Description
The Cosby Show appeared on NBC from 1984 to 1992, becoming one of the most popular programs in the history of television. The Cosby Show depicted a close-knit and prosperous African-American family (The Huxtables) that dwelled in New York City. Dr. Heathcliff (OB-GYN) and Clair (attorney) Huxtable were a happily married, dual-profession couple with aspirations of raising their 5 children in an uplifting, positive environment. The Cosby Show held TV's #1 slot for a record 5 consecutive years (1985 to 1990) and stayed in the Top 20 shows for all eight seasons it was on NBC.

Life Goes On - and Adds On! July 10, 2008
Hee we are at the fifth Cosby Show go-round. And, if the viewing audience thought things changed the year before, this season brought changes - to the changes. Lisa Bonet has left the cast of A Different World, and her character, Denise Huxtable struggles with dead end jobs and ends up hopping a plane to Africa as a photographer's assistant. (All this to allow her to give birth to her daugher with Lenny Kravitz, Zoe below the radar.) Also, Theo starts his college degree at NYU but neglects to turn in his dorm fee.
But, why did I mention that first? The biggest change of all is the arrival of the next generation. At the season's opening, Sondra is nine months pregnant. Not with one child, as everyone thought, but with TWINS, Winnie and Nelson. (Only Sondra, Elvin and their doctor know this one piece of information prior to the birth.) Those two babies bring plenty of fun, drama and surrealistic comedy to the 5th season of The Cosby Show.
[Also of note is the re-appearance of Clarice Taylor as Grandma Anna Huxtable; she didn't appear once in Season 4, even though we see plenty of Earl Hyman as Grandpa Russell.]
 The most depressingly funny season March 27, 2008

Why I gave my review this title? Cause honestly I don't remember seing it depressingly funny the first time around. & I mean when it first came out & when I wtached the rerun too.
When i bought the dvd set & watched episode by episode,my GOD it was depressing,probably because of the fact that I was depress I manage to identify myself with Lisa Bonet's character. Or the pains of growing up & dealing with it in Vanessa & Rudy's case. Or the fact that Cliff & Clair were counting down how many kids were left in thw house & many were out. Or the fact that Sondra & Elvin dropped college to open a wilderness business.
But honestly the whole season I found it depressing but it never lost that COSBY SHOW touch! So it was funny & family oriented as usual.
