HEY HEY HEY!! It's Fat Albert!!
 

Hi Sorors, SFs, and BFs,
This morning I encountered the following news: FAT ALBERT to be made for the big screen!! I was and still am very excited. Here is a link for an article about the upcoming project: http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/bpihw/2...ert_pic_1.html

I think it is great that some of the popular shows and cartoons are being returned to our presence one more time.

Are there any others that you would like to see, be it cartoon, TV show, etc?

Black is a mystery, and part of my history. Black is bold and worth a hell of a lot more than gold.

I can't wait! Cosby Kids was one of my most favorit-est cartoons when I was a kid.

Na-Na-Na, gonna have a good tiiiime!

I wonder will they all have fresh aces for the characters or just go with those already established in Hollywood. I can't wait to see who plays Russell and Mushmouth.

I think that for the most part they should go with both. It will be great to see new talent as well as some of Hollywood's favorites. I am trying to find a Fat Albert website. As one of my co workers said this will push the prices of PLATINUM FUBU sky high!!!

hey Hey HEY!! Its FFFFAAAATTT Albert!!

*whew*

BTW, this show takes place where Bill (and me!) grew up, North Philly in da House!

Can someone tell me what Platinum FUBU is and what does it have to do with Fat Albert?

If you are looking for a Fat Albert website, go to www.tvparty.com and click on Saturday Morning cartoons. You will find a section devoted to Fat Albert, and even breaks it down by season (1972-78) and the topics they address. It should include a soundbite for the theme song.

I heard about this yesterday!

NOW, who are they going to cast as Fat Albert? The Cosby Kids?

A sister can't wait!

sorry to barge in, but i just had to post here. I used to watch Fat Albert as a kid, in the early 80's along with Picture Pages. I had the workbook and pen from the show. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif Anyway, I was watching Saturday Night Live a while back, and they had a skit about Fat Albert, starring Tracy Morgan as Fat Albert. They had someone as Mushmouth, Tim Meadows I think, but I'm not sure. I didn't catch the whole thing, but it was hilarious. They talked about Albert having his first heart attack at 13...

**Sounding like Wanda from In Living Color** oooooooh MY GOODNESS!! You don't know about Platinum Fubu. The only reason I truly know is because I teach high school. Platinum Fubu is clothes that feature Fat Albert Characters designed by Fubu. They have t-shirts, jeans, jackets. VERY EXPENSIVE!! I bought my brother a shirt and it was close to $70!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif but I love him so HEY HEY HEY!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Mess http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/tongue.gif!! Thanks, though!! I have seen people with Fat Albert characters on their clothes but I didn't know it was FUBU!! My brothers wear it but I'm not into "trendy" brands. It's so sad that these kids (including my brothers) will spend that much for those clothes and I guarantee they have no idea what Fat Albert is.

I totally agree 90% of my students are only wearing it because it is Fubu. Just like about 8 years ago when X hats, shirts, etc. were popular, there were a lot of people wearing it but had no concept of Malcolm X, his ideology and what he did for our race.

My brother is 22 so he does remember but there are a lot of kids who wear something purely for fashion and name value.

speaking of fat a, am i the only one sick and tired of seeing him EVERYWHERE...like pl. fubu?
