…he’s probably my favorite father on television.
I wonder how many men–fathers–remember his classic lines from this clip…and use them from time to time themselves.

I L*O*V*E the Cosby Show! When I had a step-son who was convinced that he didn’t need good grades because he was going to be a professional baseball player (he was 11 at the time and the smallest in his class) we used this example. It didn’t convince him and I don’t know how he turned out because his father was more of an idiot and I divorced him.
Me too! I loved that show. Will still watch it when I get a chance.
I’ve always loved this show, especially for the human-ness that they brought to parenting. Just showed our 13 year old this clip and he thought it was hilarious until the last part. He went to bed with images of brains oozing out of his ear and his dad taking him out for not trying. LOL!!!
Loved it! “I brought you into this world and I’ll take you out!” That was my favorite of all time.
Just watched this with the hubby. We both laughed at the memories. Fun to wait for Cosby’s “That was the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard you say!” Awesome.
Definitely a huge loss to TV. Great clip!
oh, i LOVE cliff huxtable.
AND bill cosby. he’s the best.
OH. MY. GOSH. That is so funny . . . and so appropriate. I’m going to show this to my daughter as soon as she comes home. Just yesterday she told me she didn’t want to go to college–she wants to be “just a mom.” I could have squeezed HER head until her brains oozed out!
I watched the entire clip to hear that last line.
Yup, I miss him. And Balky. And ALF.
Still my favorite show of all time – they REALLY don’t make them like this anymore š Thanks for the lunchtime laugh š
Oh yes thanks for the Memories. I have used that last line many times! And we are having that “college job life” talk around here a LOT. Goodness was I that tough as a teen? WAIT Don’t answer that. And no I’m not giving you my mother’s phone number either….
Sigh. If they would make shows like that today, I would probably watch tv… and let my kids see it too. I think I’ll head on over to amazon to see if I can get the first season of that show…
I like him too. In fact just a little note here, our daughter is writing in her vote this coming November…Cosby and Robin William is the VP for her.
I have a Halloween Treat for you on My Wordless Wednesday!!!
one of my favorite tv lines EVER. We have been getting this show via the library and it’s been so much fun to watch them all with the kids.
He told it like it was way before anyone else.
I LOVE Bill Cosby! Along the lines of “I brought you into this world…” I also like, “I made you and I can make another on that looks just like you”
I miss him too. And that was my favorite episode ever. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. There is definitely no one that compares to him on tv today.
