The Huxtable family would originally consisted of mother, father, two sons and two daughters. The youngest daughter, Rudy would actually be a boy, but because there are no suitable boy found was, it was a girl (Keshia Knight Pulliam).

In the beginning of season 1, there were only 4 kids see, the oldest daughter Sondra (Sabrina Le Beauf), was only to see after the first half of season 1. Though she was in the first episodes called the eldest daughter who was at University. Sondra was created by Bill Cosby, he was keen that the show was an example of how to make a child successfully educates.

Cosby had an unusually large freedom in shaping the show. He wanted to make his program educational. In addition, he stood out that would find the recordings in New York instead of in Los Angeles, which usually was the fixed location for television.
