Episode 9124A-823 "AND SO WE COMMENCE Part I

Cliff invites a host of relatives and friends to celebrate Theo's graduation from NYU. And, despite a scarcity of tickets, Cliff just keeps on inviting people. Theo's protests fall on deaf ears. "If they ask me, they're coming," declares the proud father.

Eight years of magic, love and laughter with the Huxtable family come to an end as Cliff's invitation list for Theo's graduation continues to grow. At the commencement ceremony, Cliff thinks back eight years to the day he used Monopoly money to illustrate the harsh realities of life to then-13-year-old Theo. By the time Cliff emerges from his reverie, Theo's already a graduate. Cliff and Clair dance cheek-to-cheek one last time in the Huxtable living room - and then dance off the set into television history.
