Season 2: 1985-1986

For the second season, the opening credits changed from the Huxtables in the park to a gray room with the cast dancing. The song was changed for the first time keeping the show's theme signature and featured a sort of jazz tone. Each cast member, in descending age of their characters, dances alongside Cosby as his/her name is shown in the credits. Bill Cosby is seen at the end of the credits "dancing" to the music as the producer credits appear and at the end, he quickly turns his head and looks into the camera before the sequence cuts to black. Two versions of this theme were also used. Much like the season one theme, both versions of season two's theme song were completely different in sound than the other. The long version featured more of a synth beat than the short. Midway through the season, following Phylicia Rashad's marriage to Ahmad Rashad, Phylicia's credit changed from "Phylicia Ayers-Allen" to "Phylicia Rashad". Producer Caryn Sneider's (who also got married) credit was also changed to read "Produced by Caryn Sneider Mandabach."

Season 6: 1989-1990

In the sixth and seventh seasons, the opening sequence featured the cast dancing to classical saxophone jazz at the Apollo Theater, located in Harlem, New York, NY. The saxophone was performed by Craig Handy. At the end of the sequence, instead of Bill Cosby looking at us, he would walk off and we would hear him say, "This is the best elevator music I've ever heard." This line was cut out of the credits when they were re-used in the seventh season. Also in season seven, Erika Alexander, who joined the cast as Cousin Pam, was added to the credits but didn't appear in the sequence herself since they were filmed before she started appearing on the show. Erika Alexander (November 19, 1969 - April 15, 2007) is an American actress. ...

Season 7: 1990-1991

The seventh season's credit sequence was to use a mural entitled "Street of Dreams," painted by inner-city youth from the Creative Arts Workshop in Harlem, for the opening credits. The producers wound up discarding the idea when their lawyers said that in order to use the mural they would have to get permission from all 63 young artists first. Instead, the show developed its own mural which combined some of the elements and used many of the colors of the actual one. The owners of the mural threatened to sue and denounced the show for ripping off the children. Carsey-Werner tried to negotiate a settlement with Creative Arts Workshop, but Bill Cosby decided to replace the theme with the 6th season's opening credits. Only four episodes featured the original opening credits, and only a few cities saw this version.[1] In all other areas in first-run and repeats as well as in syndication, only the replaced sequence was used. Lisa Bonet and Joseph C. Phillips were in the credits still but they only appeared in less than a handful of episodes during the season.

Season 8: 1991-1992

The mural "Street of Dreams," painted by inner-city youth from the Creative Arts Workshop in Harlem, was finally used full-time in season eight. The cast now danced in the sequence to a drum/trumpet blend performed by Lester Bowie. The scenes of Bonet and Phillips in the original opening sequence were removed. After the controversy from the previous season, the producers gave recognition to the painters of the original mural in the closing credits. Malcolm-Jamal Warner wore glasses in this set of opening credits, but not in any episodes.
