Hey! Hey! Hey!

"You don't have no sense of humor -- and no sense neither!"

~ Fat Albert

Well. I officially stand corrected. Here I was thinking that me and the kids in my neighborhood were the only ones watching Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids in between Bugs Bunny and Soul Train.

Thanks to your comments -- and my focus group of at least five non-African American Grady doctors -- I now know for certain that Fat Albert and even Rudy with his soulful pimp walk were both being enjoyed by children of all cultures. Whaaaaat?

Mmm hmmm.

See? I was over here thinking that these were the only Cosby kids that crossed over to the mainstream.

 

My bad. I guess that cartoon was on CBS. And, yeah, once you got past all the crazy things they were wearing, there were some good take home messages. And one-liners. 

"Man! You just like a school in the summertime! NO CLASS!"

~ Rudy from the Cosby Kids

Hmmm. Now I'm wondering what the whole fascination was with Bill Cosby and the name "Rudy." Does anybody know this? Yes, people. These are the important things I concern myself with before leaving work for the day.

Yup.

Hold up. Does this mean that y'all were also watching Soul Train and What's Happenin', too? Whaaaaat?

Happy Thursday.

And for people of all hues, I leave you with an excerpt from the Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids HALLOWEEN SPECIAL! YAAAY-YUUUUUHHH!!!

A few awesome quotes for you to share with your kids for next year, 
including a lesson from Albert himself:

When they ring the doorbell. . .

"You know what we here for! 

Lay some treats on us!"

~ The Cosby Kids

And when they get home with their candy. . . .

"Hey, hey, hey! I don't care what you say! 

I ain't gon' eat nothin' but wrapped up goodies!"

~ Fat Albert
