In original Cosby Show Pitch, Cliff was a Limo Driver, Claire a Plumber

Bill disowned her after sh should her t1ts in Angel Heart ...

For real, I didn't even think black folks could get to the level they the Huxtables did. I remember being amazed that Claire was a lawyer and Cliff was a doctor and also both being married and happy. I just didn't see that with black folks where I was growing up. Also, it was an all black cast with zero shucking or jiving and because of that Bill Cosby gets an unlimited pass from me. He can say whatever the fukk he wants.

I think he made out OK for himself getting the role as Steve...

Claire talking down to her kids in Spanish would have been Might've made the show even more classic than it already was. Urkel as Rudy...I can't even picture it.

Side note: Theo Huxtable is still to this day one of the GOAT sitcom kids. Very few shows can actually make you give a shyt about the couple's kids, but Theo actually did shyt other than "be cutesy and/or rebellious".

Yeah but that role was more of a curse than gift. Woukd rather be typecast as a Cosby kid instead urkel

3. PHYLICIA RASHAD'S STARE HELPED GET HER THE ROLE
Of all the actresses who auditioned for the role of Clair, Phylicia Rashad caught Cosby’s eye because of the way she argued with Theo during the screen test. Unlike the previous candidates, she didn’t wag her head and she didn’t place her hand on her hip. Instead, she simply stopped speaking and gave Theo a look—and her eyes said enough to frighten any child into submission. Cosby knew immediately that Phylicia was Clair.

That Claire stare WAS

Cosby Show was always impeccably written and acted. Def a top 3 sitcom.

Urkel was also supposed to be in Saved By The Bell but the switched it up. Here his is at 4 minutes in the original Good Morning, Miss Bliss pilot.

having clair being dominican actually sounds like a great idea

I kinda wish they never added sandra. She never really felt part of the family, and def didnt look like either cliff or clair. Plus she was never that attractive to me. Imagine if they chose a prime whitney houston
Outside of that, i think the casting was perfect.

Technically Phylicia is Dominican if I'm not mistaken so it would have worked well

[Pinyapplesuckas]

In addition to Sondra being only 10 years younger than Rashad...Cliff was only a few years younger than the man who played his father on the show

 

[MartyMcFly]

Love the show. Rudy was my first crush as a kid when that fool Kenny kept claiming her during the last season or two of the show I was heated lol. She's still bad tho. Will never forget when she reemerged in that a Chingy video
