Okay… this one has me excited: Shout! Factory has just set Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids: The Complete Series for release on DVD on 6/15 (SRP $119.99). The 15-disc DVD box set will include all 110 episodes of the series along with a 16-page book. Extras will include audio commentary with Bill Cosby and the all-new Hey, Hey, Hey… It’s The Story of Fat Albert documentary (featuring a new interview with Cosby). The booklet will also feature an essay by Dr. Gordon Berry, who was the show’s educational advisor. I really dug that show when I was a kid, so this should be a treat.
“Hey Albert, that’s N.C.”
“N.C.?”
“No Class!”
