Cook, clean, do their laundry, clean their room, pick up after themselves, that when it’s time to become a man they expect their wives to cater to them. It’s a twisted dynamic. Women can become just as exhausted even being housewives. I mean our bodies naturally produce more hormones, and then we shed them every month and some women suffer from PMDD.

    Claire's speech is iconic. I remember watching her as a little asian girl wanting to grow up to be a strong confident career woman like Claire Huxtable was, I even used to practice this scene in the mirror. It never really occurred to me that the family was black and that meant something until later seasons, this show was a staple in my house and the Monopoly money scene was even used in our Family and Consumer Science classes in school. Now that I'm an adult I still love that scene, I still laugh and cringe at Elvin's ideas, but now I have even more respect for Daryll in this episode. Him saying he better do some pretty good cooking and Cliff immediately yelling for Sondra to hurry up is something I would probably do as a parent (or a best friend not wanting my friend to let this gem slip away). Makes me sad that even now there are men like Elvin who aren't doing it because the writers room thought it would be funny

Reversed and vacated after revisiting the point that significant tracts of said evidence were rendered unjust because of a contract dispute entered into by a prosecutor office more than a decade ago where admissibility was horse-traded.
      I will agree with the fact that the reversal was called for on procedural grounds, and I will not be the one shouting "technicalities suck" because, again, I agree that the horse-trade was legally valid, and I agree that Cosby has the legal right to insist that the horse-trade be enforced in this instance.
      I have taught law, so I am less-uninformed than many you might otherwise encounter in the YT comment section.

Bills horrible offences should not take away from the show and art, also there are at least 6 other actors who made this show, aren’t they owed!

      What!? All she had to do is put that finger up, open her mouth, and the entire room would turn into a library!

    Tyler Perry giving this man a lead role in his hit TV show is a blessing for Geoffrey Owens. Good for him x Tyler Perry is a hero.
