They should have wrapped it up before Pam arrived. Taking a good thing too far.

I also don't remember Vanessa getting married! Man, I thought I knew a little something about the Huxtables, but maybe I outgrew the show earlier than I thought!

NP here. I have ZERO recollection of Pam!!

I'm with you! I remember Olivia (and her Navy dad), as well as The Wretched in Baltimore episode (classic!). But I have no idea who Pam is.

Oh yes, that episode with "The Wretched" concert in Baltimore was one of the best. Loved Claire's response. The best shows were when the kids got in trouble.


Whew, I was scared for Vanessa in that episode.

Speaking of Vanessa, Cliff and Claire were much tougher on her when she messed up. Denise and Theo were often screwing up and the parents barely raised their voices. When Vanessa disobeyed they would raise hell. (It's been a long summer with too much TV)

like all shows, when they start adding characters that were not there to begin with.
