Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Although Fat Albert had been on the air four years when I was born, I still enjoyed eight years of it (1976-1984) on Saturday mornings, and even more in syndication. I had forgotten how funny the characters were, especially the way Russell and Rudy used to spout off on each other. This show had a great way of entertaining you and educating you at the same time. Included in this disc set are the following episodes:
13. Tomboy: Penny, a new girl at school, alienates the gang because she's so good at sports. Penny meets her match though, when she goes up against Fat Albert in a baking contest.
14. Stage Fright: The kids try to perform "Moby Dick" in a play contest, but they are all overcome with a severe case of stage fright, and their set ends up hilariously falling to pieces.
15. The Bully: A bully named Slappy is harassing the kids and surprisingly, it's the smallest one of them all, Russell, who finds Slappy's weakness.
16. Smart Kid: Thurmond, the class genius, will help the kids improve their grades if they will help him improve his athletic skills.
17. Mister Big Timer: Frainey is a big hit with the gang when he's constantly showering them with gifts. What no one realizes is that his big brother, Muggles, is a big time drug dealer.
18. The Newcomer: Dumb Donald's life is jarred when his parents give him a new baby sister, but then he learns that being a big brother can be a lot of fun.
19. Dad's Job: The boys get an eye opener when they learn what their dads do for a living.
20. Mom and Pop: A new girl at school, Flora, is trying to cope with the divorce of her parents. Fat Albert and the gang help her out by making her "queen of the junkyard" and boosting her spirits.
21. How the west was Lost: Rudy is so sure he knows everything about Indians, only because he's seen a slew of Western movies. When Johnny, a Hopi Indian boy joins their class, it helps dispels a lot of stereotypes and rumors about Native Americans.
22. Sign Off: The gang learns the importance of street signs when a kid named Cool Roy gets his kicks off wrecking signs and spraying ugly grafitti all over town.
23. The Fuzz: Parker can't stand the cops or anyone else in uniform, but when he leads the gang into danger at an abandoned amusement park, he finds himself turning to the same men he despises. Fat Albert becomes a real hero in this episode.
24. Ounce of Prevention: The kids help their friend, Lucius, overcome a drinking problem.
I definitely reccommend these DVD's for any Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids fan. The cartoons may be old, but the messages are timeless...
