Editorial Reviews

The Cosby Show appeared on NBC from 1984 to 1992, becoming one of the most popular programs in the history of television. The Cosby Show depicted a close-knit and prosperous African-American family (The Huxtables) that dwelled in New York City. Dr. Heathcliff (OB-GYN) and Clair (attorney) Huxtable were a happily married, dual-profession couple with aspirations of raising their 5 children in an uplifting, positive environment. The Cosby Show held TV's #1 slot for a record 5 consecutive years (1985 to 1990) and stayed in the Top 20 shows for all eight seasons it was on NBC.

2.0 out of 5 stars A Word of Warning. July 4, 2007

By E. Harris

Format:DVD

This season they have changed a couple of things. First, no funny bloopers on the last disc like seasons past. Second, you can no longer select a "PLAY ALL" option. That is a very bad decision if you ask me. Every TV show DVD should have that. I like to sleep with the TV set on a timer at night. And I'll play an entire TV show disc. You can't do that when they remove the entire option like they did with this season. Lastly, they changed the type of case. It is no longer a fold out gate box. It's 3 mini thin DVD cases in a slip case. Not that that's bad, but I hate it when they do that when earlier seasons were different. Your collection will not be uniform. So despite this being a great show. The lack of effort all of a sudden is easliy noticable. They wen't "cheap" on us. Cosby Show deserves better than this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great show, not user-friendly dvds July 11, 2007

To the best of my knowledge, this is the complete collection of The Cosby Show: Season Three. I'm a big fan of the show, and I'm thrilled by the compilation.

My only complaint is the actual ability to maneuver through the screens. Selecting the episodes (which have no name on the tv screen, so you need to keep the box handy) can get tedious. You need to flip through each episode and each of its acts before you can select the episode of your choice. Additionally you need to remember to turn the subtitles off, since they automatically run.

With the exception of the subtitles, there aren't any special features to this DVD collection.

However, it's still the Cosby Show, and I think that for most people, it'll still all be worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Show! May 8, 2007

Jabber doesn't know what he's talking about. "a perfectly clean house", have you ever seen Theo's room? "never, ever watching TV" Theo watches wrestling, Rudy watches cartoons, Cliff watches Westerns and Football, and Denise watches MTV. "They never have chores" If there rooms are clean (except for Theo), then they must have chores. They have to make their beds which is shown, ect. "they never have real problems" all the kids, especially in the later years, cause Cliff nothing but problems!! "everything is resolved in twenty minutes by a joking father" there are actually loving parents out there (mine included) that solve the problems that happen in every household. A great show about a very real family.
