Why did the house change after episode 2? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

The original Cosby Show home's interior looks more like a typical 2 flat building as a single family home. Was there something about the plots that change the interior of the Huxtable's interior?

While brainstorming for the show, Cosby wasn't exactly sure what direction to take it. Cliff was originally going to be a limousine driver instead of a doctor and Clair a plumber instead of a lawyer. But his wife suggested to change their occupations and make them more successful. So he did, but the house didn't change for the first episode. So the first ep went great so they changed the house.

By the time they were done filming the opening theme, Sondra was not planned to be on the show.
