The local library happened to have "Fat Albert's Greatest Hits" on DVD, so I checked them out. Here I present you with a brief summary.

Upside: Seeing Bill Cosby in a fro (if only for the first few episodes).
Downside: The animation and stories sucked. The first episode had a moral about lying. Lying! Don't do it!

Give me Mr. T over Fat Albert any day.

Man, that riff of yours is like school in summertime.

"hey-buh dere-buh fat duh-buh al-bert tuh-buh."

(I think that was mushmouth. A favorite.)

and remember the Junkyard Band? here's a classic:

don't be sad, in the hospital
don't be mad, in the hospital
you'll be glad
and you'll get ice cream (ice cream) (rudy looks up through the situation)

It was one of the best Saturday morning shows of all time. No more, no less.




"and if you're not careful, you might learn something."

Fat Albert had that excellent music that kids shows and cartoons had in the mid to late seventies. That was before all that awesome Motowny Funk dried up and was replaced with stupid "radical" guitar licks.

Ohhh, Fat Albert... I miss that cartoon. :\
