In the 1980s, "The Cosby Show" owned Thursday nights. A big part of the show's success was the crew of kids who populated Heathcliff Huxtable's household. Now with one of the Cosby alum developing a reality show, we thought it high time for a Web check-in on all the kids...and man, there were a lot of 'em. Here they are, ranked in order of Search popularity.
Keshia Knight Pulliam (Rudy)Ms. Knight Pulliam played the youngest (for a time), Rudy. She's back in the public eye thanks to her role in Tyler Perry's latest flick and her new reality show, "Keshia and Kaseem." The program, airing on Oxygen, will follow the lives of the actress and her live-in boyfriend, entrepreneur Kaseem Penn. Search interest in the show is high (for now).
Raven-Symoné (Olivia)Raven-Symoné was the new cute kid who the producers brought in when Rudy reached her awkward tween phase. Of all the kids, she's had the biggest post-Cosby career, starring in numerous films and her own TV show: "That's So Raven." Popular related searches include "raven-symone photos" and...wait for it..."that's so raven videogames."
Lisa Bonet (Denise)She hasn't starred in anything "big" for a while, but Ms. Bonet still draws an impressive number of queries. She may be best known for her turn opposite Robert DeNiro in the controversial movie "Angel Heart." Bonet and her husband, Jason Momoa, also made news when they named their child Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa.
Malcolm-Jamal Warner (Theo)Like Raven-Symone, Mr. Warner is both an actor and a singer. The Emmy-nominee has starred in his own sitcom, "Malcolm and Eddie," the Showtime hit "Dexter," and the poorly received 2008 romantic comedy, "Fool's Gold" (it wasn't his fault). He's also released a few CDs, including "The Miles Long Mixtape." We haven't had the pleasure of listening to it, but the cover has us intrigued.
Tempestt Bledsoe (Vanessa)Much like Jan Brady, Bledsoe had the thankless task of playing the annoying middle child. Still, she went on to host her own short-lived talk show, and also appeared on the third season of "Celebrity Fit Club." According to Wikipedia, she and her boyfriend will appear in a Fox reality show called "Househusbands." Sounds a lot like Keshia's career...
Sabrina LeBeauf (Sondra)The eldest Cosby kid is also the least popular in Search. Lookups are scant for the actress, but we did manage to track down a bit of info from IMDb. They report that she continues to act and has her own interior design company. Trivia alert: Apparently she beat out Whitney Houston for the role of Sondra.
