I actually sat in the audience for a taping of the Tempestt show one day in HS when I felt like avoiding basketball practice. It was funny...and about as fake as a talk show could be.

Did the guys who handled the set scaffolding yawn throughout?

There should be a day where no one is allowed to post anything other than Cosby-related posts.

― Lars and Jagger (Ex Leon), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 17:35 (7 years ago) Permalink

Eurgh, unfortunately the first image that came to mind was that stupid Cosby clone cartoon.

Nobody ever answered Sinker's question concerning SANDRA LEBOUEF.

It's French for "Sandy The Beef!"

I was always so baffled by her when she first came on the show, because I thought she was white and figured she was adopted or something but Cliff and Clair just didn't want to make an issue out of it.

I Was baffled by her because in the pilot episode they make mention of how they have four children, and then all of a sudden mid-season they magically generated a older light-skinned Princeton student who was retconned into the family; I kept expecting The Watcher to burst in and shout "THIS SHOULD NOT BE".

That too! I figured they didn't count her as one of their children because she was adopted though! It was weird the way she suddenly turned up out of nowhere.

I was gonna post something Dave-like, but I can't follow that.

Now let's see if anyone can name any of the following actors from memory:

- Elvin
- Elvin's parents
- Cliff's mom
- Kenny and Peter
- Theo's NYU friends (including the one with a similarly trapezoidal haircut)
- Guy who ran the community center (season 1)
- Martin's ex-wife (Olivia's mother)
- Winnie and Nelson
- The friends Rudy went to the underage club on 14th street with, and the friends of Pam's (including Charlene) who followed them
- etc.

I don't even know the guy who played Cockroach's name!

― Lars and Jagger (Ex Leon), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 18:55 (7 years ago) Permalink

Dammit I already relinquished my black card, don't rub it in my face!

(One of Theo's high school friends was Adam Sandler and that's all I remember.)

what a long strange trip it's been

― strongo hulkington's ghost (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 18:56 (7 years ago) Permalink

Also Nicole you may be forgetting all the light-skinned action running on Claire's side of the family -- remember her parents? Same goes for Olivia, actually.

HEY: does anyone remember the name of the college maintenance guy that Vanessa was engaged to?

― nabisco (nabisco), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 18:57 (7 years ago) Permalink

Also I totally fucked up earlier: Sandra's name was SABRINA LeBoeuf.

Rocky Carroll, you are missed.

We are so totally not veering off into Roc, dude.

For the record, I checked, and Vanessa's fiance was named Dabnis. I had forgotten that. Dabnis. Cliff gave him the whole speech about how he was like a steak on a piece of cardboard.

― nabisco (nabisco), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 19:04 (7 years ago) Permalink

I am going to have six kids, and name them all Dabnis.

I'm trying to imagine the psychosis that causes you to think that fucking someone named Dabnis would be meet and right so to do.

― Dan (I Blame The Writers' Wish-Fulfillment Fantasies) Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 19:09 (7 years ago) Permalink

i kind of imagine the writers recieving nbc's diktat that the idea of an upper-middle-class black family with a doctor and a lawyer and well-behaved kids was too unbelievable and wholesome and then proceeded to add one wtf thing after another. "i know, let's have vanessa marry a 40-year-old maintenance man named...wait for it..dabnis."
