Getting Schooled: Fat Albert in Double Cross (1981)

Today, there are Holocaust deniers, who for some strange reason believe the history books are wrong about how the Nazis killed millions of Jews during World War II.

Nearly 40 years ago, Bill Cosby used The New Fat Albert Show to tell the story of how modern day neo-Nazis still posed a threat.

I don't know how many people saw this episode when it premiered on CBS in October 1981, since Fat Albert was kept in the lunch hour death slot. This clip is taken from a syndicated reissue three years later. Get past Rudy's antics at the start, and Brown Hornet, and you will learn something.

Rating: A.
