The Cosby Show - Series 6 [import]

We love the Cosby show and although there are a couple of slow episodes, usually involving Denise, it still made us laugh. The kids are good actors especially the young little girl whose name I forget. Cliff is still funny even if we have heard some of his jokes before. Overall we found this to be a good season and already have season 7.

Excellent show. There is no more to say about that. Received the package before time in expected condition. Can only recommend this for everyone that is interested.

Excellent.

This series is about the Huxtables, an upper middle-class African-American family. They live in Brooklyn in New York. Cliff Huxtable is an obstetrician and his wife, Claire, is an attorney. They have four daughters and one son, called Sondra, Denise, Theodore, Vanessa and Rudy. It is very funny, even now, more than 20 years later. It also deals with quite serious topics and is pretty insightful about them. It showed from 1984 to 1992 and was regarded as the most successful TV show of the 1980s. I have read that it was based on Bill Cosby's stand-up comedy act, which in turn, was based on his own family life. I loved this series when it was first shown in the UK. I am embarrassed and ashamed to admit that it was the first time that I had ever thought about family life in another racial group than my own and (at the time) I found this series revelatory. Leaving that issue aside (and racial issues were seldom mentioned in it), this was a brilliant series. The Americans do slightly schmaltzy family series extremely well, for a start. Secondly, the towering talent of Bill Cosby lifted this series way above the average. He has such marvellous presence that he could have made almost any old rubbish seem marvellous - and this wasn't any old rubbish. Every character in the series was beautifully played and the episodes were just as beautifully written. In fact, it won a whole series of awards. Because Cosby's father in the series was supposed to be a jazz trombonist, many wonderful musicians featured in the programme, including BB King, Sammy Davis JR and Stevie Wonder. I think this is a wonderful series that stands the test of time.

I love all of Cosby show!! Obviously my favorites are the latest ones as kids are grown up by then!! I have them all and I enjoy it!!

This product was advertised on the site in English and when it arrived the cover and back was all in a different language and had subtitles on.

Loved the show when it was on TV. I haven't watched the DVD's yet.

Awesome show! It’s a shame people punish this show because of Cosby antics

j'ai toutes les saisons de cosby j'attends le 8eme avec impatience , j'aime tellement les cosby !!! c'est très famille je le conseil à tous

Die Folgen in dieser Kollektion wurden ja bereits aufgeführt. Und dass "The Bill Cosby Show" ein Klassiker unter den Sitcoms und heute noch sehenswert ist, ist sicherlich unbestritten. Zu dieser DVD-Kollektion sollte man dann nur noch hinzufügen, dass leider keine Untertitel vorhanden sind, die doch auch immer mehr bei Fernsehserien angeboten werden (z.B. "Two and a Half Men"). Ein Plus ist das recht unkomplizierte Menü (ich mag es gerade bei Serien nicht, wenn ich sehr lange auf das Startmenü oder auf Untermenüs warten muss) und die Möglichkeit (die es zum Glück bei den meisten, aber nicht bei allen Serien gibt), den Vorspann mit der Tracktaste zu überspringen. Die Vorspänne sind zwar gerade bei Bill Cosby immer sehr liebevoll gestaltet, aber sie dauern doch eine Weile, und wenn man mehrere Folgen hintereinander schaut, dann ist man doch froh über diese Option. Für Fans der kleinen Olivia: Diese ist hier nicht nur auf dem Cover abgebildet, sie taucht nun auch zum ersten Mal in der Serie auf. Gleich in der 1. Folge dieser Staffel ("Heimliche Hochzeit") bringt Denise ihren neuen Ehemann mit nach Hause und mit ihm ihre Stieftochter Olivia. Diese bereichert die Serie sehr mit ihrem Witz und Charme.

Diese Serie ist einfach Kult. Bill Cosby ist so Klasse, man hat bei jeder Folge immer was zu lachen. Eine Sendung für die ganze Familie.
