Season 3 (The Cosby Show)

Season 3 (1986-87)

 * This season comprises 25 episodes
 * This season's opening sequence featured the cast dancing to Latin jazz in a gray/blue room. Once again, Bill Cosby is seen at the end of the credits dancing to the music as the production credits appear and at the end, he quickly turns his head and looks into the camera before the sequence fades to black. Two versions of this theme were used. However, the season three theme's long version had some parts cut, instead of a differently composed version of that theme.
 * Phylicia Rashād was pregnant throughout much of this season, so the crew hid her stomach for most of the season, using such devices as staging the character standing behind the kitchen counter or lying in bed under the covers.
 * Producer Carmen Finestra becomes Supervising Producer, as Matt Williams is now listed in the opening credits, as the new Producer.
