And Sondra is essential.

Ummm Olivia was the best add on character,and that "Rudy 2" may have been what kept the show goin a little longer anyway


What does everyone have against Pam,she was a deep sista!

Maybe noone understands that Bill Cosby recognized talent when he saw it and gave his people opportunity when it was possible,he's never gone wrong with his chosen characters...

I liked Pam on the show also. I don't see why people don't like her. If anything, I think she brought realness to the show. She came from a single parent home, didn't have much money, but yet wanted to go to college and make it.

I think Pam was OK, but it wasn't neccessary (or however u spell it) to put her on the show. I think they should have added a teenge male to the show, since there was alot of girls on the show already...and I like Olivia because she was alot different from Rudy when she was a kid...she looked nothing like Rudy, but they were both adorable in their own ways.. and unlike Rudy, Olivia was much more clever and more mature. And Rudy was just your average child, but that's okay...

Sondra Huxtable: A great addition! I loved her character!
Elvin Tibideaux: Very funny! Always made me laugh!
Martin Kendall: He was alright. It depends on the episode.
Olivia Kendall: I didn't really like her character. She got on my nerves sometimes.
Pam Tucker: So funny! I really liked her character!

I'll pick Pam. I found HER problems annoying and she didn't seem like a relative.

I think it was Martin, his character really had no debt, but Sondra and her hubby are running closely in this race!!!!!!!!

All that bickering they did back and forth was bothersome and not needed to make this show better. When the had the twins they became a little more interesting.

As for Pam, that role was really needed to see how other urban teenagers live, that are not so fortunate and see what issues the lower income deal with. Cosby knew that his audience was wanting this to be dealt with, since a lot of viewers are lower income familys. Her not being all that intelligent, "put the icing on the cake!" They Cosby's were such a perfect family, even their dilemas were not at all tragic, so imperfect viewers thrived to view imperfection..............which was PAM

We know she was a great actress, hey unlike the others, she is still around!

I say Pam but Olivia comes in a close second. She was annoying and a smart-a$$. Rudy was cute and adorable and more sincere. She's ten times better than Olivia will ever be.

Whatever the case, they both ruined the show especially Pam. What the f*ck was that about? Cosby trying to be ghetto all of a sudden? Puhleeeze. Adding all the teenagers with their hightops and fashions. I was like, whatever Cosby. Too little too late.
