"The Cosby Show" spent eight seasons in one cozy New York brownstone, and you probably know that living room better than your own. TV Guide called it the biggest hit of the 1980s, built around a doctor dad, a lawyer mom, and a houseful of kids. What is the family’s last name on “The Cosby Show”?

Correct Answer: Huxtable

Let me start by apologizing to everyone in Italy who is already confused. "The Cosby Show" aired on Canale 5 dubbed as "I Robinson" because "Huxtable" doesn't roll off the tongue in Italian. Honestly, I kinda envy Italy because it's always been weird to me that no one on "The Cosby Show" actually uses the "Cosby" surname. Like, imagine if they called Lucy's character "Samantha" on "I Love Lucy." Doesn't make sense!
