"The Cosby Show" centers on the lives of the Huxtables: obstetrician Cliff and his lawyer wife Claire, their daughters Sondra, Denise, Vanessa and Rudy, and son Theo. Based on the standup comedy of Bill Cosby, the show focused on his observations of family life. Although based on comedy, the series also addresses some more serious topics, such as learning disabilities and teen pregnancy.

Rudy is not looking forward to the first day of sixth grade; Vanessa goes off to college.

Cliff's plans to bid on a rare jazz album are sidetracked by "parental" duties.

Theo wants to throw a belated bachelor party for Martin (Joseph C. Phillips) -- complete with a female stripper.

Clair's second cousin Pam (Erika Alexander) becomes the newest member of the Huxtable household.
