Maid...it should be noted that there were, like, three maids during the show's run. There was Adelaide, and Pearl, and someone else. Mike H 00:59, Jan 11, 2005 (UTC)
- Someone else? She was the most famous one of all... Mrs. Garrett! :) Moncrief 04:30, May 10, 2005 (UTC)

- I thought there was someone else other than that! :) Mike H 01:51, May 13, 2005 (UTC)
Arnold's black goldfish was named Abraham --MidnightSwinga 04:59, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
Janet Jackson made appereances on the show --MidnightSwinga 04:59, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
- On The Cosby Show, Rudy's goldfish had a bathroom funeral. This seemed to be a copy of the bathroom funeral for Arnold's goldfish (Abraham) "Those who come from the sea, shall return to the sea". GoodDay 19:51, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Prostitution?
Uh... I never have heard of Dana Plato doing prostitution. This should be removed.
- The "Jeff Harris" mentioned in this page is not the same one that created this show.
[edit] Name Origin
There was a landmark court decision in 1977 regarding a white family denied the right to adopt their mixed-race foster child because family services thought he should be placed with a black family. The white couples surname was Drummond, and this was one year before DS began. Is there any chance this is just a coincidence? If not - is it worth a mention? I can't find any actual evidence that the case inspired the naming of (and perhaps even the idea for) the family in the show. - Lciaccio 14:33, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] consistency between articles
Someone more familiar than myself should probably work on the spelling of the Gary Coleman line; it's spelled differently here and in the bio of Coleman...consistency would be a good idea. User:Snyrt
[edit] IKEA Commercial
Last year Ikea used the show's theme song in a commercial; it was sung (summat off-key) by the Swedish announcer. I don't know if that's worth putting in. Comments, please? while I go look for a cite. Tks. --SigPig |SEND - OVER 11:14, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
