Usually I avoid this one, but for the heck of it I watched it tonight...and yeah..it's still boring! I know it is supposed to be uplifting...but nah sorry..ZZzzz...the song that Clair did with the choir was nice..but that was it. I think what was sad is that Denise turned out to be a disapointment as well as a college drop out. The other Huxtable kids went to school elsewhere. So much for tradition!

LOL, I was watching the 4 hour block of the Cosby Show last night on TV Land too and feel asleep on this ep and woke 3 hours later-lol

and this was supposed to set up Hillman College for ADW. This episode was worst than any season 1 episode of ADW and that's saying a lot.

Well kind of a indirect set up because it wasn't until the offseason that it was decided Denise would not be seen as much that next season. She was attending Hillman OFF SCREEN in season 3 and then the actual spinoff happened in the next year-lol

That is one boring episode that I always skip. "Because it's Hillman...." College graduation ceremonies are boring enough in real life, watching one for somebody fictitious that is not even a character on the show I am watching just makes it worse many times over.

I know, only the first half of the ep is worth watching

I think the thing that really made it worth watching was Clair's performance of "All Good Things". I actually liked this song and hope to perform it one day.

A little trivia:I remember many of the critics who normally loved the Cosby Show trashing this episode, including Matt Roush, then of USA Today, saying that it didn't deserve first place in the ratings that week, which it happened to lose out to Cheers that very week.

Defintely a episode I will never watch again along with

Pregnant Men Episode
Rudy and her friends with Cliff
Oliva and her friends with Cliff

Actually Sol, all those other episodes are better than that Hillman episode.

Nope to me they are in all in the same DULL category.

Out of the 4 eps, I would say the worst is pregnant ep with the men
