Info

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.

Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids Audience Reviews

GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.
Beanbioca As Good As It Gets
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
hfan77 I have seen very few episodes of Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids because i bowled in a league when the show aired but in the shows I saw, it was an excellent blend of entertainment and education. Bill Cosby was a true genius behind the show as creator, host and voice of several characters, including the main title character. Not only did the show have a long run on Saturday mornings, it also helped Cosby earn his doctorate in education. That's why viewers saw the credit on his next big hit The Cosby Show William H. Cosby Jr. Ed.d.Another key to the show's success was that the characters were based on real-life friends and relatives of Cosby from his days growing up in Philadelphia. It showed a lot of realism and helped viewers learn about important subjects such as health, TV addiction and respect for authority. Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids was one of TV's best cartoons of all time. Hey hey hey!
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!!!
Brian Washington This is probably the finest effort by Bill Cosby, even better than the Cosby Show. This show managed to teach valuable lessons without being overly preachy like other show's that came out around the same time (Isis, Shazam etc.). Also, the show had memorable characters such as Russell (based on Cosby's own brother), Weird Harold, Dumb Donald and, of course, Fat Albert. This will always be one of the great series in the history of Saturday morning programming.
Vlad one This is the quintessential animated show of all times. Bill Cosby has masterfully created an amazing show complete with an array of vocally diverse characters.Hey Hey Hey, Its Fat Albert time !!!!We must petition Bill Cosby to release this series on videotape or at least on The Cartoon Network...It has been at least 15 years since this animated masterpiece was in syndication.
