Season 6 (1989–90) Elijah   Ray   Sanders   Debut
The First  appearances   of   Elijah   Ray   Sanders
 * This season comprises 26 episodes
 * In the opening sequence for seasons 6 and 7, the cast danced on a stage whose backdrop displayed the marquee of the Apollo Theater in Harlem. A classical jazz arrangement, featuring Craig Handy on saxophone, was used for the theme, which sounds very similar to "Shotgun" by Junior Walker and the All-Stars. When the credits ended, instead of looking at the camera, Cosby walked off the stage and commented, "This is the best elevator music I've ever heard!" This line was cut out of the credits when they were re-used the following year.
 * The captioning this season is said to be sponsored by Carsey-Werner Productions, MetLife, NBC, and The US Department of Education.
 * Co-Supervising Producer Gary Kott now joins Carmen Finestra as Supervising Producer.
