Default Never paid attention to this until today but the Huxtables never had a....

microwave inside their kitchen

This was highlighted in today's season 7 episode when the carribean guy came to cook in their kitchen and asked where the microwave was and Cliff said

"we don't have one"


Wonder why???

Knowing them, that's probably what they thought. I don't know. Everyone that I knew had a microwave. I remember getting one in the mid 1970's. It was a big thing at the time.

We got ours around 1975 or 1976. I don't know how much it cost. I know it was a big deal. I don't think I could live without one nowadays. lol

I would never use a microwave. I don't consider that cooking. It's just heating. I guess the Huxtables felt the same way!

That kitchen looks like the same set that was used for Family Ties. The Huxtable fireplace looks like where the Keaton's had their stove.
