Cliff/Claire Huxtable
Least busy power couple?
They were always home
I think this bears more than just a haiku treatment. Seriously, she was a lawyer. He was an obstetrician. And they were presumably good ones because they put at least two kids through college, and tried to put a third (again, at the least) through. Not to mention their very nice town home in what I thought might the Upper East Side, but upon further research turns out to be Brooklyn. A nice place nonethless. But they were aaallways home, weren't they? Not to mention I think I remember maybe TWICE in the entire run of The Cosby Show that Cliff was called away to do an emergency delivery. Like babies are born on his schedule or something. And it was mentioned quite often that Claire's law firm was quite prestigious.
They were seriously the least busy power couple in entertainment history. It made for good television that opened a lot of doors, but sometimes the general conceit that they ask us to suspend our disbelief for is ca-ray-zee.
Hey Bart,
ReplyDeleteGet what you mean, though I've never seen the show, just heard about it and stuff.
Cheers for the comment you left, and I had a quick read of your recent posts and haikus, and added you to my blogs of interest so that means I'll deffo be back...though I have to admit it was partly because the fact you have a CSI haiku made me grin so much, but I also like the haiku style - it's cool and different, anyway bye

Consider yourself linked back, because that's how I roll. We's gots to stick together, yo.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like the haiku style. I like writing them.
This is probably a great post but when I see that expression on Cosby's face, all I hear is JELLO PUDDING.
ReplyDeleteThe Jello and the pudding and the Pudding Pop, oh boy.
ReplyDeleteI agree and this is true of almost all the situation comedies. How do you feel about Andy of Mayberry using the squad car for personal business?
ReplyDeleteI see cops in my neck of the woods do it all the time (which isn't rural by any stretch), and plus, Mayberry's a small town. That's probably a perk, especially in those days, for the sheriff to treat the squad car like it was assigned to him period.
ReplyDeleteI was hooked on The Cosby Show at one point, dont know why. But your right, the parents were always home. If the wife went anywhere it was shoppin!
ReplyDeleteI would have hated it if these two were my parents! How would i ever sneak a girl over?
Couldnt even burn a piece pf bread in the toasters without them knowing!
It was all about Different Stokes! Did Willis ever get jiggy with the white girl? (I forget her name)
