I see that. You can't resist sometimes, though, like when he asked if Theo referring to girls as "burgers" was sexist. WTF?

Cliff was right when he said that was the dumbest thing he ever heard in his life. A parent can't just accept his kid casually getting Ds and not giving a damn (now I used it) about how he does in school.

Yeah when its coming from a saint like Dr Cliff Huxtable yeah The Cosby Show is suppose to be this Black version sitcom like The Brady Bunch, Bill Cosby is always saying how sitcoms like Good Times and The Fresh Prince of Bel Air are not good shows for young people to watch because it will rot their brains, yet Bill forgot that he said the D word in the pilot episode he also in the same episode makes an impression of beating theo with a baseball bat to clair as a joke maybe he should tell folks in his speeches not to watch the pilot episode of The Cosby Show because of slight profanity lol.

about the baseball bat thing though -

as soon as Cliff took the baseball bat and proceeded upstairs with it, Clair exclaimed "Cliff!" as to say "Come on Cliff I didn't mean LITERALLY kill him," etc. Clair would have verbally attacked Theo no doubt about it but she didn't want Cliff literally beating their son with the baseball bat.

Yes. It should be shocking, but unfortunately it's become all too common place. It is shocking and annoying to hear Bill Cosby use that phrase, but at least he didn't make a habit of it on the show.
It doesn't matter what age someone is- no one should use foul language and/or take the Name of The Lord in vain.

If people were watching for the first time back in 1984, maybe it would not have been so much of a shocker. I remember watching the first episode at age six but can't remember him saying it.

TVFactFan your a grown man you still cant be mad at me for what happened last year your acting like a 12 year old grow up its over let it go young man.

It's more common now in shows to hear a "damn" or "hell" once in awhile I mean in an early 90's episode of The Simpsons a character called Santa's Little Helper an SOB once.

V-The Final Battle miniseries which came out in 1984 also had a few "damns" and "dammits" in it.

Wrong, the word HELL and DAMM was uttered on All in the Family and the Jeffersons 10 years or so before the Cosby Show
