This was the best episode of "The Cosby Show".

I remember watching this episode of "The Cosby Show" & I thought it was rather educational as it taught me about how bad it is to lie about your whereabouts whenever you were to go someplace outside your parents' home. I also liked how in one scene of this episode after Vanessa gets caught in her lies, Claire said "Vanessa, you are a liar. Your whole story is falling apart right before your face & I'm gonna stop you now because you are my child & before I see you drift deeper into the abyss of untruth. Let me tell you Rudy has informed us that you were with Jeremy tonight & you're grounded for at least a month." The funniest thing about this episode was Vanessa Huxtable's ugly looking Afro/Ponytail hairstyle.
