Fat Albert taken off the air

I know the reasons for why this was done, but I have to say I will miss watching it on Saturday mornings. To me it was a fun reminder for when I was a kid watching Saturday morning cartoons.
Now knowing what we do about mr Cosby, it's hard to look at him dispensing moral advice on how to be a better person, which is what happened on each episode of fat Albert.
I wish the reruns would still run, and you could ignore the person giving the advice, and just listen to the message, but that's asking a bit much.
I will miss fat Albert and the gang

I will miss it too. I thought it was a great cartoon.

I thought Bugs Bunny was a greatr cartoon. Flintstones, Beany and Cecil, Felix the Cat (inconic 50w-6s verisons). And I know I am STILL right. Fat Albert was Mr.Rogers reversed..it sucked like Barney the Dinosaur and for the same reaosns. Ironically the late Peggy Charren p.C.-politgcally correct, (BIH-Burn in HELL,C--t) liked all ovem*

*personal shorthand for all of them.:-)

What exactly do you mean "Mr. Rogers Reversed"?

A BLACK GUY AND HIS FRIENDS IN THE HOOD IS THE REVERSE OF A WHITEGUY AND HIS FRIENDS IN THE SUBURBS...IM FAIRLY CERTAIN THE COMPARISON IS MORE RACIST THAN IT IS ACCURATE.

Thank you for the feedback.

Mr.Rogers was Superior, and Fred Rogers didn't have any scandal.:-)
