Synopsis

Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids is an animated series created, produced, and hosted by comedian Bill Cosby, who also lent his voice to a number of characters, including Fat Albert himself. Filmation was the production company for the series. The show premiered in 1972 and ran until 1985. The show, based on Cosby's remembrances of his childhood gang, centered on Albert, and his friends. The show always had an educational lesson emphasized by Cosby's live-action segments, and in early episodes the gang would usually gather in their North Philadelphia junkyard to play a rock song on their cobbled-together instruments at the end of the show.

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
anthony-rigoni Oh yeah, I freaking love Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids and I always watch this cartoon series every weekday. Don't believe me? Let's dive in...First of all, this TV series is light-hearted and original. It teaches kids the important lessons of life during each episode. There's also the likable characters. Out of all the characters in this show, my favorite is Fat Albert. He's funny, he's kind-hearted, and he knows what's right and wrong. The animation may not be impressive, but it didn't stop me from watching this show. This show is also funny. At the end of each episode, Fat Albert and his friends sing about what happened during the show and teach kids not to lie, not to do drugs, etc.Bottom Line: The characters are likable, the music is nice, the plots are creative and original, and this TV Series is a pretty funny and lighthearted show. And since it was made in 1972, all I can say is HAPPY 40TH BIRTHDAY FAT ALBERT AND THE COSBY KIDS!!!
ctyankee1 I like this series. It is on the Bounce Channel. http://www.bouncetv.com/schedule/Bill Cosby is the narrator and talks to the parents and kids in between scenes in the episode about values and the way kids can give back.I think Bill Cosby is an amazing example of how actors or comics use their talent and a cartoon show to teach good things to kids to learn.The characters in the episodes are funny and the episodes are full of laughs and funny scenes.To me Bill Cosby is such a good example of the way kids and adults can learn how good behavior and kindness can help others and build their character.We need more people with his code of ethic and love for others in the media industry.
cairn6 I LOVED THIS SHOW!!!! Who else could retell episodes from his youth in animated form better than Bill Cosby? Between the laughs, messages, stories, and songs, "Fat Albert" is entertainment in its highest form for both kids and adults alike. I know that if it were to run on TV again, I would make strong efforts to watch. Some of the most memorable moments came from the back and fourth sibling rivalry between Rudy and Russel....are they not believable characters or not? But the messages conveyed in each episode had the ability to stick in my mind. When dear old Uncle Monty passed away, the writers honestly presented the issue of death in a caring and real manner. And who can forget the "Scared Straight" episode where the gang got in trouble with the law and had to meet prison inmates face to face. That episode scared me straight too! All in all a terrific show which should be put back in circulation to at least benefit today's kids.
blackarachnia2 "Hey, hey, hey! It's Fat Albert, And I'm going sing a song for you and I'm going to teach you a thing or two. We'll have a good time just me and all of my friends. Learning from each other while we do our thing. Na na gonna have a good time! Na na gonna have a good time." "This is Bill Cosby. Stay tuned for music, adventure, and fun and you might learn something before it's done so let's get started okay? HEY! HEY! HEY!" "Na na gonna have a good time! Na na gonna have a good time."This was one of my favourite cartoons growing up and I still love it. :) I learned a lot from this show just be watching. Divorce, drugs, how to rescue someone after they've had a heart attack, and difficulties in being a young mother. Thanks Mr Cosby. I really had a good time watching this cartoon and good luck with the Fat Albert movie. :)
