Editorial Review:
The Huxtables are back! One of the most popular shows in the history of television is now available in one amazing box set. Relive all your favorite moments from the show that TV Guide says, almost single-handedly revived the sitcom. The Cosby Show regularly appears in lists of the greatest shows of all time, yet it remains as vibrant today as one of Cliff Huxtable s sweaters! From their brownstone in Brooklyn, Cliff and Clair Huxtable watched over their family with style, wit and wisdom, not to mention a whole lot of laughs. The values they represented clearly struck a nerve with the public as the show was an instant success never out of the top 20 in ratings, and one of only two shows to hold TV s #1 spot for five years in a row. The new collection brings together every original network episode for its legendary eight-year run. Take a look back at the stellar cast along with the many all-star guest appearances Stevie wonder, Sammy Davis, Jr., Betty Carter, B.B. King, Adam Sandler and many more. Also, recorded just for this collection is an exclusive brand-new, never-aired Bill Cosby interview, covering everything from his favorite memories and the lasting legacy of The Cosby Show.
The Cosby Show: The Complete Series (25th Anniversary Commemorative Edition) Reviews:
BUYER BEWARE: EVERY PROSPECTIVE BUYER, PLEASE READ BEFORE BUYING!!! 
2009-11-11 - The Cosby Show: 25th Anniversary Commemorative Edition
BUYER BEWARE: Obviously a fantastic show, but the way in which this product is manufactured and packaged results in problems for the end user (consumer). Be advised that each DVD is not suspended in its own circular, plastic tray, as is typical of discs. Rather, the entire collection is stored in books made of thick, white cardstock that is coated with the various graphics (or printed onto) for marketing. Each page of the DVD storage books contains two horizontal slits where the bare discs are inserted halfway, thus leaving them 50% exposed to the eye when the book is opened. Particles from the graphics that are printed onto each page flake off of the edges of the slits during transit. These particles then stick to the backs of the bare discs and, as slippage occurs, it causes scratches on the backs of the discs, which is severe in some cases. All of this occurs while the contents remain sealed and unopened. I played the first disc of Season 2, and it was severely scratched. These scratches had caused the disc to become unplayable. AND IT IS BRAND NEW!!!
The Cosby Show 
2009-10-23 - With the English subtitles, my family and I enjoy the Cosby Show even better.
It was a great buy. My children have been watching them over and over again.
Thanks a lot!!
Great Family Fare 
2009-09-14 - As I recalled, this series presents positive ways to address (American) family problems and concerns, with thought and humor. Also great guests throughout with a bit-o-history thrown in.
Great Show!
2009-09-13 - I have really enjoyed this box set. In a time when every channel is a reality dating show it has been nice to just pop this in and enjoy shows I use to watch when I was a child with my parents. It has been a great addition to our DVD collection.
FABULOUS!!!
2009-09-08 - I had purchased the first season of "The Cosby" show for my grand kids. They loved it so much they watched it over and over until they knew all the lines. When I saw that all 8 seasons was available I knew I had to get it for them. They enjoy the collection so very much and was excited to receive it. I highly recommend this classic for all ages. It does my heart good that there is entertainment out there that is clean, loving, funny and family oriented. Than you Mr. Cosby, you are FABULOUS!
