The Cosby Show - The Complete Series

The Cosby Show is one of America's best-loved television series ever, known for its heartwarming portrayal of an upper-middle-class African American family. The show originally aired from 1984 to 1992 and became a cultural phenomenon during its time. Following the story of the lovable, large Huxtable family, the series welcomes us into the home and lives of Cliff, Clair, Sondra, Denise, Theo, Vanessa, and Rudy. Each character brings a unique perspective and depth to the series, making it relatable to a diverse audience.

Cliff Huxtable, played by Bill Cosby, is an obstetrician whose warmth, humor, and wisdom serve as the backbone of the family. His episodes often involve comedic yet insightful insights into parenting, marrying humor with valuable life lessons. His wife, Clair Huxtable, portrayed by Phylicia Rashad, is a successful lawyer who embodies strength and intelligence, balancing her career with her role as a loving mother. Together, they navigate the complexities of family life while instilling strong morals and values in their children.

The show features their five children, each with distinct personalities:

Sondra - The eldest daughter, who often challenges her parents' views with her independence and ambition.

Denise - The free-spirited second daughter, known for her creativity and occasional rebellious nature.

Theo - The only son, who often finds himself in humorous situations as he navigates adolescence and the challenges of school.

Vanessa - The stylish and social third daughter, who often gets into trouble with her friends, presenting relatable teen dilemmas.

Rudy - The youngest daughter, whose innocence and charm add a humorous touch to the family dynamics.

Later seasons introduced the irrepressible Olivia (played by Raven-Symoné in her TV debut), adding an extra layer of charm and youthful energy to the storyline. Her character often provided a fresh perspective and comedic relief, highlighting the unique challenges of growing up in the Huxtable household.

The show's success was due in part to its ability to tackle important social issues while maintaining a light-hearted and comedic tone. Topics such as education, race, cultural identity, and family dynamics were addressed without alienating viewers, making the show both entertaining and thought-provoking.

Additionally, The Cosby Show garnered numerous accolades during its run, including multiple Emmy Awards and a spot as one of the most-watched shows in American television history. Its impact on the representation of African American families in media is still felt today. The show set a precedent for future sitcoms, influencing how families are portrayed on screen and opening doors for more diverse narratives in television.

In conclusion, The Cosby Show remains a significant part of television history. Its blend of humor, family values, and social commentary continues to resonate, making it a cherished series for viewers of all generations.

For DVD Player (North American NTSC)

WHAT YOU GET:

This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.

IMAGES:

All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.

COMPATIBILITY:

Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.

PLATFORM:

Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.

64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.

Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.

MEDIA FORMAT:

Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:

  • Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
  • Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
  • Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.


  • SHIPPING:

    We typically ship all items out within 1-2 business days after payment is received. In regards to the stated shipping and handling, remember that these costs include more than just postage.

    International buyers please email/chat with us to determine if you are eligible for shipping of a specific product. If you are, then international buyers not shipping to an address within the U.S. can expect their orders to take anywhere from 5 days to 4 weeks to be received, depending on how fast/well USPS is moving. Additionally, international orders typically have to go through governmental customs, which can delay the arrival process. Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to buying. Customs fees are normally charged by the shipping company or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are not additional shipping charges.
