Another reason why the Grandfather annoyed the hell out of me - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I was watching a episode of TCS today and it was the one when the Grandfather was pressuring Denise to Go to Hillman instead of letting her choose where she wanted to go. DamM he was a weirdo. I would have went where I wanted to go. Wonder Why they never pressured Sondra to go to Hillman-lol

He did get on my nerves in that episode. No wonder Denise turned out the way she did.

I never thought of that, maybe we can blame the grandfather. Maybe Denise really didn't like Hillman and wished she had went to another college-lol

Sondra was already in college when the show began, she never lived at home untill after she was married.

I know that, I was saying she should have been Hillman since it was the Family Tradition.

Watching the anniversary episode made me wonder: did they ever feature Clair's parents on the show, or was it always just Cliff's parents? I don't watch it often enough to remember.

I remember seeing her mother, but I can't get a image in my head of her father

Mr. Television · 06-27-2005, 11:34 PM

Claire's father appeared in one or two episodes.

Yup - they were in a few for sure. As were Alvin's parents a couple of times.

I really didn't mind the grandparents. I'm sure many families have pressure because of "tradition" - not just in choices of schools but other things.

Grandpa Huxtable was annoying as heck. He told some of the most long, boring, fake, stories everytime he showed up.

I remember an episode where he answered the phone for cliff. It was one of Cliff's patients, and Grandpa asked her: How far apart are they? Since when did he become a doctor also?

Grandpa Huxtable even guest starred on A Different World to visit Denise.

The only Cosby Regular I enjoyed on ADW was when Dwayne visited Denise after she had left the cast because it sort of brought closure to her character on the show.
