"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 convinced she's in love with a classmate (Michael A. Moran).

Cliff has a nightmare in which he, Theo, Elvin (Geoffrey Owens) and Martin (Joseph C. Phillips) are all about to give birth.

Denise invites Martin's (Joseph C. Phillips) ex-wife, Paula (Victoria Rowell), for Thanksgiving.

Tempers flare when Denise's in-laws (Nancy Wilson, Moses Gunn) visit the Huxtable clan.
