I was saying the same thing about the grand pop man he looked old.

I wanted to see Walter...aka Cockroach myself.

Yes I knew that Chiorboy was the doctor, he was my man in the 5 heartbeats movie, so I always remembered him from that point on.

I think Deon Richmond...aka Bud or Kenny looked really good. I think he looked better from when he was on the show Sister Sister.

laydgreek I noticed that as well. I was like they looking real comfortable with one another...lounging all up on each other.

I was wondering who won the money on Survivor, I saw the sista at the end with Rosie, and she didn't eat what ever she gave them to eat, so I was wondering if she was the winner...glad ths won as well.

I was wondering the same thing about Puffy doing the commentary!!:eek:

I enjoyed the show as well. After hearing that it wasn't going to be an episode to say like where they are in life, I wasn't sure what they were going to do. I was like I could see the clips on Nick at Night, but it turned out to be cool after all. It was nice to see them all, and to see Peter as an adult, and I really wanted to see the twins and what they look like now.

Re: I watched
 

I think I heard that they are together, but I can't remember where I heard it from, so it may not be reliable......but wouldn't it be nice.:p

OMG
 

I just realized why this little boy on Even STevens looks so familiar to me.:D Ren's childhood best friend named NELSON used to be NELSON on the last couple of seasons on the COSBY SHOW!! :cool: GO ME GO ME GO GO GO :D I would always see him on Even Stevens (Disney Channel) and say I know I know this little whipper snapper. He is just a bigger, teenage version of Cosby Nelson.

I was feeling all nostalgic watching the Cosby Reunion!! Ahh, the good old days when TV was worth watching!! I'm still mad that Lisa Bonet, or Liliquoi Moon didn't participate! :mad:

I also noticed the way they were holding hands. Their fingers were laced together. I usually think of that as being more intimate than the typical hand-holding. Maybe thats just me.

Re: OMG
 

CT4 ,

Now you gone make me go watch Even Stevens.;)

Why was I misty-eyed at the end of the show?

Because I loved the show. It was such a great time in television history. The show was important in my socialization and my life.

I truly enjoyed the Cosby Show Reunion.

Here are my comments:

1. I do think that "Russell and Anna" are a couple in real life. They appeared rather comfortable. They were in each others arms like an old married couple. Or, they are just really close friends...which is possible among that age set. The grandfather did age...life progresses in ten years...and with it...the challenges of getting older.

2. I was clapping in my apartment when they showed Peter. I was waiting for that (as you may remember from a previous posting..Peter is my favorite non-Cosby kid). I was also elated to see Deon Richmond (bka "Kenny").

3. Keshia looked wonderful. She looked so poised. You can definitely tell that she went to Spelman. She had such confidence and was humble in everything that she said. Her maturity just struck me.

4. I was displeased with Tempestt Bledsoe (bka "Vanessa") and her referring to Bill Cosby and Phylicia Rashad as "Bill and Phylicia". Maybe it is just me, but I think that it showed a little disrespect for her elders. Even Phylicia called Bill Cosby "Mr. Cosby".

5. Theo has matured. He's definitely looking "man-ly". It would have been nice to see Cockroach. Although we saw him, Carl Payne for many years, it would have been nice to see him outside of the bufoonish character he played on Martin. I would have liked to see his "real" side.

6. My heart was leaping when Bill Cosby presented Phylicia Rashad with the two dozen yellow roses. ...and that he made mention of her importance on the show as his "catcher" and the more serious actress, which she was. At that point of the show, I was really feeling for Phylicia Rashad. She has been through so much, and continue to lift her head amidst the tide. Her on-screen and off screen personas are the epitome` of Black womanhood.

7. Why was I having a hard time with Raven Symone`? I felt like she wasn't a "real" Cosby kid..but more of a visitor. Maybe it was just me.

8. I overall enjoyed the reunion. It was the best time in television history....a time not to be forgotten. The show itself won numerous awards. Including Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series (84-85) as well as awards for writting and directing. Its biggest award the hearts of millions whose ideas were changed as a result of the show.

Maybe its because I'm young but I didn't know that Phylisha Rashaad was pregnant during one season of the show. I looked at the clips they were showing and sure enough I can see it now. And that "cut a hole" in the bed thing is something I never would have thought of. Technology is an amazing thing now that we can used it.

I'm not sure I would call that "technology" At the time it appeared as a bad coverup. That whole season was funny to me because it was public knowledge that she was pregnant. So I spent more time laughing at all the ways they attempted to hide it--grocery bags, flowers, a huge teddy bear, and yes the "she appears to be sinking into the mattress" cut out in the bed. :D

I was surprised that Clair was pregnant too, I hadn't even noticed it as a child, but then again I was like 7 years old, but even as I was older, I didn't realize it. I did however realize the episode when she seemed to be sinking in the bed.

I think the cutest thing was them showing Kiesha's audition tape, and her singing some kind of song at the end of the show.

The whole night made me wish that The Cosby Show and A Different World would come back on air. Those where shows I could sit and watch with my grandma and she would find it funny.

Boy I miss good old fashion t.v.!:(

I try to catch the reruns whenever possible. What BET (since it is SUPPOSED to be black entertainment televison) should do is by the syndication rights to both shows and put them back on the air. In some parts of the world, I can see A Different World and in some parts I can't. I hope that The Cosby Show Retrospective comes on again because would like to see it from begining to end. Does anybody have it on tape or could I download it from one of the fake napster sites (wait, downloading is against my principle, let me stick to borrowing)?

I noticed that too....I thought it was sweet!!:D

My thoughts:

1. Carl Payne (Also known as Cockroach) was kicked off the show because he refused to cut his hair- saw it on The Cosby Show E! True Hollywood story

2. Seeing Peter again had me ROOOOOLLLLIIIIN!

3. WHEN WHEN WHEN are they going to sell The Cosby Show episodes on tv? I am TELLING YOU that that is a goldmine! I know sooo many black folks who just wish that their kids could be exposed to entertainment like that and would shell out the money for the first couple of seasons (all the way up to Olivia- I'm sorry but she is not a real Cosby kid, and lil Missy has not aged well! I am not anywhere near old enough to be her Mama, but I wanted to grab her and wipe some of that makeup off! Just plucking her eyebrows properly would do more than all the concealer in the world!

4. Baaabyyyyy! Babbbyyyyy! That is my FAVORITE TELEVISION SCENE perhaps ever!

5. I watch the re-runs on that show on Nick at Nite and I am ALWAYS struck by the sheer vast amounts of pink and green on that show, lol. Every other episode Claire and the daughters are wearing tons of it!

6. The E True Hollywood Story had all the real dirt on the show- do try to catch it!

7. Puffy. Why?

Why? Why? Why?

Overall, when I wasn't watching the sister win on Survivor (Go head V! Can't spell her name and won't even try!) that show was so heartwarming. I would so shell out the money for DVD's!
