Trivia
The characters are based on Bill Cosby and his childhood friends growing up in North Philadelphia. Cosby often talked about his childhood experiences in his earlier stand-up comedy albums.

Goofs
Fat Albert's voice sounds very different in the main show than it does in the opening sequence.

Quotes
[intro to every "Brown Hornet" episode]
Television Announcer: It's not a bird! It's not a bee! It's the BROWN HORNET...! Last time, as you recall, we left our hero the Brown Hornet and his trusty pal Stinger hopelessly trapped...! Using the Brown Hornet's superpowers, they naturally escaped unharmed! Now we pick up with our heroes as they face an even worse threat...!

Hey, Hey, Hey!

I was at my local video store and found Fat Albert on video. It looked good, so I decided to rent it. Bill Cosby does the voices for himself, his brother Russell, Fat Albert, Dumb Donald, Rudy, and Mushmouth. My dad watched it with me and told me it was a TV series when he was younger. Later, I rented the Fat Albert Halloween Special. I liked that, too. Look for this series on video. I recommend it to all Bill Cosby fans.
