The show began filming in Brooklyn but eventually moved to a larger studio in Queens.
By then, much of America was familiar with the Huxtables and their weekly antics.
Some women have alleged that Cosby made unwanted advances toward them on set.
Steve Watkins
Watkins was a directors assistant onThe Cosby Show.
Theyre all models, and they look it.
A modeling agency would bring them over to talk to Mr. C, according to Watkins.
His dressing room was always open, he said.
The owner just walked right out, Scotti said.
He claimed she knew exactly what was going to go on.
Then Cosby would tell me, Stand outside the door and dont let anyone in.
Scotti said he came forward because he felt sorry for the women making allegations against Cosby.
Hurd said that she started to take notice after she refused an invitation to Cosbys house.
She was later informed that she had been given a role as a police officer on the show.
She said she was led off the set to Cosbys dressing room, where she ate alone.
When Scotti came up to her again the next day, Tirl said she refused to leave.
Allegedly, two people dismissed her concerns, telling her, Just go.
This happens all the time, just go.
Tirl alleged that he came in, closed the door, and locked it.
You do understand who I am, she said.
According to Tirl, Cosbys mood soured and he said, Dont say that to me.
They all say that to me.
Tirl said she believes she was not the first person this happened to.
A lot of people [on set] knew, she said.
Because you cant do what he did unless you have other people supporting what youre doing.
Alice Opell
By the time Cosbys deposition was unsealed, Sue Charney had died.
I dont think she knew what was going on, she said.
She did it as a courtesy he requested, that the models attend the taping.

He handed her a drink and put his crotch area in her face, she alleged.
Gumpel said that Cosby got physically angry when she refused his advances and kept pressing the drink toward her.
She claimed he eventually walked to the door and told her to leave.
She toldotheroutletsthat this happened within an hour of her visit to the modeling agency.
In 2014, Thompson accused Cosby of an unwanted sexual encounter at his home in the late 80s.
She previously played a part with no lines in a 1988 episode.
Bernard noted the constant presence of models on set during her interview inWe Need to Talk About Cosby.
There was always a long line of beautiful women, all different shades …
I mean, the whole gamut, the whole rainbow of the human race, she said.
Yeah, they were lined up outside of his dressing room, poor things, going in and out.
Joseph C. Phillips
Phillips played Martin Kendall on three seasons ofThe Cosby Show.
In 2015, Phillips published asince-deleted blog posttitled Of Course Bill Cosby Is Guilty!
In fact, that is what some of us called it the parade.
One prettier than the next.
I dont know what went on, and then they would go out.
It was just kind of like the air, he said with a laugh.
You know, it was there, and everybody knew it.
