I think that Bill played Hilton Lucas better, but who do you think he played better?

I think he played both characters well...I can't choose between the two. I probably liked "The Cosby Show" from the 1980's better, though.

Maybe it's because I was a teenager in the 80's and NEVER missed the Cosby Show, but I think it's Cliff Huxtable, hands down.

I watched this show for one reason: Madeline Kahn R.I.P.

I couldn't stand Hilton Lucas, he seemed like a rip-off of Archie Bunker. But, I really like Bill and I really dislike Hilton so I guess I'd say Bill played Hilton Lucas better because he convinced me he was a grouch.

Did Cosby play both Mr Huxtable and Mr. Lucas? If he did, how did he do so?

Um....The Cosby Show ran from 1984-1992. Cosby ran from 1995-1998 [I think those were the dates].

Cosby ran from 1996-2000 on CBS.

Hilton Lucas, hands down. It was a pleasure to see him in the role as the retiree on Cosby.

I think it was a mistake to do the 2nd "Cosby" Huxtible was so much better, and it was hard not to assosiate Cosby with Cliff.

mister bluster · 12-26-2002, 02:21 AM

He played both parts equally well. (I've never seen Cosby play any part less than perfect.) I liked both characters too, but the show with Hilton was funnier; the scripts were funnier, and the supporting characters were funnier, so consequently, Hilton was funnier.

i like when bill played cliff huxitable better!!

Dr. Huxtable, hands down! The Huxtable family has such an awesome chemistry; you just don't see that on COSBY. The only good people on that show are Bill Cosby, Doug E Doug and the wife (I forget her name). The daughter is okay, too, I guess; but the red-haired lady that lives with them (I forget her name) is just downright annoying & un-funny. She ruins the entire show for me.

Dr. Huxtable....... definitely!!!! He did an awesome job with that show!!!!!
