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 series depicted a close-knit and prosperous African-American family (The Huxtables) that dwelled in New York City. Dr. Heathcliff Huxtable, OB-GYN (Bill Cosby), and his attorney wife Claire (Phylicia Rashad), a happily married, dual-profession couple, had aspirations of raising their five children in a positive, uplifting environment. The Huxtables were truly a groundbreaking family for television. The Cosby Show was an instant smash hit, holding TV's #1 spot for a record five consecutive years (1985-1990), and it remained in the Top 20 shows for all eight seasons it was on NBC. The Cosby Show's popularity was so intense that it has carried over into the 21st Century, and now the Cosby Show is as relevant as it has ever been. The Huxtables are adored around the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Huxtables deliver...every time! July 5, 2010
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you're considering buying the Cosby Show and you're reading this review, then I don't have to tell you how much I love the Cosby Show; chances are you know exactly what I mean. So, let's skip the formalities, shall we?

I bought them all (seasons 1-8) on DVD about 3 or 4 weeks ago and I haven't regretted it one bit. The discs were packaged well and secure, and they arrived in a timely manner. The only thing that seemed to be missing was the Chapter List from one of the Seasons - big deal. So why are you still reading my review?? Just buy it already! And enjoy :)

How can you not love The Cosby Show?! I grew up on this show - it has a lot of great lessons and clean humor for both young and old. This is a great price for a must-have series.

5.0 out of 5 stars great Cosby bargain June 5, 2011
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
For anyone who remembers and loves this show, this is a great bargain: 2 for 1! Forget buying the seasons one at a time when you pay the same price for two at a time. And Cliff Huxtable is as funny as I remember. Introduce your kids to this great show with its good values and morals.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best sitcom of all time! December 30, 2010
By Sazzy
Format:DVD
Family situations and parenting as timely today as ever. Great comedy, wonderful family entertainment. It's my family's favorite show of all time, and with these DVD's you can watch them over and over again. Surprises throughout the episodes with early appearances by celebrities that are much better known now than they were at the time. The pilot episode alone is worth the price.

Format:DVD
The Cosby Show will always get a 5 out of 5 from me, no matter what. And these DVDs are great. Two seasons for the price of one = foolproof. The SEASON 1 set that I got is the 2011 version by Millennium Entertainment and from what I've read online, the episodes are now uncut, and the last disc features the bonus stuff from the "complete series" release. SEASON 2 is from First Look Entertainment (the 2006 release) and is also said to be uncut. My only complaints: The SEASON 1 set does not contain a slipcover like SEASON 2, and when watching SEASON 1 I noticed that the video quality would change within certain scenes and then get better again. Could've been better restored, but I have been waiting for a long time to get this show on DVD and I'm thrilled to have it in my collection despite those flaws.

*SEASON 2 AUDIO INFO* - With season 2 I have been experiencing audio issues. The audio will shift from Dolby Digital to Dolby Pro Logic every time I start an episode or pause it. In fact, just going to the menu caused it to do the same thing. I don't know if it's my receiver or the discs themselves, but I wanted to mention it so if anyone else has this same problem, then they'd know that it's not just them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Ever! March 12, 2012
Format:DVD
I had never watched "The Cosby Show" until I got pregnant and my husband decided to start watching it on Netflix. I immediately loved it and wanted to watch the whole thing - all 8 seasons - before our baby was born. Well, that obviously didn't happen but we kept watching it even after our baby girl was born, until one day Netflix decided to remove "The Cosby Show" from the "watch instantly" feature and we had to stop. I was so frustrated that I decided I wanted to buy all 8 seasons of The Cosby Show - not only so that I could finish it, but also to be able to show it to my daughter when she's older! So, we purchased all 8 seasons and I'm so glad we did because we now own hours and hours of comedy that will always be timeless and entertaining.

Before I purchased from this seller, I looked at other sellers from which I could order the same product and have it shipped through Amazon Prime, however, their product was about $100.00 more expensive than from this seller, and it was the exact same product! Also, the shipping was faster than I expected and totally worth paying the $12.00 extra dollars. I'm very pleased with my purchase!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Cosby Show Seasons 1 & 2 December 22, 2011
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Look, either you LOVE The Cosby Show, or you don't. I will not go into a lengthy discussion of what the show is about or what my favorite episodes/seasons are, since I believe others in the amazon community to be better versed and more expressive than myself in the language arts :)

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, The Cosby Show! It is the most fun show for me to watch, yes even some 20-years later (has it been that long... hmmm??). It is innocent fun, with sometimes corny messages (DEFINITELY not as bad as Disney channel shows, though), but seriously I can't stand most of what I see on TV lately. I mostly enjoy 30-minute sitcoms, and frankly there aren't too many of those around that don't get into politics/religion-bashing/other-people-bashing/crude sex jokes (I'm absolutely not a prude, but crudeness I find annoying lately). Kind of sick of the "Me"-culture these days, so I started ordering complete dvd series of my favorite shows, this being one of them. Sometimes, I just want to laugh at innocent silliness rather than a mean joke or put-down. The world has enough jerks to fill my cup in that regard, so The Cosby Show is my retreat from that.

Frankly, I'm not sure you can force this show on your children if they have already been exposed & addicted to the unadulterated crap out there, but certainly worth a try.
