Damn, almost 40 years ago when this came out. I feel old. This and shows like it were so good. Cartoons back then were simply magical.
Bill Cosby did the whole thing with a roller and it was excellent!!
RIP Michael Gray
Memories..:)

Too bad I was not born in the year where this show was running then!
we gonna have a good time!
Most of anything that’s on tv today is not worth watching. I wouldn’t let my dog or cats watch them. Most of today’s shows aren’t even fit for an animal to watch.
HEY HEY HEY! I TOTALLY remember this.
@Skormorak THEY SUUUUURE DO!!!!
OOOOOH YEAH, I REMEMBER THIS SHOW!! RIP, GOOD CARTOONS!
I like the show, but I could NEVER understand “Mush Mouth”!
Fear GOD who hath power to cast you into HELL(Luke 12:5)! Fear God and depart from evil(Proverbs 3:7)! God is ANGRY with the wicked everyday(Psalm 7:11)! Jesus Christ is the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE, there is NO OTHER WAY to be saved(John 14:6)! For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved(John 3:17)! TURN FROM YOUR SINS AND SUBMIT 2 THE LORDSHIP OF JESUS CHRIST NOW! DON’T BOAST OF HAVING TOMORROW! Proverbs 27:1
I remember Fat Albert reruns as a kid, but cartoons these days are nothing but computer graphics.
I love the theme song.
@Skormorak
Which is why I don’t watch current TV anymore. My TV watching consists of DVD sets from the 70′s….
was that orange or blue paint?
@Skormorak
I don’t know whats better, awful card game shows or crappy 13 episode Filmation cartoons with stock laughs and cheap animation techniques.
You could use the same defense on how cartoons sucked in the 70s if you were a fan of cartoons from the 50′s.
Background vocals from Kim Carnes??
A little different than “Bette Davis Eyes”

My favorite episode was about “Beggin Benny”.
“Beggin Benny
He’ll borrow any thing youve got
A shoe

A greasy stamp
Or a coffee pot…….” LMAO!
This song and the Sanford and Son theme….funkiest songs ever created. Full stop.
