The Season Five opener of The Cosby Show finds Cliff and Clair Huxtable (Bill Cosby, Phylicia Rashad) eagerly looking forward to an "empty nest" as the school year begins. Cliff is particularly delighted that his son Theo will be moving into a dorm during his freshman year at NYU. Unfortunately, Theo forgot to send in his application for a dorm assignment, and will have to remain in the Huxtable household until he can scrounge up an apartment--and if this wasn't enough of an intrusion on Cliff and Clair's solituate, daughter Denise (Lisa Bonet, no longer a regular and billed as "guest star") has dropped out of Hillman college and returned to find a job nearer to home!
