Once again “The Cosby Show” starts with a bang. In the beginning of this sixth season Denise comes home from Africa with quite a surprise; she’s married with a young step-daughter. This season introduces Olivia played by a very young Raven Simone. I must say she is a great addition to the Huxtable cast with her adorable faces and grand imagination. I love her argument with Cliff over how babies arrive (by stork of course!). Just when Cliff thinks he can finally empty his home of some of his children they come back….with extras. This storyline continues through the season with much added humor.

There are also some serious issues as the brainy Vanessa turns to teen rebellion by sneaking off to concerts and drinking. I think the show does a nice job of pointing out Vanessa’s mistakes while still keeping it somewhat comical. I also found the twist interesting that Vanessa, the child shown to be very bright and driven in school, seems to be the most rebellious. This touch makes the show more realistic. Overall, I really enjoyed this season.
