I liked it better than The Cosby show, to be honest.

Loved this show and how amazing the shows transformation after that terrible season one is a sight to behold. I loved the characters and the show would have jokes that would send me in stitches. Also, that theme song by Aretha Franklin for S2-S5 DESERVES to be on the best theme song of all time list.
