Hey, hey, hey! A group of urban adolescents learns a series of valuable life lessons while hanging out in their Philadephia neighborhood. Members of the group include Fat Albert, Mushmouth, Dumb Donald and Weird Harold. In addition to providing the voice of Fat Albert and other characters, Bill Cosby appears as himself (in live-action form) as a host of sorts at the beginning and end of episodes.

Mike P @RT09890132 03/31/2024 Inspite of the unpleasant revelations about Bill Cosby, this is still an excellent children's show, which offered positive role models for people of color, challenged stereotypes, and delivered positive messages to America back in the 70s; and it is worth being celebrated and revisited today.
