Was this true? Because if it is, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense?

That is GROSS!!! Thanks for the Image lol I think that That is so False! Although I head He slept with a lot of women's while working on The Cosby show while his wife stayed in MA. Then when he worked on Cosby(1996) His wife lived in their NY Town House... Hmm I wonder Why? But who knows. It really doesn't matter.

Anyway I have heard a couple times before that he give her the spin-off because he wasn't happy that she did that angel Heart Movie. But who know if that is true or not. It really hard to say when the Problems started, Some say it was season 3 others say it was later.

Cosby was very unhappy that Lisa Bonet did a nude scene in the movie "Angel Heart". He felt it didn't fit the Cosby Show image for one of the actors portraying one of the Huxtable children to appear nude in a movie. That's why he wanted her off the show and a spinoff was created for her.

Okay let see...

1. Nude Picture
2. Angel heart Movie
3. Married Lenny(Didn't go over well with Cosby)
4. Punched a photographer
5. Never showed up for Table reading a few times
6. Rumoured Drug Problem
7. Was very moody in her last Years on the show

She was hen written out of Different World after she got Pregnant.

You'd think she was working Roseanne with all the problems she caused. and apparently Tempestt was not a easy person to work with according Joseph.

Maybe we would have seen less of the grandparents if she never did anything to be forced off the show

If she had never gotten pregnant I'm pretty sure she would have never gone to Africa. I think when she ran off got married and then pregnant, that was the straw that broke the Camels back.

And then Cosby turned around and gave her another chance and her attitude still stunk LOL.

If she had stayed I don't think we would have seen the grandparents that much because the set is not but so big:lol:

People only get increased roles when other people leave

I don't think so because when she returned to Cosby the grandparents were still in a lot of episodes.

And the show became overcrowded which is why the ratings went down after she returned

That's not why the ratings went down. When Lisa returned part time in 1988 after ADW, the show was still number one. When she returned full time the following season, the show was still number one. When the next season started, the show tried to embrace the urban vibe (which was not needed IMO) coincidentally, the show fell to number five for the season. The overcrowded house was not a real reason. The Pam storylines weren't needed and a little bland. They took a chance but it just wasn't needed.

The Simpsons also contributed to fall of the ratings. Does anyone know why Lisa left Cosby for 2nd time?

Well, the show was still in fifth place overall but I see what you mean. "A Different World" ranked 4th place over Cosby. The Simpsons was on at the same time that TCS was so I can see what you're saying.

Regarding Lisa; I remember that there were reports saying that it was a mutual decision for her to move on. I remember on True Hollywood Story something about Lisa not showing up on time or just going back to being irresponsible when it came to work. I can't remember for sure so don't quote me on that yet. :confused:
