From the time I was in kindergarten to the time I was in high school, I have watched Fat Albert, and The Cosby Kids religiously, and enjoyed it. Thanks, Mr. Cosby.

[@user-dz9tt3qn9p]

You know this show is like Arthur. The show that teach kids about life lessons.

[@Steve-xr2vp]

No matter what Cosby did or they claim he did doesn't matter. Fat Albert is part of my child hood. And I'll always support this cartoon and the guy who created it.

[@TJOEL20]

Bruh… there is no “they claim he did”, he fucking did it. It was a proven open-and-shut case 🤦🏼‍♂️ Ya boy is a rapist. That doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy his creations, Michael Jackson was a pedophile and people still enjoy his music guilt free. Enjoy what he created, but don’t defend the rapist just because you like his silly little cartoon…

I loved Fat Albert as a kid in the 1970’s, as a white suburbanite kid and race didn’t matter, it was a kid watching other kids.😊

[@raggaeldestro8609]

Obviously it does matter. You wouldn't have mention it if it didn't.

@@K7Reaver my point was, if you mention it then it does. Nobody says "as a human being...". Obviously he wanted attention. Was it done consciously, I don't know.

I thank God for Bill Cosby and everyone involved in the show! I will always love this show, the songs, and the message. I showed my dad the Wombley episode to encourage him to stop smoking. Within the same week, my dad fully quit smoking.❤

Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids Was Absolutely My Favorite Cartoon it Was the Best One Ever Made I Still Love it I Grew up Watching it

[@christopherkahn6522]

This was my favorite cartoon of all time. For a middle-class kid, it taught me that everyone is not so fortunate. Yet, it didn't matter because they had the same cares and concerns that I did and I could relate to them and laugh along with them.

I grew up hearing Bill on records. I then saw reruns of Fat Albert on TV, and even a few times on seseme street. He's a big part of my childhood, and although his record isn't spotless, I'm glad to have known him.

Fat Albert is such a iconic cartoon character

[@Flomo112]

I grew up watching Fat Albert ever Saturday and loved the movie. I was told by a white liberal I was racist for liking the show. What? I never thought of the show racially. They were just like my knuckleheaded friends. One could argue it introduced me into the love of black culture. Is it racist I like Run DMC, Wutang, Marvin Gaye, Jimi Hendrix, Fishbone, Sade, George Clinton, James Brown, etc?

[@jacksonteller3973]

Well some of the characters were kinda offensive like Mush Mouth who is incredibly lazy and spouts unintelligible gibberish, Chris Rock talked about how he got made fun of at school because white kids expected him to talk funny like that. The show has it's good points but good lord Mush Mouth was a terrible idea who never should've made it to the screen.

[@Artisan1979]

Regardless of this man's crimes, I enjoyed fat Albert and the Cosby kids when I was growing up. I sincerely hope the generations can ignore the transgressions of the creator, and just enjoy the creation, because these life lessons that the show conveyed to the young viewers were worth watching, even if they were hypocritically ignored by Bill Cosby himself.

[@jimmytaylor1570]

These cartoon guys were real! In the movie that was made about Fat Albert, they showed his grave and the guys who Bill grew up with and talked about. I with people would let a man who has done his time alone. I the work of the Crosby Show and the real problems they face, and I like again the cartoons that helped kids and let them know they were not going through things alone. Others face them too, showed how they could get help! Thanks to his late Son.

[@BardiXOfficial]

I'm sad so many good lessons were taught by someone who should've followed them

[@SmurfySmurf12345]

Same.

[@TheDoctor1225]

Yeah because everyone believes that an accuser says you did something 40 years past, when no one in the world could possibly defend themselves. I'm sad that so many people who found him funny and laughed now suddenly act like he's a terrible person that no one likes because of what he was accused of.

I enjoyed the show, and I saw "color" (and black culture) each fun episode I watched as a kid and adult. That's why the show was different and fun.

[@jimmytaylor1570]

This is one of the greatest cartoons out, even more so with the trash of today!

[@MikeChhem]

The part where Bill was talking about fat characters being depicted as assholes or doofuses really aged well. Considering the fact that Fat Albert was created before Homer Simpson, Peter Griffin, and Eric Cartman even existed.

[@jamestilson8985]

Growing up in the South as a white kid in rural Appalachia, this and other tv shows in the 70’s was my first exposure to Black culture. Now, mind you, there was a lot of stereotypes that I had to learn my way out of later as I became more learned and more worldly, but to this day, regardless of what may have happened, I have separated art from artist and still enjoy the work that Dr Cosby and others have helped us as a culture to grow.

What Bill emphasized, which set him apart from other activists in the industry past and present was that he never pushed 'by any means necessary', but instead pushed the ideology yjat there has to be a better way, let's find one. A profound statement that still holds up today.

[@gertibell]

I never thought about them being inner city black kids except that I was jealous they got to hang out in a junkyard. Grass is always greener. Every kid loved Mush-mouth. We would all try to mimic his way of talking.

[@TheDoctor1225]

God grant that none of the self-righteous here and in so many other places ever have someone from their past step forward and decide that now's the time to settle an old score, get back at them for something real or imagined, and accuse them of having done something so long ago that no one could possibly defend themselves against it in a "your word against mine" situation. You may rather suddenly realize that it's not nearly so comfortable a position as sitting back and judging someone else as so many feel they can do with Bill Cosby.

[@AnimeFan0048]

They went over the Gang episode and even touched on the Child abuse episode But the No no episodes to go over were the Computer hacking Cancer STD’s Teen drug use/drug pusher episodes also The prison episode Teen drinking episodes
