I've seen the commercial for the COSBY reunion, and notice 'Tempest' says nearly the same thing SUSAN says in their E! True Holloywood Story. Tempest says in the commercial, "There are only FIVE COSBY kids in the world." or something like that. ANYway, I immediately thought she swiped that from SUSAN Olsen's statement. Anyway, all these reunions are great, I just wish there will be an original BRADY REUNION. :)!! :p :crazy: :confused: :happyface :( :rolleyes:

I prefer the Brady Kids and "The Brady Bunch". "The Cosby Show" was basically a black version and a rip-off of "The Brady Bunch". Anyways, I don't find any of the Cosby kids attractive nor good looking. On the other hand, The Brady kids were attractive such as the sexy fox Marcia, the cute little Cindy, ect. Just my thoughts.

Okay, the Cosby kids are NOT a rip off of the Brady Bunch kids! The Cosby Show is alot more realistic of kids than the Brady Bunch in my opinion...and how can u say none of the people are attractive!? Have u SEEN them?...have u seen Raven Simone or Keisha Knight lately...theyre pretty now, and they were cute back then.

What? The Cosby Show was a not a rip off of the Brady Bunch. The Cosby show was funny unlike the Brady Bunch and the Cosby Show was more realistic. Plus The Cosby Show holds the record for being number one. They were the number one show five straight seasons in a row. The Brady Bunch couldn't even make the top ten. And the Cosby show is the most watched show in television history(it holds the record for that) And the Cosby kids are very beautiful, look at Lisa Bonet for instance.

Lisa Bonet is nothing more than a ripoff of Maureen McCormack :).

:lol: Really? Lol, I don't think she's that pretty anymore, if you've seen her lately...I think Keisha Knight has become very pretty though. :D

If you compare the looks of the Cosby kids to the Brady kids. The Cosby kids are much better looking. All the Brady kids have gotten really ugly espeically the guys. And look at the lady who played Cindy she has gotten so ugly and heavier. Yuck my stomach gets ill when I look at her.

After viewing the COSBY reunion, I will say that I enjoyed MALCOM's appearance the most. I enjoyed him telling about special scenes between he and Bill, as well as the bloopers. I wasn't a regular viewer of the COSBY'S, and we all have our own opinions. The Cosbys was one of the last family shows on the air. I grew up with the BRADYS, so I guess I'm bias!! It's fun to see all the opinions on here. I still however, am an admirer of Chris Knight's, and NO ONE can argue THAT!! And now I remember what started this whole string! I saw TEMPESTT Say, "There are only four other COSBY KIDS in the WORLD!!" Which is nearly the same thing SUSAN OLSEN said on E! "There are only FIVE OTHER BRADY KIDS in the WORLD!" Anyway, I enjoyed seeing the bloopers and the COSBY stars now., and there's always one bad apple who won't join the reunions. We know who that is, I always thought she was stuck up anyway. Let's Hope for a BRADY REUNION!! :rolleyes: :happyface :crazy: ;) :D :cool: :wave: :happyface

As far as whether the Brady or Cosby kids are better looking today, the Brady kids are a lot older...I mean, even Cindy was born in 1961 (and Barry Williams was born in 1954!), while K.N. Pulliam and Raven-Simone are only in their early 20s (or late teens). Anyway, taking the Cosby Girls one by one, Sondra was pretty, but where the hell did she COME FROM? In the pilot episode, Claire and Cliff both acknowledge that they only have four kids, and then bang! Along comes Sondra (who I thought was annoying as an actress). So much for realism.

Lisa Bonet was very pretty during the early years of the show, till she left and came back with that ridiculously long hair do. I don't even wanna KNOW what she looks like now.

Vanessa had her periods of being cute and pretty during the show's run, until she (or someone) decided to shove that ridiculous afro down our throats. She's calmed down a bit, and is still cute today, I think.

Rudy is very pretty today. But she got rather ugly during the last few years of the series run. In fact, I don't think she was ever "pretty" during the show's run, just cute early-on.

Raven-Simone (who I didn't like when the show was on - see the "Jump the Shark" web site, which says it all) was cute when she started out. But by then I'd stopped watching it. She is very pretty today.

Again, though, the Cosby kids are much younger, in real life, than the Brady Bunch kids. Marcia and Jan (especially Jan in season 5 of the Brady Bunch) were prettier than any of the Cosby girls while the B Bunch was on.

(NOTE: The Opinions expressed on this post do not necessarily reflect reality. They are just one guy's opinion, which is just as right - or wrong - as anyone else's opinion).


One thing that seems to be true of the kids from both shows...they seem to be pretty well-adjusted as adults... no Different Strokes syndrome with any of them (well, Lisa Bonet is probably the closest any of these kids come to that).

Let's do a Brady Grid Study Cosby Style:

The ? is: Does The Cosby Show compare favorably to The Brady Bunch.

Let's Do Spectrum Analysis.

Cosby Grid:


------Denise-----Cliff-----Theo----

------Vanessa-----:D--------:D-----

-------Rudy------Claire-----:D-----

Cosby at 2/3 of the Brady Grid can indeed be Mathematically classified as a Brady Bunch Distant Cousin w/a Ripoff Type Structuring to it. Details, Details, Details (as Beebe Galinni would say):

Notice that Sondra is not included. This is because A MAJOR CONTINUITY error is made when they added her; as a poster put it "Where did she come from?' Probably from the same place Chuck Cunningham did. Amen. Cliff and Claire wanted only 4 Kids; along came a 5th!

Notice that no Raven Sy'Mone is included. She's the equivalent of Cousin Oliver and a classic "Shark Jump". Whereas Oliver, however, was entertaining during the Pie Throw, Raven was Annoying all throughout the show. Why? She was told by Director to 'act cuter, make that pout bigger' and was prone to say stupid lines that a REAL CHILD wouldn't say (grown up stuff). Also her dancing was PEE-YEEW! See www.jumptheshark.com for more details, detais, details! Amen.

Notice that there's No Maid!!! This is obviously fake as the Cosby Show House was Richer than the Brady house (Cliff=doctor and Claire=lawyer > Mike=architect and Carol=what DID she do all day)and therefore the LACK of a Maid Jumps the Shark and is very "UnBrady".

And finally notice that there's only 1 Boy in the family (Theo) that's often made the Butt of Cosby Jokes (not to mention Cockroach). Despite this, to me, he was Definitively Brady as he was levelheaded (Jamming on the One amongst his Classics, similar to Greg's "Till I Met You"/Brady Kids/Johnny Bravo singing career) and made for good public service (His Dyslexia to Greg's Smoking). Theo would have made a decent Greg, w/coolness being a requisite for Brady Grid living.

Now This show can indeed be classified a Brady Bunch ripoff for several reasons:

A: Mathematics (2/3 of Brady Grid is a Quoroum of Majority of "The True Grid Of 9" and by Brady Law, Cosby Show can be said to be a "Grid" of 6. BTW you only need 3 to make a "Grid)

B: Brady Plots in Cosby Show: Let's list a few:

Singing (Candy, Stevie Wonder, etc) vs (Sunshine Day and Johnny Bravo, etc). The Prize goes to Brady Grid Here.

A Heavy Handed Speech about Historical Issues <in Cosby's case>. Witness the Cosby's gawking at the Martin Luther King "I have a dream" speech AS WELL AS the reflective speech Mike makes at the Pearl Harbor in Hawaii where he reads the plaque. Cosby tried to upstage MLK w/no footage of MLK's speech seen on TV; just gawking Huxtables, whereas Mike's was reflective and respectful w/All The Grid Present. This Prize goes to the Brady's in Any Event.

C: Brady Lectures: :DRighteous:D vs Cosby Lectures: I Brought You In This World, And I'll Take You Out. (having seen the classic Incredible Hulk ep where David Banner tries to help a child abuse victim makes this Cosby Lecture Very ASININE. Tsk Tsk for Cosby was Threatening Theo here. And I don't care if Cliff was joking; as Carol would say "It wasn't funny".). Definite Brady Copying in lecture but alas it loses something in the style compared to:

Brady Grid.

Amen.

But OTOH Cosby is Very UNBRADY LIKE in several factors:

1: Rudy. Her constant "Buds' get on my nerves and made her sound CheeseWiz whereas Cindy's portrayal was more realistic (forgiving the Brady Bunch movies which were parodies). She was OK, but Cindy? Righteous.

2: Denise (the opposite of Marcia) was out of character, one minute favoring Marcia in the 1st seasons, and the next minute hanging w/a Divorced Navy Man and:

3: Glory Be The Funk's On Me! A Funky Haircut (jerricurl?). Vanessa of course got an Afro, and the show became a stereotype throughout the later years (naming your kids Winnie and Mandela? SHARK JUMP!) of Black African Living. Early on Cosby Living was more WhiteBread and quasi Brady but alas All Was CheeseWiz to the Marrow That Is Bones.

To me, Good Times (ghetto living based on Cabrini Green in Chicago) and Jeffersons (moving on up) and All In the Family (working class) and Brady Bunch (safe suburban family of the 60s and 70s) are more realistic portrayals of TV Families.
IN Brady Land, there was no stereotyping that could be considered CheeseWiz (Marcia the popular one; Jan the left out middle sister, Cindy the cutie pie) just corny. Corny enough to have become a fabric of culture. Whereas Cosby Living was 'out there' if you know what I mean.

4: Claire. Pretty Un Carol like, sort of like that mother on 7TH Heaven (another Brady Bunch Contender). Witness her "having an attitude" w/the kids and Cliff. She be tripping. Whereas Carol's Attitude was a Positive in Brady Living and All Nations, Tongues, and Kindreds yea yea yea!

5: the way the Maintenance Man (Vanessa's Boyfriend in later seasons) was treated at the Huxtable's House was VERY UN Brady Like. No Blessing was said at the dinner table 1st of all (Thy Bountiful Blessings or such). 2nd Cliff and Claire were snotty and Elitist, thinking that the Prominent Huxtable Vanessa was too good for a Janitor. Yea but Nay! This is NOT Brady Living. In Brady Land, Hospitality is to be shown at ALL TIMES to the rich and poor; to the East and to the Vest!

(and even to criminals like Mike Millard, who tried to take Alice's savings.)

And the People said:

Amen.

Amen.

In conclusion, Cosby Show does have some resemblance to Brady Grid Living, but alas it is but a distant cousin to Brady Grid. Cosby stands on its own merits as a #1 Show because of:

Cosby.

And this concludes Analysis Spectrum.

First of all, it was not a rip-off. OPr you can say that The Lucy Show was a rip-off of The Odd Couple. And I think you really are prejudice and need a lesson or two. You said none of them are attractive. You're either saying that because you must be blind or are prejudice agains black people. Ever see Keesha or Ravene these days? Compared to Susan Olsen or Maureen McKromick in ther 20's, Keesha and Ravene are much prettier.

I agree with you! I think he's just prejudice too, and I'll just say, it's for more reasons than this one. Do you also think that Halle Berry or Janet Jackson or Jennifer Lopez is less attractive than the Brady kids? :lol:

That's very prejudiced. I'm guessing My Brother and Me was basically a black version and a rip-off of Leave it to Beaver? To begin with: The Huxtables had 5 kids not 6. The Huxtables had one son and four daughters not three/three. The Huxtables didn't have a maid. But of course, the Bradys are too lazy to pick up after themselves. (Carol is to lazy to get in the kitchen!). The Huxtables danced to their theme songs. The Bradys just sat there and looked at each other like they had no clue what-so-ever. If you ask me, the Bradys tried to copy off of the Partridges when it comes down to this. The Partridge Family premeired in 1970. They sung their theme song. The Bradys sung their theme song starting in 1970. If you ask me, The Peppermint Trolley whatever was better sounding than the Brady Kids (I guess they smelt like goats). Now I'm starting to compare the Partridge Family with the Brady Bunch since LucyFan is obviously prejudice.

1)Older Girls: Maureen "Marcia" McKormick VS. Susan "Laurie" Dey
It's definatly Laurie Partridge! I mean who didn't love her lips? I love her lips! She's just way prettier than Marcia will ever be. Marcia had those huge eyes. And it's a shame since when Bradys started she was still a kid. She was like 11 years old. So we saw her whining a lot. But Laurie was matured and was always quick to compete with her bigger bro Keith. So we have Dey who is always found in yur calendar, and we have McKormick who is always found on the spice rack at your local grocery store (like Federated and Safeway:)).

2)Mothers: Florence "Carol" Brady VS. Shirley "Shirley" Jones
Shirl Jones and Flo Henderson were both born in 1934. So they were both 40 when their shows got cancelled (just spreading some info). We have Shirley P. who cooks for herself, cleans for herself, and sings for herself. And we have Carol B. who watches Alice cook, wathes Alice clean, and she never lifts a finger to help her kids sing. Carol is always reading a book, while Shirley is always reading music. I think reading the lyrics to "I Woke Up in Love This Morning" is way more interesting than Jonathon Livingston Seagull (which is about a seagull who is need of therapy).

3)Fathers: Robert "Mike" Reed VS. Dave "Reuben" Madden
OK you have to admit, Shirley and Rueben were meant for each other. They seriously shoulda dated, and that's why I consider Rueben a surrogate father for the Partridge kids. We have Mike who would kill his kids if they went into his den and took a marker and started coloring in a coloring book. We have Reuben who helps the kids out with school work. We have Mike who gets a new perm every week. We have Reuben who gets a new suit every week. We have Mike who is always making sweet love to Carol. We have Reuben who is always making sweet eyes at Shirley. So we have a kid-killing, perm-sporting, love-making machine and a tutoring, suit-wearing, sweet eye making machine. I prefer Reuben because I had to type in more wrods for Mike.

4)Older Sons: Barry "Greg" Williams VS. David "Keith" Cassidy
So we have Barry Williams and David Cassidy. What kind of teen hearthrob is named Barry? "Ooooh Gregory is so hot!" yells one of the girls. "Oooooh Keith is mine!" yells another. But when they start singing, The Partridge Family supreme gets way more sells than the Bradys do. I mean it's the 70s! Nobody wants songs about sunshiney days. They want to hear love songs. I think that sunshiney days aren't what teenage girls want to hear. Do they have posters of a boy with flowers around him? Or do they prefer a poster of a boy with birds around him? Well David Cassidy (in my little opinion) is far more handsomer and more attractive (I'm not attracted to him) than Barry Williams. Barry copies Mike's jerry-curl so that's a big low. If Cassidy wasn't such a "hunk" why did a girl in my class write "I Love David Cassidy" in her folder? It was around the time The Partridges were on FoxFamily so she musta been watching the reruns. The Bradys have been on for forever and I've never seen "I Love Barry Williams" anywhere! So because of his singing and his hair (his hair is waaaaaaay much cooler than a dried out jerry-curl) I think David Cassidy "Keith" is better than Barry.

5)Middle Daughters: Eve "Jan" Plumb......vs............
Well Jan wins by default here. She has no competition because nobody wants to be Jan Brady. She's a geek!!!! She's a four-eyed geek! Nobody wants to be Jan Brady nobody wants to be Jan Brady nobody wants to be Jan Brady!....sorry had a bully moment

6)Middle Sons: Chris "Peter" Knight VS. Danny "Danny" Bonaduce
Danny all the way. Peter's hair during the mid-early-70s years (1971-73) just scared the bageezes out of me. He looked like Joanie Cunningham when she got that frizzy black hair. He just scares me till it ain't even funny. He had that proper cut in the 69-70 season and that scared me too.......

7)Little Daughters: Susan "Cindy" Olson VS. Suzanne "Tracy" Crough
Cindy was such a brat! I actually hate her. Nothings against Susan but I absolutely hate Cindy! She gets on my nerves with all that irratating lisping! But we have Tracy (who has better sounding name) who is the tamborine pounding girl from the Partridge Posse. Her and her almost silent brother never really got into fights. But that Cindy is always ready to bop someone. Some times I just wanna bop her accross her face because she's so spoiled. I mean the girl is ugly!

8)Little Sons: Mike "Bobby" Lookinland VS. Jeremy/Brian "Chris" Gelbwaks/Forster
No comment at all.

9)Vehicles: Brady Station Wagon VS. Partridge Family Bus
"CAUTION! Nervous Mother Driving." is the best TV sign so the bus is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than the Brady wagon.

So there ya go. The Partridges are better than the Bradys!

Can you say bigot? That a boy.

sad person, that lucyfan....

First of all, I am not a racist or homophobic. I just don't find black people attractive. Have a problem with that? I hope not. Second of all, It doesn't say anywhere in the Bible that I should find black people attractive. I'm sorry, but I just don't. I don't have to . . . it's a free country. Third of all, I have nothing against black people at all. I think they are nice, funny, and friendly but I just don't find them that attractive that's all. That doesn't make me a bad person nor a racist. I'm mean would you rather me tell a lie than the truth? I don't think so. But I do have some black friends who think whites are not attractive in which I don't have a problem with that because it is the way they feel inside and isn't their fault. I don't bash them over it because it is only their opinion and they have a right to their opinion. I have a right to my opinion too. But why must you guys bash me over how I feel? Why can't you accept me for who I am rather than hate me over my opinions? It doesn't make sense. I don't have a problem with the way I feel but you guys do. You guys want me to find black people attractive and say how pretty they are . . . I'm sorry but I can't do that because it totally contradicts the way I truly feel inside. Obviously it seems you guys just want the outside and not the inside. I don't have a problem with that but I wouldn't recommend it for getting to know people. Bye.

You guys want me to find black people attractive and say how pretty they are . . . I'm sorry but I can't do that because it totally contradicts the way I truly feel inside. Obviously it seems you guys just want the outside and not the inside. I don't have a problem with that but I wouldn't recommend it for getting to know people. Bye.
It's official.......You've got issues.... that's all I think I'll say about that........I dont know many guys who dont find a girl like Beyonce Knowles attractive........just because their skin is a little darker than yours dont mean nothing, you moron....if you think they're unattractive just cuz of skin color...because of THAT, that makes you racist, Im sorry but you ARE a racist.

GET ME THAT DAMN PITCHFORK! NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LucyFan you are officially evil. I have no care for you. You are very racist if you don't find someone attractive because their skin is just a couple of shades light than yours. What is Maureen McKormack got dipped in chocolate? You'd call her ugly just because her face is dark? LucyFan you have some serious issues. You need to have that flaming pitchfork stuck up your behind. Ha! I bet it's so tight you can get the damn pitchfork in there!

You probably dont like them because you're ugly as s__t and no black person would eva like you, so you're mad! You better pray no black person eva reads this, and if they do, I hope they find your address and come over your house and knock some sence into your closed minded head!!! Or I'll do it!!!:mad:

There is nothing wrong with finding a race not attractive. It doesn't say anywhere that all races should find each other attractive but it does say to treat all races equally. Just because you find blacks attactive, doesn't mean I have to. Furthermore, I'm not a racist and was never one.

Excuse me LucyFan........you say you're not a bigot. If that is so, then how the hell do you justify asking everyone what their "race" is over at the chit-chat board a few months ago?

If anyone here wants to know what I'm talking about, just go to the chit-chat board and do a search on a thread titled "What is your race?" You will note that LucyFan is the person who posted the question. It always puzzled me why hardly any non-whites chose to answer the question.

I feel sorry for people like you LucyFan. You say you're not a bigot, but think again: Who the hell are you kidding? Do you think that people are blind and can't see through you?

You are not obligated to think that black people are attractive, and no one is saying that you are. But it is obvious to me that you asked everyone what their "race" is because you tend to favor white people more than black people, simply because you think they're more "attractive." Maybe you belong on some planet where all the people have blonde hair and blue eyes. You are one sad cookie.

Second of all, It doesn't say anywhere in the Bible that I should find black people attractive. I'm sorry, but I just don't. I don't have to . . . it's a free country. Third of all, I have nothing against black people at all. I think they are nice, funny, and friendly but I just don't find them that attractive that's all. That doesn't make me a bad person nor a racist. I'm mean would you rather me tell a lie than the truth? I don't think so. But I do have some black friends who think whites are not attractive in which I don't have a problem with that because it is the way they feel inside and isn't their fault. I don't bash them over it because it is only their opinion and they have a right to their opinion. I have a right to my opinion too. But why must you guys bash me over how I feel?

Bye. wow, you're head must be so far up your ass, you cant think right! You dont find Tyra Banks attractive at all????? wow....sad. I happen to be the "blonde haired, blue eyed" girl....and guess what LucyFan! I'd never go with you! I'll rather go with someone that looks closer to P. Diddy or Craig David or Will Smith than David Arquette or Brad Pitt ! And if you have a problem with it, they can burn in hell! Me, JT, and Blonde Hoochie Mama are gonna chase your ass down for this one!!! And Blonde Hoochie Mama was right when she said that the reason you dont like black women, is becuz you prolly couldn't satisfy one, and now you're fooling yourself into thinking their unattractive! AND you're probably really ugly! Most RACISTS are!

Haha very funny. NOT! Hun, you are totally blind! You can't see things straight at all. You only look at things the way you want them to. You don't see the whole picture. DOY


I happen to be the "blonde haired, blue eyed" girl....and guess what LucyFan! I'd never go with you!
Does it look that I really care? Well . . . I don't care because I can go with anyone of my choice and you weren't a choice to begin with and will never be.


I'll rather go with someone that looks closer to P. Diddy or Craig David or Will Smith than David Arquette or Brad Pitt !
One of my favorite singers is Craig David! I absolutely love his three songs: "7 Days", "Walking Away", and "Fill Me In". I even have a Craig David CD. He's a great singer!


Me, JT, and Blonde Hoochie Mama are gonna chase your ass down for this one!!!
In your dreams. I'm sorry but I do have a right to my opinion and you three obviously don't like my opinion. You three have a problem I don't.


And Blonde Hoochie Mama was right when she said that the reason you dont like black women,
You guys sure like to twist words around, don't you? I NEVER said such a thing. You guys obviously can't read straight! :rolleyes:



Now you're fooling yourself into thinking their unattractive!
OK, whatever. I don't know about you but there is nothing wrong with finding some one not attractive (even if it's your own race). There isn't law or a rule that says a person should find ALL human beings attractive. I don't understand why you guys are making a big fuss over what people I find attractive. Honestly, IT IS MY LIFE NOT YOURS! I'm not surprised either because you guys don't even hear me out at all or least try to understand where I am coming from. Instead, you three like to "jump on the bagwagon" and team up. I never knew people who can be this way until now. . . but I know now.


AND you're probably really ugly! Most RACISTS are! [/COLOR] [/COLOR=royalblue]
Think what you want but I really don't care how you label me or what not. You're just a close-minded person that I don't need in my life.

Where were you when I asked that question? FYI, it was asked in November BEFORE this thread even started. It is now July and it hasn't been "a couple of months" since I asked that particular question. Before you start assuming, I suggest you get your facts straight. And this comment on the "What is the Race?" thread should answer you question (if not, I will go deeper): "Lucy fan asked a question out of curiosity. I doubt any disrespect was intended. Still, I like when we have an opportunity to learn something on the board".



It always puzzled me why hardly any non-whites chose to answer the question.
That is an assumption and not true fact. From what I read in the thread, some non-whites DID answer the question.



You are not obligated to think that black people are attractive, and no one is saying that you are.
Then tell me, why are the posters on this thread making a big fuss over it? [/QUOTE][/B]



But it is obvious to me that you asked everyone what their "race" is because
I was curious and wanted to learn about the environment that I was in as well as my fellow posters.



you tend to favor white people more than black people,
That is not true. How can you say that? You don't even know me and you don't know what I have been through with people of all races.

You dont find Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce Knowles, Tyra Banks, Halle Berry attractive at all....cuz they're not white? Just WHAT makes people non-white women (or men)unattractive is what I want to know!

LucyFan not liking somebody just because of their race is being a racist. That thing about saying that most white men don't find black women attractive is just stupid and that is racist even if you don't want to believe it. People like you make me sick...

I actually WOULD take Roseanne.........to Weight Watchers or something...........LOL

LucyFan, you and your 'friends' (I doubt that they actually like you) are jerks. I mean....The Andrews Sisters or Destiny's Child? I wish you would marry a 101 year old woman like Hazel Seabury or somebody. Then you'll long for the gals like Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce Knowles, Tyra Banks, Halle Berry.............I bet you prefer white meat chicken over dark meat (well....I prefer the white meat too, but I love chicken!).
I mean even Diahann Carroll slapped Joan Collins a couple of times on Dynasty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think interracial marriage or dating is great. I mean, I love Susan Lucci!!!!! Erica Kane rox! So does Joan Van Ark and Joyce DeWitt and Marlo Thomas and Penny Marshall and COUNTLESS others!

Ok now your sounding like Lucyfan. Saying stuff about overweight people. That's just has biggoted.

And by the way Roseanne has lost a lot of weight since her sitcom ended.

Look guys (the team of six: JT, Paula, Will and Grace Fanatic, BubbleLuvGrl026, Demi Lynn Winters, Ricky Ricardo) the bottomline is that everyone has their opinions and opinions can be just like @$$holes. Everyone has one.

In this particular topic, my opinion had to be the @$$hole but oh well. Life goes on. But I must say that I am threw with arguing with all of you guys it is like talking to a damn brick wall (on this topic). Besides, It is not going anywhere positive at all. And by now, most of you already have assumed way too much as well as accused. Then some of you had the nerve to bash as well as call unnecessary names. I'm quite sick of it. I don't deserve this nonesense at all. And if you don't like me because of this argument (and/or opinion) than that's your problem NOT mine.

I never intended this to happen. But I guess it went to worse and here we are now.

But before I go, just do this one thing:

READ THIS STATEMENT OUT LOUD TO YOURSELF AND COMPREHEND IT AS BEST AS YOU CAN:

In the words of Tweety (a fellow member of Sitcoms Online and poster on this board): The Opinions expressed on this post do not necessarily reflect reality. They are just one guy's opinion, which is just as right - or wrong - as anyone else's opinion

Thank You Tweety! :)

I know for a fact that TJ would want the argument to stop so . . .

Before the argument gets any further than it already has, let's get back on the original topic of this thread (the topic starter):

Anyway, all these reunions are great, I just wish there will be an original BRADY REUNION. :)!! :p :crazy: :confused: :happyface :( :rolleyes:

I also would take Roseanne to Weight Watchers.... and hopefully leave her there forever!! She's awful!

How am I part of the team? LOL I just replied once, and that was a loooong time ago. Just pointing it out.

Let me ask a question. What if you started talking to somebody online? You really started to get deep because you are the same age and you both love the same things and interests. You've been talking for months and feel like you should met because you belong together as a couple. You feel like you can spend the reast of your life with this person. Well you both set up a date to go out and decide to meet at a bar. When you walk into the bar, you see someone waving towards you and calling by your name. Well she says it's her from the conversations and you see that shes a 19 year old black woman. What do you say to her? Would you dump her because her skin isn't light enough? I'm very curious to get your response on this. It's not the start of a fight. Just an honest question.

It doesn't matter what someone looks like on the outside. All that matters is what they look like on the inside.

Ricky, that's what I was referring to - how awful she is on the inside and is so MEAN to everyone and uses such bad language!!!! I wasn't talking about her looking awful. She would STILL be awful if she looked like Gwyneth Paltrow, Halle Berry, or any supermodel!

Great Question! :happyface:

To be honest, I really don't know :confused: and I do not wish to go any further than this because I don't want another argument :( to happen. If you aren't satisfied with this answer feel free to IM or e-mail at my sitcoms onlines mailbox.

Here's another question then....would you take Roseanne over Tyra Banks or Beyonce Knowles if you were forced and had to choose between the three????? Can you possibly answer? thank u

P.S. does the statement: I like black people, but I dont like their skin color, make any sence....?? I think not...

I think Roseanne rox. I wasn't trying to tease her. I was just saying, I mean I'd take her to weight watchers.........to encourage the other people that are there......you know......lol

I prefer the Brady Kids and "The Brady Bunch". "The Cosby Show" was basically a black version and a rip-off of "The Brady Bunch". Anyways, I don't find any of the Cosby kids attractive nor good looking. On the other hand, The Brady kids were attractive such as the sexy fox Marcia, the cute little Cindy, ect. Just my thoughts.

You asked me where I was when you posted the "race" question back in November. Well, I was lurking in to your thread, feeling surprised that you had posted the question. You see, in some cases there's nothing wrong with asking a question like that. There are people out there who ask such questions like that because they genuinely see the beauty of all races of people. You are not one of those people, LucyFan.

Take another look at your quote above. If you genuinely liked black people and recognized their inner beauty, you wouldn't have made such a nasty remark about their outer appearance. In comparing the Brady Bunch kids vs. the Cosby kids, the first thing that you mentioned is the differences between their outward appearance. What was the point of that? That was so distasteful of you to judge people based on their looks, and thus choose one sitcom over the other. (And before you say that you did not judge them, give me a break: you have plainly stated the very reason why you prefer the Brady Bunch).

One thing BubbleLuvGrl has pointed out to us is that it probably wouldn't do you any good to go to some planet where all the people are "blonde-haired and blue-eyed." They too will probably agree with her that you ARE racist.

If you don't think blacks are attractive on the outside, then why did you have to fu@k up this thread by even mentioning that? What does it matter what people look like on the outside, and how does that make a TV sitcom any better? It is absurd to say that the Cosby show is a rip-off of the Brady Bunch, when the only thing these 2 shows have in common is that their style of humor is a bit corny (which means good, clean fun). If you really find that black people are funny and nice on the inside, you could have focused on that instead. At this point, I don't think there's anything you can do to convince me or many other people who have participated in this thread that you are not a racist.

LucyFan, can't answer the question, but I think I know what he'd say about Ricky Ricardo's question...he'd dump her! And Paula, you said everything else I wanted to say, until I think of something else.... :D
