The Cosby Show - Seasons 1 and 2 (Mill Creek) DVD Review

[TJ]

The Huxtables are dancing their way back onto DVD with The Cosby Show - Seasons One and Two! For those unfamiliar with the series (we'd expect that number to be relatively low), The Cosby Show was Bill Cosby's second journey into the sitcom world, but his first incredibly successful sitcom. The series starred Cosby and Phylicia Rashad (Phylicia Ayers-Allen, as credited in the first season) as obstetrician Cliff and attorney Clair Huxtable. Together, they're raising an entire family in the heart of Brooklyn, dealing with all of the daily problems that an upper middle class family has to deal with in raising children. Even though they were an African American family, the series rarely made their race an integral part of the series, instead choosing to portray the family as any other American family. It aired on NBC in the late 80s into the early 90s, and was one of the final pieces to the puzzle that turned NBC from a failing network to the most successful network on TV. In fact, the series spent five consecutive years as the #1 series on TV, and never fell out of the top 20 in the ratings. The latest four-disc release from Mill Creek Entertainment brings the previously out-of-print first two seasons to DVD once again, with all 49 episodes of the first two seasons, in their original unedited form.
