Summaries

The educational adventures of a group of Afro-American inner city kids.

The series follows the adventures of an group of African American kids living in the ghettos of South Philadelphia in the early 70s. In pretty much every episode they deal with the challenges of life and many times make mistakes but learn from them and correct the mistake though sometimes there were lasting repercussions from that mistake. All and all it was a fun show that portrayed urban ghetto kids in a positive light.—Gourry Gabriev

Animated Saturday-morning television cartoon about Fat Albert and his friends. The situations portrayed usually carried a message or a moral as these kids got into and out of various kinds of trouble.—Tad Dibbern <[email protected]>

The Cosby Kids, led by the aptly-named Fat Albert, go through the same kind of adventures they did in the original program. The main difference, however, is that now each episode begins with the kids watching their favorite TV show, "The Brown Hornet". In each episode of this show, the characters learn some lesson about life. After the show is over, the Cosby Kids inevitably face some similar situation, and must put into practice the lessons learned from their TV heroes.—Jean-Marc Rocher <[email protected]>
