In "Gang Wars", Albert (Bill Cosby) steps in to try to not only prevent a gang war, but to protect his new friend, Fernando, whose brother, Tito, is one of the gang leaders, conscripting his younger sibling into his gang. In an example of how the anti-violence rules had been either excised or relaxed in the 80's, this was the most violent episode of the series.
Unfortunately, there isn't a complete copy to be had, so this 3:00+ edited excerpt is all we have.
Edit, 3/11/20: The end credit card in this new video is not original.
Edit, 1/21/24: Now, we have the complete episode:
Cosby never meant for Fat Albert to be physically tough, but, rather, a voice of reason. In a different context, I don't think the Green Street Gang would've been so cocky.....
