Happy 69th birthday to Mr. Bill Cosby! Lots of people love Mr. Cosby for many reasons - mainly his stand up comedy and general sense of humor. However, I'm going to pay homage in a completely different way by honoring one of the all time GREAT Saturday morning cartoons.
Hey, Hey Hey! It's Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat Albert!!!
This cartoon ROCKED the house and was conveniently placed in the CBS Saturday morning lineup near reruns of Land of the Lost and good golly did I LOVE it. Fat Albert, Mushmouth, Dumb Donald, Weird Harold, and all the junkyard band gang wholesomely providing us with life's lessons at the very end of each show. The cool part was that Bill himself would pop in from time to time to talk about what the kids were doing and how it was all going in the 'wrong direction'. They would always turn in around in the end, though.
So happy birthday Mr. Cosby, and thanks for making my Saturday mornings in the late 70s and early 80s some of the best ever.
Na Na Na, gonna have a good time... :)

And if you're not careful, you just might learn something.
Don't forget, it is also the day Henry David Thoreau was born. The civilly-disobedient transcendentalist would have been 189.

Did you ever watch Picture Pages? http://www.mystiesplace.com/pages/picturepages/picturepages.html
I used to want the book sooo bad. I'd watch it and love it and beg my mom, but she'd just tell me to color on paper :(
I wasn't ever into Fat Albert.
