It was bittersweet to watch the last season of “The Cosby Show.” As always, I enjoyed the laughs and the characters, but knowing this was the end made me wish it could have gone longer. Once again the season started in high gear when Sondra and Elvin are left “homeless” while waiting to move into their new house. Of course Cliff starts to think he may never get rid of any of his children which is just too funny. Viewers see Rudy come into her teen years and push against authority. Her comical dream shows a touch of envy for Olivia who seems to have the adults wrapped around her cute little finger. Then Rudy and her friends sneak off to a 16 and older club; viewers also see a more experienced Cliff and Claire send secret chaperone’s.

Of course, the series finale was a tear-jerker as well as a comedy. Theo finally graduates from college and Cliff’s pride in his son is in high gear as he invites more and more people to the limited seating graduation. Viewers get a flashback of a young Theo people thought may not graduate from high school let alone college, and Cliff and Claire have a farewell dance. Don’t worry, I have left a couple surprises for the viewers to enjoy as I have enjoyed watching the Huxtables.
