The Huxtables Thursday, November 21, 2002

The Cosby Show reruns late every weekday on Nick-At-Nite and I cannot even begin to explain the exuberant joy it has brought to my existance.   I grew up watching this group of people every single week and it's so much fun to watch these old episodes again.  The Huxtables fucking rock.  It never annoyed me that they had money and a nice house b/c they seemed to earnest about the things that really mattered to them.  Claire was a modern day goddess, that momma could do anything and look HOT while she did it.  And Cliff Huxtable? I mean, really, where does the man FIND those amazing sweaters? Denise was my favorite one, she was such a rebel and so trendy.  She had all those cool friends.  Lisa Bonet is just this huge enigma to me, I love it.  She just had this beautiful smile and laugh, her skin always looked so soft and I'll bet she smelled nice (as you can see, I kind of have a small crush on Lisa Bonet). I watch the show now and just think, Wow, she was so cool and gorgeous.  I love it that she quit the show and was basically like, "Fuck you, Bill Cosby!  I'm gonna marry Lenny Kravitz!  And you know what else? I'm gonna go do this really shitty vampire movie and show the world my boobs---all b/c i fucking can!  Oh, and ANOTHER thing--- I've made up my mind, I'm keeping my baby!"  (I've watched the E! True Hollywood Story on her once or uh..four times).  I also really liked that girl Pam, who came in to live with the Huxtables during the last season when Rudy got all ugly and the Raven Simone kinda stopped being all cute too.  I was never that crazy about Vanessa but she was okay --- didn't Tempest Beldsoe have a talk show a few years ago?  What the hell happened to her anyway?  Theo was anoying as hell though, such a tool.  But I didn't hate him nearly as much as I hated the oldest girl, Sondra.  She was so white!  What was up with her?  I watch these old ep's and I kind of cringe everytime she speaks.  Her diction and pronunciation is just like, too exact and proper.  It's like, Bitch, aren't you supposed to be from Brooklyn?  Toughen up!  Let's see some street, dammit!  Ugh, Sondra was hopeless.

All in all, I just love this show.  My favorite intro, I think, is the Apollo-themed one.. where they're all in tuxedos and evening gowns and just getting jiggy with it and Cliff walks off going, "This is the best elevator music I've EVER heard!"  See, even with all that money and society and class, that family knew how to break it down.  God bless these people.
