A Very Touching Yet Funny Episode

Theo has a friend sick with cancer, one that teaches young people how to deal with the situation. Theo has a hard time with the situation, but eventually he comes around and visits his friend.

One thing about this episode is, another great example of what this show did for us in the 1980's and it should be viewed today, it breaks down racial barriers, which is one of the many reasons The Cosby Show was so relatable to us who grew up in this decade, and one of the many reasons this sitcom did so well, it taught us so much, and this episode should also be marked a classic episode as well, in the ending of the show, son in law Elvin has come over to the Huxtable home, because he is missing his wife Sondra, the eldest Huxtable daughter, she is absent in this particular episode, her character had gone off to college class reunion. Elvin immitates his father in law, and the audience goes wild with laughter because he is doing Dr. Huxtable so well, and at the end, Theo and Cliff walk in to find Elvin doing this hilarious immitation. One of the best episodes in the entire series!
