Hey, hey, hey - it’s Fat Albert! Created by comedian Bill Cosby’s 1960s monologues about family and childhood, Fat Albert and The Cosby Kids was an animated series about a group of friends growing up in Philadelphia. Live action bumpers featuring Cosby appeared before and after the show.
Each episode featured Albert and his friends such as Rudy, Mushmouth, Donald, Bill, Weird Harold and Russell. They each learned about everything from social issues to personal growth, combined with music and comedy. The show was re-titled The New Fat Albert Show in 1979, and added a new segment called The Brown Hornet, about an African-American superhero crime fighter in outer space.
Cosby voiced many of the characters himself, including Fat Albert, Bill, Mushmouth, Mudfoot and the Brown Hornet. The series was one of the longest running shows in Saturday morning cartoon history. It ran for twelve years, second only to the many incarnations of Scooby-Doo. From 1972 – 1984 the program ran on CBS, and NBC had it in syndication for one year in 1989.
