Harriet, aunt Vivian, and Clair Are the aunts and mothers that You would've loved to have in your Family period. The girls and young Women wouldn't even dare come to your house disrespectfully lol
Hol' up y'all, we talm bout The OG, Triple OG, OG Triple Triple Aunt Vivian😂💯🙌...(No disrespect to 2nd Mrs.Vivian) but she was whack. Jokes were hella dry and served NO TYPE of purpose as their mom nor Auntie Viv. Janet Hubert had the sassiest attitude and made it look fun to be a Aunt
To this day, she can still quote that at the same speed. I saw her do it in a recent interview where the host asked her about this episode, and they did a split screen of this with her, live. She's quite a woman!
@Aaralyn Williams It was something here on TH-cam. I have to take my pre-work nap since I work overnight. Maybe if I get a chance I can look for it again. But she was saying that line to the interviewer while they pulled up this original episode at the same time for comparison on the split screen. It was exact!
When a black woman starts at lemme tell you sumthin...KNOW the read is around the bend!!😂😂😂 A class act through it all. So glad this was the standard when I was growing up and not this Basketball bird bull!
AaaaaMEN Chile!!!! Coz I promise; I feel for these young folk who don’t have or didn’t “experience” THIS example! They don’t believe that they missed out on anything....And I guess they would think that, Right? So many things, so many things🤦🏾♀️
Claire: ..."and if you don't get it together and drop this macho attitude. You are never gonna have anybody bringing you anything, anywhere, anyplace, anytime EVER!! 😃 😅🤣😂
They won't give an Emmy to a character representing an educated, married, successful black woman and man together💯 This is America, where if it ain't white, it ain't right🤣
@@medylemaproductions Very true! Sometimes, if not mostly, it’s the guy that feels like “less than a man” or has trouble attracting a woman, that develops a hatred of women.
Sam Brooks i love phylicia rashad but i love bernadette (jj sister on good times) more she would read her to filth do you agree? Bernadette was more sassier!!!
This is one of the most iconic black comedy shows that was ever created. It shows love power success in a black family with two parents and loving grandparents on both sides. Some people seem to think that there's no black families like this but there is a lot of black families like this. I still love watching the show It is so great. And let me tell you one thing Do not mess with Claire Huxtable Aunt Viv ,Aunt Helen, Harriet .... And let's not forget the mother s on Moesha, Everybody Hates Chris, 227,Whats Happening,Good Times.... And I always loved the girls' mothers on Living Single ... wonderful Roles . ❤️❤️❤️I miss those days in Tv.
Claire Huxtable--Power and Strong yet Feminine. Self-confident/Assertive yet Humble Educated/Credentialed/Confident yet a great Partner & Wife. Compassionate and Gorgeous yet held her own. A Perfect Example of not being Either/Or but Being Both/And.
I love the way she says, "Now, what would you like in your coffee?" Her expression and her tone are just like Denise's when Denise says something sarcastic.
This show was ON ANTOHER LEVEL in the '80s. There was no other sitcom at the time coming close to the comedy, satire, humor, realism, this show presented on TV. I can see why it was Number 1 in the ratings for multiple years. The writing and the development of the characters and also the acting and delivery still doesn't get its proper credit for how well-delivered it was.

😂😂😂
RIGHT!!!🤣🤣🤣
In original after Clair say that cliff looks at Alvin and say if I was you I wouldn’t drink LOL hilarious moment
😂😂
Cliff's character was a beta male on this show.
Phylicia Rashād is one of the most beautiful women who ever lived. She also has such a wonderful speaking voice.
She’s still alive...
Just like her real life sister Debbie Allen
She is sooooo beautiful. So regal.
She’s attractive, but not in a beautiful way, more of a confident, know who I am way.
Perfect woman x
the Original Queen of Reads
IDK..Julia Sugarbaker gave it good too! RIP
If Claire was in the music business instead of legal. She could of drop by as a guess on The Legends Panel on You Tube. And do her reads on there.😁

Who is Harriet?
@@CC-si3cr the mother on family matters. She had a strong solid character too.
@@jaialdrich1331 that's the only aunt Vivian I know I stopped watching it after she left.

"Let me tell ya somethin, Melvin."
His name is Elvin
And I thought all along it was Alvin O_o
You know it was about to go down when she said that.
*tell _you_ something
Elvin Tibideaux
Lord! Can she be anymore gorgeous? I remember this like it was on air yesterday :-)
Not sure if "Alpha female" is an official term.. but she would be the example! She is awesome in every way.
Me too! Watched this all the time as a family.
She still looks the same.
@@toptenguy1 she, Janet Hubert as Aunt Vivian and Jo Marie Payton as Harriette Winslow were our QUEENS
ALL HER LIFE GORGEOUS!!!

Regardless of what he did. This show is still and forever will be iconic!

Please say it louder for the people in the back!! Timeless 👏🏽👏🏽
couldn't agree more

Yes she most CERTAINLY is! An Amazing Sista!

I’d love to see that. I’m gonna search for it
@@lisaallen9578 Good! My reaction was "HOW can she REMEMBER that?!?! And so FAST!" It's amazing how actors can remember some lines decades later
She said she wasn't going to serve him... but boy did he get served.
Cliff: When she brings the coffee back, if I were you, I wouldn't drink it.

These are the shows that we miss. 🙂💕

Claire Huxtable she was so in tune with that character.
Julia Sugarbaker, Aunt Viv, and Claire Huxtable...all GREAT tv mom's that did not take any mess!
Florida Evans
@@JasonWalkerJamaica Well, since you want to dig deep: Mabel Thomas (What's Happening).
@@CC-si3cr yaaaaas!
Omg, also Harriet Winslow. She didn’t take no crap but she loved all her kids. Even Urkel lol
Yeees! Marla Gibbs, “227” Had to look up J. Shugarbaker.....I know the actress but not in the role as a strong Mother figure?🤷🏾♀️
As soon as Bill started walking to sit down, he knew what was going to happen and decide to clear a path for that onslaught
Cliff puts hand over his eyes: oh god. Clair please don't kill him the carpet isn't scotchgaurded
🤣😂🤣
🤣😂💀
I love the line that comes after from Cliff: "Alvin. When she brings the coffee back. I wouldn't drink it..."
M Dolinski His name is Elvin.
@@courylanders4142 my apologies.
@@mdolinski4926 No problem.
@@courylanders4142
I always thought it was 'Alvin'.
Shows what I know... lol.
Elvin should've told Claire not to drink anything that Cliff/Bill gives her, she may black out like many of his victims.
Claire: ..."and if you don't get it together and drop this macho attitude. You are never gonna have anybody bringing you anything, anywhere, anyplace, anytime EVER!! 😃 😅🤣😂
I still fall out to this day with that read💯🤣🤦🏾♂️
Can't nobody get you all the way together like Claire Huxtable.
I mean, ALL the way!😆✌🏾
“...and drop these macho attitudes” 😩😂 “what would you like in your coffee?” ☺️☺️
As I remember it, he answered 'Maybe I should get you some coffee.'
He got smarter very quickly.
In real life, she pulls his card if he isn't macho enough...
@@mayjahkey Now what makes you think that?
Cliff acted how my man acts when I'm about to open the library to the public. 😂😂😂
Sis; did you say “Open the library to the Public!”😆😆😆😆🙌🏾 OKAAAAY!
what does that mean?
@@learntospellpeople it means she is about to READ someone or tear in to someone.
I'm gonna start saying this 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m stealing this lol
Cliff: Ahhh you poor fool, you have chosen death
Any time Clair started a sentence with "Let me tell you something...", you better strap in, because you are about to get schooled, lol!
"Let me tell you something Alvin" and the look on her face....gets me every time
That’s why I loved Claire. She could drop that knowledge and lay down the law without yelling. She was pure class!
I love how she went from lady like to fierce then back to lady like in less than 2 minutes.
He, he, there she is, the Queen herself, Claire Huxtable, she is a legend here in Afrika, every woman aspired to be her. Us men also revered her.
That’s SO great to hear! I wish her #example could be bottled up and FORCE-FED to many of my Sisters!
She will read you for filth with so much class not using one curse word,gotta love it
This READ still goes hard in 2021🤣
😊 for some reason see Nancy Wilson... when she was telling him off , it was like she was singing jazz like Nancy LoL
I love the end where Dr. Huxtable says, "If I were you when she brings you that coffee. I wouldn't drink it."
And yet she didn't get an emmy or golden globe for this character.
Doesn't that just seem ridiculous? Like how is that even possible 😕 🤷🏾♀️
See...
That’s not fair she didn’t get an Emmy.
She was really good.
Exactly
They won't give an Emmy to a character representing an educated, married, successful black woman and man together💯
This is America, where if it ain't white, it ain't right🤣
When Cliff covered his face, he knew he was finna get it.
Even at age 10 when these first aired in 1985 I knew what Elvin was spouting was off-the-wall. Crazy that this attitude never dies.
Elvin is the strangest choice for a chauvinist. He comes across as a sensitive, sweet guy and he marries Sandra who is very headstrong!
don't let any looks fool you
@@medylemaproductions Very true! Sometimes, if not mostly, it’s the guy that feels like “less than a man” or has trouble attracting a woman, that develops a hatred of women.
Claire Huxtable was the most savage tv mom eva....
When Claire says, Let me tell you something, you better get out the aloe vera ointment, 'cause somebody's gonna get BURNED!
What she said: "let me tell you something Elvin."
What I heard: "listen here lil niglet."
"Lemme tell you something Alvin"
(The world ended right here) 🤣
Classiest woman ever
And the Doc sat down as he shouldve because HE KNEW it was about to go doooown lol 😂😂😂
I was in my teens when this aired but even then I was thinking, "Run you fool! Run!"
2021.. still come back to see this! Oh and of course when her girl when to have " BIG FUN " with the Wretches!
My favorite episode 🤩
STILL ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHOWS EVER!!!! Bring it BACK!!!
Big love for the Allen sisters. Love them both.
I felt this in my spirit 👏🏾
She is STILL fine! It's like she does t age man
I like how she sweetly said " Now what would you like in your coffee!" 😂😂😂😂😂
I think a lot of people missed this episode. Give and take people!
Men today don’t understand what Claire huxtable even meant- they don’t want to do 50 50 period. 😞
This show had so many wonderful examples. It's a shame about the behind the scenes disgrace. I wish kids today had tv role models like Clair
i actually grew up with a Claire Huxtable in my family. She played NO games. 😆
My “Claire Huxtable” wasn’t havin it either! Although the “reads” were oftentimes a lot louder.😆😆
I remember this like it was yesterday, all time favorite
Say what you want about Bill Cosby but the show was brilliant
Elvin really put his foot in his mouth....
How in the world did Elvin end up with Sondra? That chick was such an uber feminist she made Gloria Steinem look like Edith Bunker!
It was in the script. 😂
LOL at Cliff finding a seat
Sam Brooks i love phylicia rashad but i love bernadette (jj sister on good times) more she would read her to filth do you agree? Bernadette was more sassier!!!
She was so great in that role!😁
she left him HAVE IT
Slov Suarez she was being nice
This is a timeless gem. It was flawless when it was new and truly stands the test of time.
She was beyond gorgeous
Wow she read him in a real classy way I love it!
Now, what would you like in your coffee?? #shereads
I would reply "Mercy and forgiveness" LOL

Lol I loved this! And the caption made me laugh so hard
She ate those lines... This never gets old 80’s baby
This show was ahead of its time.
Read him for FILTH with tact and class. Iconic!
She was the best part of that show
I LOVE HER!!! I love Clair Huxtable for this read!
Claire Huxtable--Power and Strong yet Feminine.
Self-confident/Assertive yet Humble
Educated/Credentialed/Confident yet a great Partner & Wife.
Compassionate and Gorgeous yet held her own.
A Perfect Example of not being Either/Or but Being Both/And.
Heathcliff never stepped out of line with Claire. I don't ever remember an episode where he tried to "get her together"
He knew better
She told him!😂😂😂😂
When an ace is served and all you can do is watch the ball fly past you without moving!
The only reason to watch this show was the Mother, she brought a whole new dimension to a classy, sophisticated black woman.
I love the way she says, "Now, what would you like in your coffee?" Her expression and her tone are just like Denise's when Denise says something sarcastic.
The biggest read of Claire Huxtable is the read of Vanessa when she lied about where she was going
Hottest TV mom of all time! She read him without a second thought. He didn't see it coming. Crushed it every time. Killing him softly.
One of my favorite clips! Remember it so well!
I saw her on This is Us and she was amazing and still gorgeous...I hope she is a regular on This is Us
If we could rerelease this show with Denzel Washington photoshopped over Bill Cosby, would anyone else appreciate that?
I watched this show for Claire. I wanted her to be my mother.
Ok....maybe I had a crush on Theo too
She is definitely one of the people I looked up to when I was a kid watching this show.
Soft spoken, gorgeous, sharp as a tack!
SLAYYY!!
This is what made this show the best.
She was so pretty and classy
Classic ANNIHILATION!!!🤣🤣🤣
Love her!! 😂😂
The best TV mom ever.
Claire was the queen of reads!
She also serves Artist Formerly Known as Prince level side eye.. Claire is just everything!!!
The read and then the smile 😂😂😂

From the UK Friday nights 9pm on Ch4 in the 80's.
Great show in its day, as an 80's kid I never missed it.
I remember this episode when it came on. I looked up to her to her so much. Such a lady. Sassy,....classy.....
Still one of my favorite scenes
