There's no way the Huxtables could afford that Brownstone IMO.


Cliff was an OB/GYN and Claire was a trial lawyer.

One of my parents friends was a New Orleans attorney doing well but not great until he settled a dozen or so suits resulting from a plane crash in the late 80's. Instantly retired from practicing law. The average salary stat isn't all that relevant.

you're using 2011 salaries, 2007 home prices, CA as a whole and not LA. Your stats are just all over the place.

Not to mention that someone banking even 200K should easily be able to afford a mortgage for a couple-million-dollar house. Dude is acting like Uncle Phil had to pay cash for it.

Jeeze, you learn something new every day and I thought I knew pretty much everything about this show. They always made a big deal out of Princeton but I don't ever remember them even mentioning Harvard. Hell, they spent a whole season with Carlton trying to get into Princeton. My bad dogg.

I've always wondered, if Uncle Phil met Carl Winslow in a seedy pool hall, who wins? Or does Estelle just show up and dominate everyone?

This one time, on a vacation to cali, i was in the car from LAX to my hotel, we pulled up at a stoplight and I saw Uncle Phil next to us in a black benz. It was awesome.
