boring. The Petanque episode is up there as well as the one where Cliff challenges his father in law to chess "You are buzzard meat."

As far as the poll goes, I cant disagree with any of them.

Petanque is the game that Cliff and his friend was playing outside in the cold right?

Yeah. That's was Petanque was, sorry for the three month late response. The best part about Play it Again Russell was Rudys joketelling. The first third of Hillman was Ok, but its where they got to that ceremony was when I was itching to switch to another episode on my DVD set.

Yeah, after rewatching the series, I've grown to like Cliffs 50th Birthday and Clair's Reunion. I just wish they had featured more of the Huxtable kids.

None of those four eps are boring to me and I loved them as a child. They were all entertaining.

There were some season three episodes that were boring to me though but the show was still number one in the ratings that season.

Nope. Not for me. I was tied into his bonding with the twins. It was Cosby and his natural humor. I thought it was brilliant.

I enjoyed the pregnant men. I never get tire of watching it. Seeing the women enjoying watching the men see how they had to go thru pregnancy is still funny.

I like both the episodes. I remember seeing the ep when Rudy wrote that story in first run back in 1988 on a Thursday night. I had taped it. I love the song that the bad team made up: "We-don't- like -day...we-can't-stand-the - night...we-only - like to play...we-only like to fight...and we'll do it...IN YOUR FACE!!!"

LOL.

I also like the male pregnancy episode. It was funny and in good humor. I remember the NBC announcer telling viewers to set their VCR's for "next week's episode"...then there was a shot of Cliff coming downstairs pregnant. LOL. Good Times.

I think the boring ones are:

The Price is Wrong (season 8)-Where Pam, Charmaine & Lance and a group of old people protest prices at the grocery store.

You Can't Stop the Music (season 8)-Where Cliff & Clair go to a radio station and sit in on a jazz session. (I THINK THIS IS THE MOST BORING EPISODE OF THE SERIES!)

I actually liked the ones in the poll.

I hate the pregnant men episode and the one with the strange Muppets. I remember really liking the silly fairytale story when I was a little kid. (I'm a year older than Keisha.)


We don't like the day
We can't stand the night
We really hate to play
We only want to fight
And we'll do it in your face! :p

Just never understood why they would create a episode aimed at a certain audience.


That's ok for the original run but not syndication
