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, Heeeeeey! This show ruled!

What can one say? It is one of the best shows ever to air on Saturday mornings. Bill Cosby sure whipped up one heck of a show. I liked it because there was always a lesson to learn, and a moral. I think it was really unique since it was based on Bill Cosby's childhood living in Philadelphia, and that it had an inner city edge. It was pretty funny too.

I myself think this show should be back on the air. I haven't seen an episode in a long time, and I think Cartoon Network should air it. That or Bill Cosby putting the show on VHS or DVD. They really should put this back on tv. because I think kids today can benefit from a show like Fat Albert that teaches lessons instead of shows now at days that just entices kids to get their moms, or dads to buy toys and get nothing much out of these shows in the learning range.

They really should put this back on the air. 10/10.
