When I was a senior in college, my roommates and I would amuse ourselves by reading plot synopses for "The Cosby Show" on our TV's digital guide. We just could not get enough of them. If that strikes you as a strange pastime for three young men in the prime of their youths then I am guessing you've never pondered the absurdity of the following episode descriptions:
• Cliff forces the entire family to hold a funeral for Rudy's dead goldfish, Lamont.
• Clair sues a mechanic who performed work on Sondra's car; Rudy does not want to go to the museum; Cliff teaches the kids how to do household chores and also cooks a soup with a cow's tongue.
• Sondra and Elvin break up - again!
• Theo and Cockroach decide to listen to a recording of "Macbeth" instead of reading the play; Cliff picks a snowball fight with the neighborhood children.
• Everybody loses when Vanessa and her friends play a drinking game at an unsupervised get-together.
And who could forget the classic episode entitled, "Cliff Teaches Dan Everything He Needs to Know About Parenting"?

I have to say that for me, this episode really begs the question: When, in recent memory, did an apartment in Manhattan ever cost $400/month???
What was the summary for the one where Theo and Vanessa got into a car accident with Stevie Wonder and then the whole family got to go to the recording studio and Rudy said "Bay-BAY?" and Theo said "Jammin on the ones."
That was a good one.
Theo and cockroach go to barbecues at both their parents' houses. Guest star Tito Puente
