Cosby Show, Season 1, Jitterbug Break Clip

DENISE HAS A DANCE PARTY AND THE "OLD FOLKS" SHOW THEM WHAT'S UP! LOL featuring a young Blair Underwood!

[@freebirdallen]

One of the reasons that The Cosby Show was so great because people could see a well to do Black family on a major network & no stereotype bs.

[@BBFLYRISEN]

It’s sad when we think having both parents in the home raising kids in a NORMAL way is well to do. 💪🏿

[@sheephurder]

It may be said, but unfortunately it's true seventy five percent of black house don't have a father in the house who's to blame ? democrats AND the mothers for preferring "free" shit and the fathers who accepted that shit.PERIOD​@BBFLYRISEN

[@freebirdallen]

@@sheephurderAnother thing is The Cosby Show did was to stand up against racists like you. No one ever complains about single parent households except when it comes Black people.

[@peaches1017]

The neighborhood I grew up in most had two parent homes. This was in the 70s, 80s, until the present day. You all will believe any lie the media tells you.

Best show of the 80's for me.🌺

The lady is Judith Jamison. She was a principal ballet dancer with the Alvin Ailey Dance Theater of Harlem. An amazing ballerina.

The older lady in red was very poised, elegant and graceful.

[@lynetteclay]

I had the same thought. Just elegant and graceful!

[@dem20233]

We don't get too many of that anymore

[@invitesbydani]

She's actually only 41 years old in this clip. Compare that to... say... Katie Holmes today that is 43. She actually wasn't that old. The style of her clothes, the era and her hair makes her seem like an "older lady". But she's fairly young.

[@dem20233]

@@invitesbydani age is nothing but a number. As long as they take care of themselves, that's all that matters. I'm not worried about age.

Carla Linton. I love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ The Cosby Show. It is one of my favorite Comedy Shows of The 80s.

[@justaylor1269]

I was 12yo this 1st season of the show Thursday night the Cosby night (my parents & my two bros) set in front of out living room tv with popcorn as a family to watch it❤ Every body watch Cosby on Thursday & at work/school ppl talk about it Friday. ❤

I'll always love The Cosby Show and this fantastic clip was one of many! It still makes me laugh!!

[@Me-od6nt]

Thanks for uploading. Loved this show so much back in the day and, viewing this, it's not hard to remember why

My kind of party where everybody's having fun

[@JET1970]

Young people could never out dance old people

[@jenniferfields7113]

Who said that . I know what dance I wouldn't do . The swing dance lol

[@judychang8760]

Well, yeah they can, but that's only because with new generations, bring new dances. A 65 year old can't do acrobatic stuff like an 18 year old can. Perhaps once upon a time they could. I could dance exactly like that young guy in this clip when I was 10. Now, at damn near 50, I'd break my damn back, neck, legs, etc.

[@freda0723]

Never understood why he had to kiss her in the mouth

[@ADayInLisasLife3947]

if you are talking about Denise, he didn't kiss her in the mouth. He gave her a very short peck on the lips; it probably wasn't even two seconds. My dad used to give me the same type of kiss when I came home for visits and left again. With this scene, I could imagine the feelings conveyed by her "dad" were he loved her, was proud of her, was enjoying watching her grow up, was glad she felt comfortable bringing her friends around, she was beautiful, etc.

[@pn6528]

It was a sweet daddy/ daughter kiss. Nothing offensive about it. Relax.❤

[@freda0723]

@@pn6528 but not necessary when acting. Shes the only daughter I saw him do that with. And she was a teenager, not a little girl. I'm not accusing him of anything, but it was certainly a scene I was uncomfortable with

@@freda0723 so the fact that your mind brought it up doesn't say anything? How do you know it wasn't in the script? Actors play what they are given.

Not only TV one but on the bounce network as well & the president of Bounce network was the 1st to bring The Cosby Show back, the founder of the network..." Bill Cosby is Not Dr Heathcliff Huxtable, therefore this show is a great example of black families..we want the young generation of African Americans to see that you can be whatever you choose" Bounce was 1st to bring Cosby back (they also play A Different World as well) I'm also glad to see his most of this on tv family stood by Mr Cosby side ..
