Answer: False

Only Denise and Sondra got married. Vanessa was only engaged for a short period of time to a man named Dabnis. Denise married Martin Kendall, who had a daughter, Olivia, from his previous marriage. At the end of the series, in the last episode, Denise called from Singapore (where Martin was based at in the Navy right then) and informed the family that she was pregnant. Sondra married Elvin, and they had twins, a boy and a girl.

The twins were named Winnie and Nelson.

5. Where did Sondra announce that she wanted to spend her summer during the first season?

Answer: Paris

Sondra announced during the first season that she would like to spend the summer in Paris, France with her friends. This episode was also the first episode that Sondra appeared in. Cliff didn't love the idea of Sondra going to Paris, but after some persuasion, he decided to let her go.

6. What was the name of Olivia Kendall's real mother?

In the sixth season of the show, Denise decided to invite Paula over to the Huxtable house for Thanksgiving dinner. This was, of course, after she and Martin had gotten married. Besides that, Olivia's mother wasn't mentioned a whole lot.

8. In the second season, Vanessa held a party. What holiday was this party centered around?

Answer: Halloween

At this party, Vanessa accidentally dropped a tray of glasses on the floor in front of Robert, a boy she really liked. This made Vanessa very upset. Clair eventually cheered her up by telling Vanessa some stories of her own about the same kind of thing.

9. What instrument did Cliff's father, Russell, play in a jazz band?

Answer: Trombone

Russell was part of a jazz band when he was younger, in which he was a trombonist. His nickname was "Slide" Huxtable. Russell plays the trombone for everyone in a couple different episodes.

10. What animal did Vanessa repeatedly ask for and want during the first season?

Answer: Dog

Vanessa always asked for a dog in every opportunity she got. She once said that because of getting shampoo in her eyes, Rudy might be blinded for life. She then said to Cliff, "If she is, can we get a dog?"
