Default Why in the world would Bill Cosby and Phylicia Rashad???

why would these two play husband and wife in a different sitcom? is this stupiest thing you ever saw? That's like Sherman Hemsley and Isabel Sanford playing another married couple instead of George and Louise Jefferson. Bill Cosby should really think about what he is doing-don't think he thought about the stupidy ofthis show at all

It just doesn't make sense-I think that is the first time it ever happen in TV-A married couple on one show, and then married on another show-Bill cosby makes me think it would really like to be married to Phylicia Rashad-I know his wife was thinking about that one

What the hell is it with you? You stroll around posting negative remarks about shows you don't like. Why bother if you don't like the show. There's plenty of shows I don't care for, but I don't go to those boards and start ripping them apart.
You're the official weight watcher of TV--you're always posting, this so and so actress has gained weight. You've got issues kid. It's not my problem, but just know that people are taking notice that you're a few fries short of a Happy Meal.

I'm a TV Analyzer, and whether a comment is positive or negative, it supposed to be all in good fun-how can anyone take a message on here seriously-i just never seen two people married on two different shows

I think Bill and Phylicia Rashad have a chemistry going. I don't see him with anyone else. I liked this show. Doug E Doug and Bill Cosby clicked well. Madeline Kahn was sensational. The cast was a wonderful match.

Still i don't think that ever happen before-two characters who were a married couple on one show and play another married couple on a different sitcom-i just thought that was kind silly

I believe that Bill Cosby decided to do a second show with Phylicia Rashad because he realizes that they had such a unique bonding on camera. I don't blame the man, Phylicia is truly a good actress. She has a lot of credentials. She is: beautiful, great singer, and good with spanish. So you think about it, why settle for less.

It still doesn't make sense. Two people who played a married couple for 8years and then go play another married couple on a different show-Very silly-They should have related that show to the cosby show in some way.

You are absolutely right, but they still look good together on camera.

You know how one dimensional TV executives are. Here was a formula that already was a success why not just do it again. Saves time, money, and imagination.
Luckily, this is an open forum where people can express their opinion?

I agree with you Solomon on this one. I was changing channels randomly the other day and saw this show for the first time and it was weird seeing the same two actors married again but as different characters. I had to do a double take to realize what show I was watching. If they were so wonderful together, then why not just bring back the original show and maybe tweek it a bit with some new characters?

SOLOMON, obviously Bill liked working with Phylicia from The Cosby Show, is it such a crime that they do another show together? I mean if they were good friends why not. Besides take into consideration that Bill and Phylicia are actors, they may work together again, playing a couple.

i think that Bill and Phylicia are awesome together!!! I think that he thought if they were awesome once together they could probably be good together again.


But SOLOMON, it is sorta weird to have the same wife and husband in 2 different series. Kinda confusing

I must admit that it was difficult at first to get used to the pair as Hilton and Ruth Lucas, but once you get used to the new names, it works out well, and the two do have good chemistry together.
