15. Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids

Bill Cosby’s reputation may be going down in flames like a slow-motion Hindenburg, but his contribution to pop culture history is still undeniable. In 1972, Cosby dreamed up Fat Albert and the gang, a group of kids who hang around a junkyard, play instruments of questionable quality, and learn a really valuable lesson each week. Cosby’s custom brand of light-hearted humor was etched into the show’s bones; it remained a crowd favorite until the show ended more than a decade later in 1985.
