Fat Albert And The Cosby Kids: The Complete Series

THANKS A LOT SHOUT FACTORY FOR THE COMPLETE SERIES
At last we can own the complete series, which includes the best original 36 1972-75 Episodes, all 24 1979-81 episodes and all 50 1984 episodes.

IGNORE THE OTHER REVIEW WHO ADMITS AT COMPARING MY REVIEW: He Is Jelous & Goes By Repeated Synication Dates, Not Just Original Premiere Dates, Because they for a fact didn't premiere new episodes of Fat Albert Every Year Between 1972-1989, Only A Few years out of them all featured New Episodes, Including 1972/1973/1975/1979/1980/1981/1984.

Unfortunately in past DVD Releases, only episode 1-24 In Two Volumes have been released seperately in the original fan favourite series, which are still easy to buy now at cheap overstock prices from third party sellers, MEANING I Want The whole series anyway - But for anyone who only wants the original 36 episodes, there is a catch out of you having to buy the whole series, specially for the last 12 episodes of the original series which never quite made it to Region 1 DVD Separately,...

Great Show Extremely Poor DVD Set
Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids is perhaps one of the very best Saturday Morning Cartoons to ever grace the TV screen. The shows never failed to deliver comedy and an important lesson with every episode. The show has a well earned spot in the hearts and minds of the kids, like myself, who were fortunate enough to see these shows when they first aired. How many of us in the 70s were constantly using the 'no class' lines from this show?

I eagerly purchased this set after waiting for over a year since the first announcement that this was coming to DVD. I was so looking forward to reliving these great shows at long last. I haven't seen most of these episodes since they went off the air over 30 years ago. My excitement turned to disgust as I watched the first 8 discs in this set.

First, the 1972-76 episodes have six episodes that use the 1984 The Adventures of Fat Albert opening titles and ending credits. However, these six episodes do appear to be unedited and complete...

Who'd a Thunk? A Positive Overweight and African-American Role Model!
Dr. Bill Cosby is many things - an incisive comedian, a successful sitcom star, a civil rights advocate, and occasionally, in my opinion, a sanctimonious egotist. Nevertheless, we should be thankful for Dr. Cosby for his unconventional, trailblazing '70s-'80s cartoon series "Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids", hereafter "Fat Albert". Not only did "Fat Albert" manage to be as entertaining and interesting as the usual animation stew being served up at the time, but it transcended those popcorn cartoons by covering, illustrating, and commenting upon important, relevant, even controversial topics (including racism, sexism, sibling rivalry, being different, drug use, worshipping false human idols, schoolwork, vandalism, and softcore pornography). Produced by Filmation, known for its penchant for moralistic if somewhat static cartoons, "Fat Albert" still towers over most, if not all, TV cartoon series.

In each episode, we follow the antics and adventures of several...
