[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, now that I am a parent of teenagers, I like it more.

One of the early criticisms of the show was that the Huxtable family was "unrealistic."  I admit that as a teen and a young adult, I was sold and bought that bill of goods.

But looking at it now, I can honestly say that Cosby absolutely nailed what it is like to raise teens and it is a totally realistic view.  Cosby raised 5 kids himself and he perfectly captured the challenge.  None of the kids turned out perfectly or reached the "higher than glory" expectations that their parents had for them.  Sandra went to law school but turned her back on her education to follow her own dream.  Denise struggled in college and eventually left.  Theo had an undiagnosed LD that went unresloved until college.  Vanessa went away to college and met an older man and Rudy had her issues too. Despite this great upbringing in an affluent household, life gets in the way of the best laid plans and expectations.  The show gives me a lot of perspective asa parent.   Seriously.
