Keck's Exclusives: "Guys With Kids" Stages "Cosby" Reunion
Jan 15, 2013
by William Keck

NBC is reviving their comedy bonanza of the '80s — sorta.

An upcoming episode of "Guys With Kids" will find the Marny character, played by former Huxtable kid Tempestt Bledsoe, reuniting with her sister Bridget.

And who has the show's shrewd casting director hired to play Bridget? Bledsoe's "Cosby Show" costar Keshia Knight Pulliam has won the role.

Pulliam, now 33, played youngest daughter Rudy on Bill Cosby's 1984-92 sitcom, while Bledsoe, who turns 40 this summer, played Vanessa.

Bridget is described as Marny's fun and irresponsible baby sister who comes to town for a few days on the heels of a bad break up.

The episode has yet to be scheduled.

Keck's Exclusives First Look: A "Cosby" Kids Reunion
Feb 6, 2013
by William Keck

"Guys With Kids" is reuniting Tempestt Bledsoe (Marny) with "Cosby Show" costar Keshia Knight Pulliam in the NBC comedy's season finale, set to air later this month.

The former Huxtable girls again play combative sisters, with Marny trying to land a job for Pulliam's spoiled Bridget. "Bridget just enjoys life and pursues whatever whim comes to mind. She even has a horse overseas," Pulliam says.

"But," says Bledsoe, "now it's time for Marny to tell her she's got to grow up."

Pulliam shot her scenes in between practice sessions for ABC's diving competition show, "Splash".

"I'm dispelling the myth that black girls can't swim and get their hair wet without freaking out," she jokes.

"Guys With Kids" is the first time the women have acted together since "The Cosby Show" ended in 1992.

"I grew up with Keshia. She's like my sister, so we immediately clicked again," says Bledsoe, 39. "When producers decided to cast the role they asked me how I'd feel about having Keshia and I said, 'Absolutely!' I think they're fantasizing about having all of The Cosby Show cast pop up."

Unlikely, as Lisa Bonet has declined all reunion invitations.

Plus, "Mr. Cosby was very clear about wanting to maintain the purity of the legacy," says Pulliam, 33, who now oversees a self-esteem camp for young girls in between acting gigs. "Sometimes you tarnish the memory when you beat a dead horse." Even an overseas horse.
