    THEO HAS BECOME A LEECH!

    Cliff is already paying all Theo's expenses, and yet he is always showing up at home. Theo is lucky that his dad continues to pay for his share of the apartment, after the stunt Theo pulled moving in with his girlfriend without his folks' knowledge and literally stealing from Cliff! He needs to grow up and stop using his folks every chance he gets, for free meals, helping himself to some of the Huxtable furnishings, and getting money from his dad and mom nonstop! He has become pathetic, and needs to start standing on his own! The storylines of the show are becoming less interesting than the first 5 seasons.

    • Quotes

      Denise: Olivia what are you doing? You know you're not supposed to touch any machines in this house. Now why did you put your crayons in the washer with Theo's pants?

      Olivia Kendall: Because the label on the crayon said "washable".

      Denise: Olivia sweetheart that means you can wash it off of the walls, your skin or your clothes.

      Olivia Kendall: I wish someone had told me that.
