Movie Reviews of The Cosby Show - Season 2
Movie Review: A solid and very enjoyable second season that is much better and funnier than the first.
Summary: 5 Stars
A solid and very enjoyable second season that is much better and funnier than the first, but not the best season of the series. The second season has an assortment of great episodes among the good episodes though none of the episodes from this season are bad. It includes the family lip synching to Ray Charles' classic tune "The Night Time Is The Right Time" (the "Happy Anniversary" episode), one of the most memorable moments from the entire series. The first appearance of Elvin as Sondra's boyfriend (future husband) in the episode "Cliff In Love". I also can't help but laugh every time Rudy's friend Peter appears in an episode, just the expressions on his face ("The Dentist" episode), and the way he runs out of a room when there's trouble ("The Juicer" episode) cracks me up. Theo's best buddy and partner in rhymes, Cockaroach (Carl Anthony Payne III), makes his first appearance in "Theo And Cockaroach". Stevie Wonder guest stars in an episode, inviting the family to the recording studio (the episode "A Touch Of Wonder"). My favorite episode from this season is hands down "Theo's Holiday" when eveyone in the Huxtable house teaches Theo a harsh but funny lesson about what it's like to live in 'the real world'. This episode is still hilarious after many repeated viewings.
"The Cosby Show" is my favorite family comedy series. Though it's not outrageous like "Married...With Children" or "Roseanne", my second and third favorite family centered comedy series, it is not as sweet and sentimental as "Full House" or "Family Matters". It's right in the middle, dealing with real situations of adolescence and family affairs and still being genuinely funny. I grew up watching "The Cosby Show" and also I grew up watching "Married...With Children", and I liked having that contrasting view of family life presented on tv. Whereas "Married..." showed us the low class family lifestyle, "Cosby" showed us the upper class family lifestyle, and both were funny and seperately identified with by many different families. Dr. Heithcliff Huxtable is a great father because he taught his children lessons in life, not the clean cut way Ward Cleaver did on "Leave It To Beaver" and not the cynical way Al Bundy did on "Married...With Children", but his way that was original and clever, sometimes harsh but always caring. Clair Huxtable is the best tv mom of all-time in my opinion. The most outrageous tv mom would be Marie Barone in "Everybody Loves Raymond" or Peg Bundy in "Married...With Children", but the best tv mom is definitely Mrs. Huxtable. She's intelligent, beautiful, successful, funny, strong, loving, and caring. Then there are the Cosby kids, and I liked all of them. Sondra was the oldest and the most cerebral and complex character, especially her rocky relationship with future husband Elvin (the episode "Cliff In Love" and "Full House"). It was definitely Denise who had the most responsibilites of the Cosby kids left in the household (the episode "Denise Drives" and "Denise's Decision"), being the oldest of the the kids left in the house. Theo and Vanessa, being the teens of the family, made most of the mistakes and had most of the lessons being taught to them for those mistakes (the episodes "Vanessa's Bad Grade", "Mrs. Westlake" and "Theo And The Older Woman"). Rudy was smart for a child her age as well as cute ("Rudy Suits Up" and "Happy Anniversary"), but in later seasons, Olivia (Raven Simone) was the smartest and most adorable little girl in tv history (far and away more than the Olsen twins were on Full House, plus she is a very beautiful woman now which I can't say at all for Mary-Kate and Ashley).
I highly recommend buying the second season of "The Cosby Show" instead of watching the re-runs on Nick At Nite or TBS in the morning. It is definitely worth it to be apart of the best tv family.
