Bounce TV Features "Fat Albert" on Halloween

Bounce TV (http://bouncetv.com), the country's first-ever over-the-air broadcast television network for African-Americans, will premiere Fat Albert's Halloween Special this weekend and will present a mini-marathon of the classic 1977 special on Halloween night.

Bounce TV will present consecutive airings of Fat Albert's Halloween Special on Halloween, Monday night Oct. 31 from 8:00-10:00 p.m. The special will premiere on Bounce TV on Friday, Oct. 28 at 7:00 p.m. and will also be seen Sat. Oct. 29 and Sunday, Oct. 30 at 6:30 p.m. (All times Eastern.)
Neal Ardman, President of Broadcast Partners, from whom Bounce TV licensed the show, said "We are thrilled to have Bounce TV airing this special, Fat Albert's Halloween is a great show and deserves an audience."

In Fat Albert's Halloween Special, some of the Cosby kids pull Halloween tricks on unsuspecting neighbors, but the tables get turned by one elderly neighbor who lives in the spooky house by the graveyard. When some of the kids do not return from "trick-or-treating," one of the Cosby kids must show courage to see what has happened to their friends. The special comes from the beloved animated series Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids, created, produced and hosted by comedian Bill Cosby, who also lent his voice to a number of characters, including Fat Albert himself.
