Summary

Alicia kicks off her exploration of Sitcom Moms with one of the greats of the genre! In the mid-1980s, Phylicia Rashad became America's favorite mom and wife with her portrayal of Clair Huxtable on the smash hit, The Cosby Show. In her real life, however, domesticity was a harder slog, and even included a few years married to one of the Village People! Want early, ad-free episodes, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?
