Once again, I'm forced to find an episode of The Cosby Show, the number-one show on TV for 1986, mind you, on someone's Facebook video post.
I won't bother repeating all of the same things that I've already written about what it feels like to watch Cosby, but rest assured that the strange mixture of so many elements - nostalgia, general creepiness, not to mention the odd places I've found the episodes - holds true for today and will for the next three weeks, too.
Now, interestingly, this episode featured something of a day off for most of the cast, excepting Pulliam as Rudy. She accompanies her friend to the dentist because he's super nervous, which may or may not be alleviated by Danny Kaye being the dentist. He hams it up, wins Peter over, and generally saves the day ... in his last credited role before passing away the following year.
It was old-school comedy chops featured in what is now an old-school sitcom.
