Which do you think is the best opening sequence?

5th season (Pastels, Orchestral music) for me!!!

The one with all of them dancing, and it has denise with long hair. I think it was season 6.

In season seven at the end of the opening dont they show Cliff holding up a portrait of Denise? It only shows up for like less than a second though. :(

That's season 4 with Bobby McFeron singing/huming the theme song. Can you believe all those instruments are actually HIS voice. He's very talented.

I found out the one I'm talking about is them dancing at the Apollo theater...

I Think dancing at the apollo theatre is the best one, it has the shiny black floor, it was the coolest, I Wish I Can remodel my room after I Win the lottery.

That's right! Bingo! That's season 4. I voted for it. The Bobby McFerrin one did the theme song before he recorded the song "Don't Worry, Be Happy" the following year.

I voted for Seasons 6 and 7 at the Apollo, I LOVE that one. I always like the one from Season 4 with the Top Hats. I hate the African dance type thing in Season 5 though.

i like season 2

I voted for....

1985-86(Dancing against a blue background-Pop/Jazz/R&B music)

1987-88(Formal black tie attire-1940s Jazz music)

1988-89(Tropical dance, Orhcestral music)

1989-91(Dancing at the Apollo Theatre, music by Junior Walker)


But I like them all besides the last season,
and not just because its my least favorite season either.

I'm shocked the 86-87 one is so unpopular. It's not a fave but considering it was probably their biggest season, I figured more people would like it

I chose the 1988-1989 Tropical Dance one. I read somewhere that song sequence is called "Kiss Me" for this season. Interesting! ;)

I played a TV Themes CD at work recently, and it was this version, and I had my co-workers guess which TV show this belonged. They thought it was The Simpsons!! :lol: Now, when I hear this from now on, it does seem to sound very Simpsons-ish. :D

Same as that along with the seasons 6 & 7 opening that has a quote at the end of the theme in which Cliff would say "This is the best elevator music I ever heard." I saw that opening on Nick at Nite in the American version. The Italian version of the seasons 6 & 7 opening from the Italian "Cosby Show" site replaces Cliff's quote at the end with an Italian dubbed quote done by the late, Ferrucino Amendola, the Italian voice of Bill Cosby.

I love the tropical dance opening because you get to see Theo's muscles!

My favorite one is the 1986 one. I don't know why...but I just think it's really cool, and I like the song that plays with it. :)

The first one is my favorite, mainly due to the music.

The 1987-88 Bobby McFerrin one is my favorite.

Season 6

Season 6/7 and Season 5 with the Tropical dance is my favorite. Does anyone have a good quality wav or mp3 of the tropical dance theme? The one available on Sitcoms Online is slowed down and so the pitch is brought down a little lower. :(

Well, I liked the second season the best, I think it fit the whole Cosby Show series the best and it was the most traditional.

But, I have to say the 1988-1989 theme was very different compared to all the other theme's and openings Cosby Show had used. I remember even my grandmother stopped watching it because she hated that theme, but I have to say it added something that season and I loved the music, even though most think it was the worst theme. But the final season with the hip-hop and Pam and all her friends was definately the worst.

my three favorite themes are the one in 1985-86, the one in 1987-88 and 1989-1991. they have very catchy tunes :)

Mine would be
1985-86
1987-88-Use to hate this one
1989-91
1991-92
But I like the saxophone so it'll be 1989-91

The tropical dance one!!!!

Ain't it great how the openings change with the seasons? I could always tell which season was which because of these. I liked the 1985-1986 one, the tropical one from 1988-1989 (that opening always intriqued me), the 1989-1991 season theme and I was a sucker for the 1991-1992 theme as well. In fact, I never really knew that the final theme was supposed to be the one used for the 1990-1991 season. Interesting.

but anyway, if I had to go with an all-time favorite, it would have to be the 1988-1989 season.

1985-86 version

84-85
89-91

I liked how in the last ep, they showed all of the openings. It amazes me how much Rudy grew up on that show!
