[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. —Preceding unsigned comment 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.
[edit] Is this vandalism?
Also, can someone clear (or remove) the last section. I've never seen the show, so can't verify whether any of this is correct. However, the grammer is appalling.
"The new episodes ended in 1985 because it was cannceled due to crude humor,in those episodes,Fat Albert pulled his pants down to show the cosby kids he had a sex change although he still looked like his normal character,Fat Albert also had a puppy named Blinky who was semi-retarded and Mushmouth convinced evereybody in the neiborhood of the show that he himself was retarded so since the cosby kids knew nothing about him having retardation,they hired a bunch of gangsters to shoot him to death while Fat Albert couildn't take the fact any longer that he was highly overwieght so he cut off his legs with a saw so he won't weigh as much and then he put himself in a wagon and bought a slave gypsy to pull him around anywhere he ordered her to so one day when the slave gypsy got realy mad she pushed the wagon off a bridge with him in it causing him to fall in a body of water causing him to drown to his death and after that the show was canncelled due to poor ratings. In 1989, NBC aired reruns for a few months during that summer."
