Searchlight Johnson looks like the late Rosco Lee Brown. He and Bill Cosby were good friends and appeared on "The Cosby Show". He played Cliff Huxtable's old college professor, who helped him win a pinnacle game.
I thought it was Datura Stramonium from Metal Fingers 9 + 0 (and obviously Poo Putt Platter from Mm..Food) not Ashwaganda? In fact what is Ashwaganda on? Sounds like a Special Herbs but I can't seem to find it on any of them.
Also in the Vast Aire/Doom collab "Da Superfriendz"
I love the fact that Fat Albert has always crossed racial barriers. He became so popular with children of all races. This has to be one of my Top 10 Halloween specials of all time though...
@alvarez5150 Yeah, as I was watching this last night, for the first time in a long long time, I thought to myself "I could have sworn this originally had a laugh track." I liked it better *with* the laugh track.
Wow, I just realized that the ancient VHS recording I've been watching for years, is missing some parts. The bit where they're showing off their costumes, I've never seen before.
That said, I love all the characters in this! Searchlight Johnson is just epic with that monster flashlight and big bad see-gar.
Boy, does this bring back memories. I remember watching this. I was 8 years old in 1977, and this was part of the reason why I looked forward to the months of Oct-Dec (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas) every year. All those televised holiday themed specials like this one.
Yep, this brings back some memories. Back when you had to beg like Keith Sweat in order to stay up to see the Charlie Brown and Fat Albert specials on CBS...
@classicphile too bad it's now narrowed down to only maybe three halloween specials on basic and anything else is run practically every day on paid stations
@classicphile My sentiments exactly!! Teach school and show it to my kids every year along with the Devil and Daniel Mouse. They watch Fat Ailbert's Christmas too.
Thank you SO much for putting this up! I've loved this since the year it was released and just now tried to rent it from Netflix... and wouldn't you know it, someone snagged it before I did (couldn't blame them!). This makes up for my disappointment. Thanks again!
love fat albert it's so much fun and clever seen 20 episodes on dvd and am finishing episodes of fat albert on the hulu website i am up episode 16 of season 2!
Thank you so much for putting this up. It actually means a lot to me. My Mom taped over my copy of this back in the day and she has felt guilty ever since. Now I can say "Mom, don't worry, I saw the Fat Albert Halloween Special on youtube." Now she doesn't have to carry that guilt with her. Thanks to you.
its funny how they walk ha ha
