Anybody remember Fat Albert?

I mean the cartoon from the ’70s - not the live-action film from a year or two ago. I managed to not see that (but, no, I didn’t exactly “miss” it either).
As I have hinted at a time or two before, I’m just almost to the wrong side of 40 years old, so the cartoons from the 70’s are what I grew up on and Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids was one of the few shows that the five of us kids never fought about watching. Maybe it was because of the music the kids played on those home-made junkyard instruments (Fat Albert’s radiator-tuba or Weird Harold’s bedspring-harp were cool) or maybe it was the kids’ incredible fashion sense. Not only did you have Russel who dressed for snow even in August, but there were also Mush Mouth and Dumb Donald with their beanies - the latter of whom had eye holes cut into his. And of course, who could forget Fat Albert and that same bright red tent shirt every week for 12 years.
They just don’t make ‘em like that any more.
