this is a good question

Fresh Prince. never watched the Cosby Show, he seemed annoying in the ads i'd sometimes see for it and it just put me off.

Vivienne #2 sucked tho, why did the first one leave?

is hard to think of real classic Fresh Prince moments tho - all i got right now is Carlton dancing to Oprah theme.

― blueski, Wednesday, 26 March 2008 17:46 (eighteen years ago)

"very special episodes"

Bullets over Bel-air!

― carne asada, Wednesday, 26 March 2008 17:52 (eighteen years ago)

Vivienne #2 sucked tho, why did the first one leave?

Don't know, but I stopped watching when Vivienne #2 showed up. It was just weak.

― Nicole, Wednesday, 26 March 2008 18:04 (eighteen years ago)

too bad we never got to see Jazzy Jeff literally jump over a shark

Fresh Prince. altho there is a lot of love on ILE for Cosby (I don't get it meself)

― Shakey Mo Collier, Wednesday, 26 March 2008 18:21 (eighteen years ago)

Carlton crushes the Huxtables with his dancing alone.

Cosby, tho i want those sneakers

I was the biggest Fresh Prince fan on earth, but no way that show is better than Cosby.

yeah guys the writing on FP was just slightly better than Saved By The Bell. I mean Cosby was no great shakes, esp the last couple of seasons, but um yeah. Cosby.

― will, Wednesday, 26 March 2008 20:04 (eighteen years ago)

Whiney OTM: this question is weirding me out. It's like "Cheers vs. Empty Nest" or something.

― jaymc, Wednesday, 26 March 2008 22:08 (eighteen years ago)

Or I guess in this case "The Jeffersons vs. What's Happening"

― nabisco, Wednesday, 26 March 2008 22:08 (eighteen years ago)

"Fresh Prince" didn't have Denise or Elvin, so it loses.

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Wednesday, 26 March 2008 22:09 (eighteen years ago)

Oh, you know what, though? I was watching an older Cosby Show a while back, and there was a scene in Rudy's classroom (maybe 3rd grade, or something), and there was this familiar-looking kid in the desk next to her, and then I suddenly realized it was Tatyana Ali (i.e., Ashley from Fresh Prince)!

― nabisco, Wednesday, 26 March 2008 22:12 (eighteen years ago)

if you muted everybody on the Cosby show except Phylicia Rashad & the show wound up making no sense as a result, it would still rule supreme over Fresh Prince

Fresh Prince is a relic of a very bad era. Cosby Show was a decent (if generic) sitcom.

"Fresh Prince" didn't have "Cosby"'s awesome batshit moments, like whenever Claire turned into a horndog after grounding Vanessa for 34 years or ordering Theo to clean the house after calling it a "circus" and the living room "the big top."

she doesn't look great there, but it was pretty o_O on the Cosby kids poll thread when Nicole referred to her as Kravitz's "little troll daughter."

I have the Cosby with special Robert Culp guest appearance / I Spy reunion waiting on the DVR at home. Also one of the crossovers where they go visit Denise at college and Theo meets Dwayne Wayne.

― nabisco, Friday, 12 December 2008 20:18 (seventeen years ago)

the Cosby show is, for me, the kind of with-us-or-against-us deal that "freedom" is for the Bush administration

― nabisco, Friday, 12 December 2008 20:18 (seventeen years ago)

I saw some Cosby Show reruns on TV Land or something the other day and was really amazed by how well it holds up! (apart from the occasional moment of jarring cognitive dissonance caused by, e.g., Theo trying to impress a girl by 'dressing up' in a ridiculous shiny sleeveless purple buttondown shirt)

Theo trying to impress a girl by 'dressing up' in a ridiculous shiny sleeveless purple buttondown shirt)

I remember the silk, two-tone (yellow and black) Gordon Gartrell shirt.

― kate78, Friday, 12 December 2008 20:51 (seventeen years ago)

That whole sequence at the end of the shirt episode, when Theo runs in Denise's room with the shirt on and he's both furious and dumbstruck and the audience sees the shirt for the first time is one of my favorite moments of tv ever.

― Johnny Fever, Friday, 12 December 2008 20:53 (seventeen years ago)

Fuck you, Cosby.
