Theo and Denise didn't clean up the mess because Theo said not to. He felt that if they cleaned it up, Rudy would never learn responsibility. So they just sat down and ate. When Cliff came in the kitchen, he couldn't believe his eyes. Theo: "Dad, I know what you're thinking." Cliff: "I know what I'm thinking, but I'm more interested in knowing what you think I'm thinking." T: "You're thinking we did this." Cliff: "No. I'm thinking that I can't believe that I'm watching you all have a picnic in the middle of this."

6. In the episode when Theo got his ear pierced, what color was his shirt?

Answer: Blue

It was blue with long sleeves. Theo got his ear pierced in Cockroach's garage by Cockroach's sister, Tootsie. Theo's ear ended up getting infected, so Cliff had to patch him up.

Answer: A dent and a bump

Theo ended up not shaving his head because Cockroach stopped him. Cockroach said that there was a huge crowd, and the video people only accepted the first 25 people in line.

8. Over the years, Denise sported many hairdos. In the episode when Rudy and Clarence fought, how did Denise wear her hair?

Answer: Dreadlocks

In the beginning episodes of the sixth season, Denise wore dreadlocks. As the season progressed, she wore it differently. She wore her hair in knots, she wore it short and curly, and in a straight bob. She wore it long and curly in the third season.

9. When the Huxtables found out they were invited to Stevie Wonder's recording session, they were so excited, each broke out into a Stevie Wonder song. What song did Cliff sing?

Answer: "Living For The City"

To hide his excitement, Cliff waited to sing after everyone left the room. Clair sang "Isn't She Lovely," and Theo and Denise sang "I Just Called To Say I Love You." Stevie Wonder let each family member record a word, phrase, or sound on his album. Cliff had to leave the session early because he had to deliver a baby. Stevie recorded him saying "Baby, baby." That is one of my favorite episodes!

Tatyana M. Ali was one of Rudy's friends in the episode when Rudy and her crush, Clarence, fought. It was Rudy and the girls vs. Clarence and the boys. The girls followed the boys to the mall just so they could find them, then ignore them. Cliff referred to Rudy and her friends as The Chiffons. Essence Atkins was one of Vanessa's friends in the episode when Vanessa and her friends got drunk.
