Classic TV Shows
demanded that The Cosby Show be produced in New York.
Even though the Huxtables lived in Brooklyn, the exterior
shots of their home on The Cosby Show is actually a
house located at 10 Saint Luke’s Place in Manhattan.
The Cosby Show is a sitcom starring Bill Cosby that aired
for eight seasons on NBC from 1984 until 1992. The show
focuses on the Huxtable family, an affluent African-American
family living in Brooklyn, New York.
Looking back at season 1 of The Cosby Show, it’s easy
to forget that momentous history was being made. Not
only did this immensely popular sitcom hold the #1 spot
among all network TV shows for five consecutive seasons
(a record that still stands), but it promoted an evolutionary
progression that influenced the entire TV industry from
that point forward. African Americans had enjoyed sitcom
success in the past (on Julia, The Jeffersons, and Good
Times), but the idealized family of Cliff and Clair Huxtable
(Bill Cosby and Phylicia Rashad) represented a new and
quietly revolutionary perspective; married for 21 years with
five children, the Huxtables were happy and successful, and
issues of race were almost entirely irrelevant to the show’s
universal appeal.

Trivia:
Bill Cosby didn’t care much for working in Hollywood so he
In the first season, Cliff’s name was Clifford. In later seasons,
his name is Heathcliff. In the first episode of the final season,
however, Clair calls him Heathclifford.
In the opening episode, the Huxtables have only four children
(Denise, Theo, Vanessa, and Rudy). A few weeks later, a fifth
child, Sondra, appears.
When Cliff and Clair leave Theo alone in the house while they
go on a ski trip, Cliff is carrying some skis out. He drops a ski
and it knocks everything off Clair’s desk. In the next scene, the
objects are on the desk again.

Peter Costa, who played Huxtable neighbor and Rudy’s
playmate Peter suffered stage fright, and due to that
would often forget his lines. This resulted in his character’s
communication via trademark facial expressions and always
running out of the house at the sign of trouble.
Bill Cosby never received an EMMY Nomination for his
acting on the series. This was at the request of Cosby as
he was personally opposed to such competition between
performers.
Rudy was originally going to be a son, but when a suitable
boy could not be found, girls were allowed to audition.
The character Cliff Huxtable
was ranked first in TV Guide’s
list of the 50 Greatest TV Dads
of All Time (20 June 2004
issue).
Much of the artwork that hangs
on the walls in the Huxtable
household is by renowned fine artist Synthia Saint James
and by the painter Varnette Honeywood.
Bill Cosby regularly ad-libbed many of his lines.
