3. There were originally only four Huxtable children

Eventually five Huxtable children are introduced but the show was only written to have four. They later added in Sondra, an older sister who was away going to school at Princeton to demonstrate what good parenting could accomplish. True to life, however, not all the other siblings followed suit with academic prowess. Bill Cosby himself had four daughters and a son, so he was able to mine his own family hijinx for comedic material for the show.
