    Among the greatest cartoons ever made…has some good messages for kids that I approve of. Not garbage I see today imitating Black lingo, cussing, passing gas amd hatmful humor that Fat Albert NEVER had. Liked the old cartoons (Popeye, Flinstones, Bugs Bunny, Woody, etc) they were violent, but not so vukger like Ren & Stimpy, Beavis & Butthead or South Park, nor is stereotyped like The Cleveland Show. You never seen lose women or gangbangimg, or sex on Fat Albert…

    *sigh* I love Fat Albert cartoons. I grew up watching him and the Jackson 5 cartoon (along with Bugs Bunny and School House Rock) in the 80’s. Even though the cartoon originally aired in the late 70’s.

    Wow, Saturday morning cartoons eating a bowl of Captain Crunch. My siblings and I singing along with Fat Albert’s intro song. How I miss those days so much. Those days were so fun. Fat Albert was the joint for real! I don’t care how many years have passed since that cartoon. Even my 15 year old niece likes watching classic Fat Albert cartoons and she wasn’t even thought of back then. My sister and I got a DVD collection of him. My niece loves it. Even my little nephews who are younger enjoys the cartoons. Nothing wrong with passing on the tradition of some good quality cartoons like Fat Albert compared to some of the junk they got on tv nowadays. At least those cartoons taught kids some positive things to build their character instead of teaching them to be promiscuous, gang bangers or just an infestation of gross habits.

    These cartoons now can’t touch those back in the day. The cartoons now seem to teach kids more about having bad manners than good. Some character’s are seen burping, passing gas, making something gross. Some of the characters don’t look human or animal, who knows what they are. Not to mention a lot of them cartoons now are more adult like than anything else with the bad language and sexual innuendos. Just crap.
