Did anyone else love this show?? I know it is on vhs now through I think the Time Life company. I saw them do a segment on these guys on the I love the 70's, and I forgot how funny I thought Mush Mouth was on here. They should still show Fat Albert on Saturday mornings. It is Timeless.

Actually, after just posting about Fat Albert, I did go check out www.timelife.com and I ordered Fat Albert on there. They have other shows on there, and they have movies on there, some are on clearance as low as $3.99-on vhs. I don't care what anybody says, I don't want them to phase out vhs, I think the tapes work better than dvds.
Columbia House has all the old shows that you can buy in the series. I have already got every Incredible Hulk episode in release, and I get Emergency! and Dukes of Hazzard and Wonder Woman, and now I am going to get Dallas, and Starsky and Hutch. So, that is great that at least anybody can get a hold of those great shows still.

Fat Albert was awesome and I wish some cable network would show re-runs of this timeless classic.
I remember when SNL did a VH1 Behind the Music parody on Fat Albert and the Junkyard band, way too funny.

That was Mush Mouth that talked like that, that was hilarious. What the heck was on Weird Harold's head, was it a hat- was his name Harold or Donald? The guy that wore the pink thing with his eyes cut out, that has been a mystery my whole life, and people talk about it, but I have never once heard an explaination for it.
It was awesome, because Bill Cosby always had a message in it about friendship, and I always liked when he said, and you may learn a thing or 2 before it's all through.... I like the songs they sang too.

As an adult Im gonna say that was a pink thing on his head was a HAT. As a child...who knew...it always reminded me of bubble gum. I also remember Rudy was the smart-a** in the group. Ah now ya got me wanting to see it again! hahaha.

p.s: And I DO remember learning little lessons from watching that show! It was like a condensed version of an afterschool special: oooh Fat Albert says "No" to drugs. Ooooh stealing is wrong. AND you got a musical number thrown in. What more could you ask for in one 25 minute show????

Just by chance I had SOUTH PARK on the other night and they were doing a parody of Fat Albert called Fat Abbott.

i remember reading that forest whitaker was going to do fat albert the movie but the idea went down the drain quickly due to some kind of conflict with some one, don't know who or why.
i really enjoyed the cartoon, but sadly...never saw that many episodes. i would love to see it again, if they would show it on cable.
