Getting Schooled: Fat Albert meets Wheeler (1985)

As we've previously documented, The Adventures of Fat Albert & The Cosby Kids had the longest of the franchise's 13 years on the air. New episodes started in the fall of 1984, and extended all the way into July 1985. 10 months of a mix of reruns & new episodes, thanks mostly to the carryover of the CBS-era (1972-84) episodes, mixed with 65 new episodes.

In "Wheeler", the gang meets the titular newcomer, a wheelchair-bound teen who's also very adept at sports. If you've ever seen news articles on wheelchair sports, well, you'll get an idea in this entry.
