Haiku with the Hai and the ku and the putting it all together...


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.
