I didnt like the way they showed something in 1 episode, and never mentioned it again

Example
Theo's friend who had cancer.

Brian Damage · 07-15-2005, 11:11 PM

How Clair was so dang perfect.

Some of the clothes they wore in Cosby Show. They were just ugly. For instance, take a look at Pam in the Cosby Show, and then look at her in Living Single. They had all of them dressed down i thought.

There wasn't any serious episodes.

I didnt count that troubled father episode, because that didn't happen to the family.
And that MLK speech on TV episode was just a serious MOMENT.

This family just seemed a little bit too happy for me.It seems like everyone always have a smile or make a joke about something... even at a serious moment & I could never buy Cliff & Claire when they were mad at their children!For instance, the episode Vanessa got drunk... who would think, oh when Vanessa wakes up in the morning, we're going to trick her into drinking but it's actually tea inside. Then they all laugh & smile, & hug at the end like what Vanessa did was no big deal..

The male bashing that was done. They portrayed the men on the show as if they were idiots and/or chauvanstic.

Southern Hellraiser · 07-16-2005, 04:12 PM

Winnie and Nelson, I hated them!

I hated the way Vanessa always got in trouble when Rudy was younger and would start the fight with Vanessa and they never really told Rudy anything.

The way Clair was portrayed to be this perfect hard working lawyer, always in control of everything without making a mistake.

It really irked my nerves that they ruined a show with new characters and refrained from showing the original cast as much in order to make the new characters pivotal to the show.

I hated the way a lot of the male characters were sexist - Elvin, Kenny, we didnt see Kennys brother but he was talked about a lot, Denises boyfriend who wore 2 different colored socks etc...

I hated they didnt explain where cockroach went since he was Theos main friend for years

I hated that God Awful episode where they go to Hillman college and Clare sings at some ceremony - there nothing funny in that entire episode, just dull dull dull.

Yes! I didn't like the Hillman episodes, I think there was more than one!

#1 The Hillman ep....I didnt turn on the TV to see a 30 min infomercial for the Negro College fund ( No matter how noble a cause that may be )

#2 The reason i stopped watching Cos and never will again: When Cos strongarmed NBC into shoving Family Ties into the "Suicide time-slot" on Sunday nights so he could give the time-slot to his precious TV daughter Lisa Bonet for her mediocre college show ...ohhh what was it called???? ( It blew, but after she was fired from the show it did pretty well...Who knows why )

Southern Hellraiser · 07-24-2005, 02:09 PM

I also didnt like it that Cliff and Clair were so stingy.

moeee · 07-24-2005, 10:37 PM

Cliff was cheap,Clair was a snob

Southern Hellraiser · 07-24-2005, 11:15 PM

Bill Cosby expected every child on the show to be perfect. That's what you're supposed to do, but he just went overboard.
