Disappointed but fantastic! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

When I realized that the show wasn't an actual reunion, like most reunions, I was a tad bit disappointed, but I really enjoyed it. I could not stop laughing,
especially when they had showed the bloopers in between scenes. Was anyone else hoping for a movie reunion when you
first heard about this?

Same here, it was interesting but I was screaming for the cast to get back into their roles. Maybe they are saving this for a future show, if the ratings of tonight's show is good enough? Let's hope so, I'd love to see it!

It was nice to see the cast back together. I was hoping that after Cosby brought Phylicia on stage that he would bring some of the other cast members on stage as well. But anyways I loved it and watched it on tape after it was over.

I hope that a reunion movie will come out. I liked Elvin's idea that Cliff and Clair are living with him and Sondra for revenge.

Where are the Huxtables now?

My guess is

Cliff-retired
Clair-running for judge
Sondra-lawyer
Elvin-Doctor
Phylicia's idea where Denise is was cute.

I will go with that.

Theo-a teacher
Vanessa-still dating Dabnius sp?
Rudy-Graduated from College, and has her own place now
Cliff and Clair have a smaller house
Kenny-a Doctor
Peter-finally stops running out of the house

But still says very little things
Pam-Graduated from College
Charmaine and Lance married and have 2 kids
(I was hoping that they would show Pam and Charmaine.)

I wasn't disappointed I thought the Look Back Speical was good. But I did know it wasn't a movie. Hopefully in the future they will do a Reunion Movie. But I doubt Lisa will join them. It seems like she is hating what the show did to her image.

This show makes me laugh sooo much.. i couldnt stop laughing! that mustve been the best show to work on, with bill, and all the crazy things he used to secretly do to screw up a scene.. hmm they need another good show like this on tv now!

gotchrislady · 05-20-2002, 07:35 PM

Although I wasn't a steady viewer of the COSBY show, the reunion was enjoyable. I think the HUXTABLES were about the last real family on the air. I especially enjoyed Malcom's appearance, telling about the special scenes with he and Bill and the others. Also the bloopers.

I loved it! I taped it! OMG, Keisha Knight has gotten, like really pretty too!! I also wish they would do more of a reunion MOVIE. But, overall, great.

danithang · 05-21-2002, 12:12 AM

I loved it, I was cracking up through the whole thing. I taped it also. When everyone said, what their alter egos would have been doing now, I was hoping Keisha would have said, Rudy and Kenny got married or were dated. I thought those two would have made the cutest couple.

What did the show do that was so bad to her image?

Will and Grace Fanatic · 05-21-2002, 12:33 PM

From what I heard from backstage stories on a couple of tv shows that she felt the Cosby show made her look like a goodie. That she did not like people only wanting to cast her as a good girl. That's why she did some movie the had nudity in it.

MandieR1980 · 05-22-2002, 02:29 AM

I knew it wasn't going to be a reunion type thing but I'm glad it wasn't a movie, the reunion movies aren't as funny as the sitcoms. I laughed throught the whole thing and I watched it 3 times and I don't think I'm done yet.

80sTrivia · 05-23-2002, 01:22 PM

I was a little disappointed that it was an actual reunion show either, but rather a collection of old clips with the cast's commentary. I did enjoy seeing the old clips again and they brought back lots of great, happy memories. I didn't miss seeing Lisa Bonet (or whatever she's calling herself these days) that much!!!

From what I heard The Cosby Reunion was
rated at # 1 and was viewed by 18 million people/fans. My husband told me this, he
found this info out on the News Channel.
Don't ask me what channel that is, I have no idea! Just thought I would let you know!

Superbatboy · 05-23-2002, 07:53 PM

Actually it was #10, which pretty good considering it was up against the Survivor finale. I also noticed that it has been the highest rated reunion this year.

Not true. The second highest rated reuinion this year. The Carol Burnett Show reunion got 30 million viewers. But still The Cosby Show did pretty good. And the Carol Burnett Show reunion didn't have any real competion. If it were against Survivor I'm sure it wouldn't have done as well as it did.
