During each episode, Fat Albert and his friends, collectively known as The Junkyard Gang, dealt with an issue or problem commonly faced by young children, ranging from stage fright, first loves ("puppy love"), medical operations, and skipping school to harder, more serious themes (though toned down somewhat for young children) including smoking, vandalism, stealing, racism, immigration, being scammed by con artists, child abuse, kidnapping, drug use, and even gun violence. At the end of most episodes (there seem to have been exceptions in the case of particularly serious themes), the gang would sing a song about the theme of the day. This sequence, similar to those seen in other Filmation shows including The Archie Show, has often been parodied. Fat Albert (Picture 4). Fat Albert cartoon images gallery 4.

Despite the reputation of educational children television series for being unpopular on commercial television, the series enjoyed one of the longest runs in the history of the Saturday morning cartoon timeslot. In 1979, the show was re-titled The New Fat Albert Show and featured a new segment titled "The Brown Hornet" detailing the adventures of a larger-than-life African-American crime fighter in outer space whose design resembled a caricature of Bill Cosby, who also performed vocal talents on the character. The way he talked seemed cut off in the middle of his sentences. In 1984, the show was syndicated and renamed The Adventures of Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids. In those episodes, the lack of network restrictions allowed the producer to delve into previous forbidden subject matter such as when the kids have an inadvertent brush with the law and are given a terrifying Scared Straight!-style tour of an occupied maximum security prison. Another new segment was added: "Legal Eagle", a crime-fighting eagle with a pair of bumbling police squirrels. The new episodes ended in 1985. Fat Albert (Picture 4).
