[edit] Criticism
A discussion of criticism of the portrayal of Fat Albert and the Gang, representing major racial stereotypes of African-American's, would add to the dimension of this article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.109.248.114 (talk • contribs).
Cut phrase (indicated by strikeout):
- At the end of each episode, the gang would sing a song about the theme of the day. This sequence, similar to those seen in other Filmation shows including The Archie Show, has often been parodied
and mocked for its style and lack of moral ambiguity.
What does 'mocked for its style' mean? I've never heard of anything being mocked "for its style".
More importantly, who would mock an educational series for moral unambiguity? One would expect criticism on the grounds that an issue was brought up, but treated in an ambiguous way (thus confusing the kids or leaving them unsatisfied). Or is this a way of introducing a POV that "Education for children SHOULD be morally ambiguous"? --Uncle Ed 16:02, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
I would like to see the statement "Bill Cosby is gay" cited. I have found no information supporting this statement.
