Spin-off from the popular sitcom The Cosby Show, Denise Huxtable enters
her sophomore year at Hillman, alma mater of her parents and grandfather,
where she moves into Gilbert Hall and shares a dorm room with 26-year-old
Jaleesa Vinson and talkative new roommate Maggie Lauten. Also included in
the first season cast were obnoxious and extremely wealthy dormmate Whitley
Gilbert, ladies' man Dwayne Wayne and dorm director Stevie Rallen. Lettie
Bostic later replaced Stevie as the new dorm director. At the end of the
first season, Denise would return home after dropping out of college.
Stories dealt mainly with college-themed issues such as
racism, fraternity pledging and on-campus romances.
In the fall of 1988, new students Freddie Brooks and Kim Reese entered Hillman
College. Freddie was a "hippie-child" who developed a crush on Dwayne; and Kim,
an aspiring med student, became Whitley's new roommate. Giving Dwayne a hard
time was his math professor, Col. Bradford Taylor. Also, Ron Johnson and Walter
Oakes became regulars in the second season after appearing occasionally during
the first season. Vernon Gaines, chef at the campus hangout, The Pit, became a
regular in the third season. Whitley and Dwayne began an on-again off-again
relationship before they became married at the end of the fifth season.
